Yes, dear old Roald is one intense looking dude.
Apparently Roald and his team had "fun" on their return trek to to South Pole
(While Scott's team froze to death...)
Don't let him get into your head, at some point you may hear his voice telling you to eat your dogs.
I heard he wasn't a cheerful chap and, the picture probably does him justice. But an amazingly strong character he must have been.

Nice!
You seem to be in the zone for snow this year?

Yep, so far so good!
We'll probably be in a drought next year but enjoying it for now!

Ya gotta love the Pineapple Express this year! Make the most of it while you can.

Cutting a skin track with the Rossi Alpineer 86. Got some good glide and turns on consolidated powder. And found some bottomless powder spots where they just sank. Almost went over but saved it at the last second. I’m starting to see why @fisheater likes the Rott Cable. I tried it off first, yes I forgot to latch ‘‘em on my boots, and the rest of the time on. Definitely seemed more in control. Definitely.

Yeah, I'm thinking cables help!
And with that "atmospheric river" it seems we've been waking up to this just about every other day!

Again?!
We need to have a little chat about sharing, and letting some of this white stuff swirl around to some other places.

And this is today (well, several hours after that picture)! Still covering my snowblower tracks.
We get 3 days without snow starting tomorrow....thank goodness, because I don't have any tendons left without "itis" on them.

We're not getting as much snow as Utah but conditions have been great in Western Colorado. Here's a pic from last night on the Uncompahgre Plateau -
