Dave and I flew in from Charlotte. Unlike my last trip to slc this one went much more smoothly and we were making turns on the slopes by noon :) We skied at the park city Mtn resort the first day.
On Friday we headed up to snowbird and skied there.
Saturday we headed down to salt lake and met up with Adam who took us up passed alta on a backcountry ski trip. Avalanche conditions were low with a few pockets of moderate. We climbed up some cat tracks to a peak near mt wolverine. It was great weather and there were still a couple areas to make fresh tracks.
Saturday evening the conference started. Several of the WMS members who'd gone on Everest treks spoke about their experiences including one who summited.
Afterward there was a reception.
Jenn flew in Saturday night so Dave and I went down to salt lake and picked her up.
Sunday the conference started bright and early at 715am. Lectures include updates on hape and have. Lectures were over by 1130 leaving plenty of time to hit the slopes at canyons after conference was over.
Monday was similar to Sunday. Seth lectures about anticoagulation in the wilderness. Paul auerbach also talked about travel medicine. I hung out with Mike and Seth for a Appalachian center board meeting Monday night.
Tuesday lectures were more geared towards search and rescue with several case report presentations. Tuesday evening we had a banquet and hit up the hot tub afterwards.
Wednesday Luanne freer spoke about frostbite. There were also some lectures about risk taking.
Wednesday afternoon we headed back to slc and dropped Jenn off at the airport. Then we checked out the backcountry store and got some great Mexican food at the red iguana.
