The splitfest was in town over the weekend.

http://wowasatch.com/pictures/Winter%2005-06/march/march%2018/frozone.jpg

We had great snow conditions.

http://wowasatch.com/pictures/Winter%2005-06/march/march%2018/buckchow.jpg

Splitting means the snowboard is split into skis for the ascent,

http://wowasatch.com/pictures/Winter%2005-06/march/march%2018/marching.jpg

and put together for the descent.

http://wowasatch.com/pictures/Winter%2005-06/march/march%2018/georges-one.jpg

Sometimes, face shots, are received on the descent.

If that's the case, then I stand corrected.

WOW uses 'WOW' on a couple of sites, so I figured if it was him he'd use WOW here as well. Also, his MO is not simply to post pics to thump his chest (like in these posts), he always includes backcountry obs, which these posts are missing.

numerous reasons ... powder conservation is sufficient reason enough ... turns are the best, the more the marrier -- it just feels good ... like keeping time in music, or keeping a beat to the rhythm ... more depth to the powder, more times dropping into the turn, sinking into the snow ... mmm

don't get me wrong, fast and large GS turns are a pleasure too

I've already been x-country skiing twice- yesterday and last week. Both at Little Mill campground up AF Canyon. Last week there was barely enough snow to ski on and I couldn't use my poles much because the tips were hitting asphalt. Yesterday, there was plenty of the fresh white stuff and my pole tips never hit anything other than snow. Here's hoping, unlike last season, that there's plenty more trips to come this year!

I haven't been much of a fan of Powder Mountain lately, with the whole Summit thing. That's another story though.

But today was the last day at the cheap price for the season, and there was some deep Pow Pow up there so I decided to head up for a few hours.

Cold as hell, but deep powder.

And the road coming down, long long lines of cars sliding and skidding and running into the snowbank, but we all made it I think.
