Wasatch Winter 2012-13 Ski Descent List
After reading Kim Havell’s Tick List, I was inspired to make one of my own highlighting my list of ski descents from the winter of 2012-13. Even though our Wasatch winter snowpack was deficient in water weight, we were blessed with good avalanche stability. Ridgelines and chute entrances were rocky, but there were good windows to hit big lines.
Here’s what I ticked off during the season:
