alpine ski tour: wolf creek beacon park and more - uintas - February 14, 2026

UAC installed a beacon training park near Wolf Creek Summit in the Uintas earlier this week. Let's go check it out and practice. Participants will need a beacon and probe. We do not dig up the beacons. This is also an opportunity to test the multi-burial functionality of your beacon.
After our practice, let's get some lines on surrounding terrain. Possibilities include short tree lines above Wolf Creek Campground, low angle lines on looker's left of Wolf Creek Bowl, or riskier lines on looker's right of Wolf Creek Bowl or Neeley Bowl. What we ski will depend on avalanche forecast risk and ability of participants. We will not ski any lines that put us on or under slopes above 30 degrees if those aspects and elevations are orange/considerable for any avalanche problem or yellow/moderate for PWL. Touring these areas requires full avalanche rescue gear (beacon, shovel, probe), knowledge of use of gear, and ability to assess terrain. Participants need to review the forecast linked below in the morning before meeting for this tour.
Please RSVP via EMAIL for meeting location and time. If I have not toured with you, please include details regarding your skiing ability and avalanche education.
One or two of my dogs may join and we will probably eat at Mirror Lake Diner post tour.
