Maybe Moving to SLC area??

Snowbasin has some good terrain. Powmow for fun backcountry lines & more low key atmosphere. Nothing wrong with spending winter in the Ogden area mountains. It's all good skiing this year.

I still haven't gotten together with whyturn yet this year. Been traveling a lot and I'm out of town for the next two weeks. Sirheady and whyturn, let's get together for a drink when I get back in town and plan the second half of winter.

Snowbasin or Pow Mow?

Ended up being able to live rent free with my new boss in an in law suite in Ogden for a few months so unfortunately have to ski up there for the remainder of the season.

Skied snowbasin pre olympics as a grom and remembered it being a little run down.

Obv they have changed that but in terms of terrain and snow quality what is the best option for a pass for the remainder of the saison??

Season's half over. Snowbird usually starts selling their spring pass in early March. Significantly cheaper/better snow/longer season.
You don't want to be spending weekends in your new bosses inlaw. Road trip till the spring pass kicks in.

Yea absolutely guys. I'll be up there first week of March and trying to shred as much as possible with the TGR dudes and get a good ski group going.

Whats the coolest (non LDS) neigbhorhood in SLC that will be most conducive for a commute to Ogden. I'll be working at Ogden Jet Center

Somewhere near Liberty Park is probably a good call. Relatively easy access to I 15, rent shouldn't be too expensive.

But I would also consider the old part of Ogden off of 25th. It's not as cosmopolitan as SLC, but it's cheaper, it's walkable/bike-able, and there is a little bit of live music, a good local climbing and MTB scene, etc. I did the commute you're thinking of for a couple years, and it gets old. But everything in life is a trade off, and I think the commute from the Liberty Park area to that part of Ogden probably isn't over 50 minutes in the car on most mornings.

[SirHeady]

yea and coming from Atlanta 50 min aint no thing

[SirHeady]

I'll be out there March 14.

Has Snowbird released their spring pass yet? Any word on how much$$$?? Whats the best pass option for late season skiing?

[snowaddict91]

Haven't seen anything from the Bird regarding spring passes yet. I would say it is your best option this year since they should be open till at least memorial day!

[SJG]

They announced it a couple days ago. $579 from 3/1 onward.

[SirHeady]

Anyone looking to hit up snowbird this weekend?

[happytimefunbox]

Sir Heady did you make it out here? Where you skiing this weekend? I could maybe get you a comp at soli or a cheap ticket at brighton....

Wish I had seen this earlier. I had a pass at Snowbasin and always looking for people to ski with. I just purchased a pass for next season. I'll check back and see if this thread is still active! Congrats on the move!

I have a job offer in Park City so I’m making the jump from Reno in a couple months. Mostly remote but will be commuting to Park City a couple days a week. Might as well keep this thread alive instead of starting a new one.

I think I have a pretty good idea on the neighborhoods. Kind of leaning towards the Millcreek area, seems like a good middle ground between having some local restaurants/bars but a little closer towards LCC/BCC.

My main questions are as a mtber and a skier, is it worth living up towards the foothills (Avenues/University) for mtb access? It seems these are the closest trails to town. Or would I end up just driving to the canyons or Park City to ride? Are there any areas around the City that just become a bottleneck on the way to LCC/BCC or some backcountry zones?

I know, Utah sucks, don’t move there. And honestly, I’m pretty content in Reno, but it’s a sweet gig.

If your job is in PC, why not live there?

$$$ and it seems like the better skiing is in BCC/LCC.
