true that. though i had a lot more fun climbing in little cottonwood this weekend then i would have had sliding around in the slush at alta like i was originally going to do. why didn't we get a spring?

you might look into seeing (if it aint too late) if you can find a pair of ascent skiis. they're like 120-150cm long, and fat enough to float on. Most come with skins, and they can make the world way better...
