Jamie’s caption reads, “Noticed a #UFO whereas snowboarding Gulf of Slides yesterday morning (JK… these are lenticular clouds)”Â
The Gulf of Slides is a backcountry path in Pinkham Notch in New Hampshire, and is described as a reasonably steep bowl that funnels right into a under treeline path.Â
Powder Undertaking describes the path as being bootpack attainable, and with “good snowboarding” available.Â
“Hike up the Gulf of Slides path and find yourself on the base of the primary pitch. Boot pack up from there and ski down. On the primary pitch, there’s a constant fall line and good snowboarding. On the best way down, anticipate some moguls and concentrate on others climbing up.”
Lenticular clouds (what Jamie noticed, and never, to everybody’s dismay, an precise UFO), are shaped downwind of mountains, and are described by Met Workplace as “lens-shaped orographic wave clouds type when the air is steady and winds blow throughout hills and mountains from the identical or related course at totally different heights by the troposphere.”Â
Their form? You guessed it. Curved layers, like, effectively, alien craft.
If aliens are on the market, they might very effectively ski. They in all probability have not made contact with the human race as a result of they do not need us stealing all that pow on Uranus and Neptune (hey, these planets are frozen, so it is attainable).Â
What we all know for positive is that they positively do not snowboard.Â
