Lisa Falls
Finished off my pre-Camp Linda skiing binge with the queen of the Wasatch classics: Lisa Falls Couloir.
A mix of skinning and booting up Tanners
Andrew and Jared in the wind on the notch. And yes they both use the "fly" for venting!
Creamy untouched skiing from the notch into upper Broads

Looking East at the Notch we just skied from
Top of Lisa Falls was very firm with some frozen chunks to negotiate, things corned up as we descended and the skiing got good.

the line
Another great loop, although this one I would not want to tackle without Andrew's expertise and experience. Thanks man!
Now for a little time in the dirt.

You make skiing/boarding at pretty much any resort that I have been to, a walk in the park. Keep up the pictures.

Bart- do you think skinning/booting up these peaks is harder than mountain biking? It's great cross training. I'm curious what your thoughts are on this.
Nice job on skiing some of the coolest lines in the Wasatch.

Rick- Everything just depends how hard you push it, you can be at your limit at either one.
I find booting has more of a muscular endurance limiter compared to skiining and or biking both of which have more of a cardiovascular limiter. I try to boot with a high cadence and short step length but that does not always work out with my stubies.
Yea I think it is a great workout as you can sustain high aerobic levels for 1-2 hrs when booting up something like Tanners or the Y. That kind of aerobis work is not practical on the bike.
The down side is I seem to put on a litle muscle mass but I am not sure if it limits me on the bike.
It's also refreshing and takes no menetal focus to sustain high levels like riding a trainer. You can burn up your central nervous system on the trainer or you can save the high level focus needed for intense efforts for the the races.

That's some burly skiing! The photos are excellent.

I'm sure the photos don't do justice to the real beauty. I'm jealous you're out in what looks like the wild compared to the resort!
