High Uintas - Bald Mountain

May 27, 2017 - Northeast Utah

3.0 mi  /  1,722 ft

Dave has a Memorial Day weekend tradition of climbing the east face of Bald Mountain in the High Uintas, and then skiing back down it. This has been a relatively big snow year, so we weren't 100% sure the road was even open. We weren't able to get to the normal starting point, but it was plowed far enough that we were able to improvise. It's a steep, but short climb straight up the east face. Dave was able to ski all but about 50 feet (rocks exposed near the summit), which made him happy. I was also able to video him doing most of it, both with my camera, and the Mavic. Manually following someone descending is kind of tricky!
