How hard is it to get a parking reservation at Brighton? Last minute my family decided they wanted to go there during our break next week. Planning to ski M, T, Thurs. Of course there are no reservations available. Looks like there will be more released next Sunday. Do people struggle to get them?

Any locals have a line on discounts better than the Ikon 25% off? Most of my family skis free there with our local Alpental passes, but have 2 college kids without passes this year.

As mentioned before, reservations are only required Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Monday the 19th looks like an exception because of the holiday, so you’ll need a reservation for Monday during your week only.

Texas Tumbler/Doaks Chute?

Unfortunately named for the last guy that thought it went and died.

well..after a great beginning of this trip with my sons, plan was Solitude,Brighton, Snowbird, then I was going to scoot to points further afield but it came to an abrupt halt Tuesday morning...could have been karma for my snarky remark pages ago, but that would be pretty brutal Karma.
Friday morning continued snow at solitude gave fantastic conditions when they opened Honeycomb early afternoon

Saturday we made some great early runs off great western and mid morning went out the side gate to the hidden valley{?} area. I dropped into like the third chute, boys went on to the next. Midway as the chute narrowed I stopped, and rather than straight lining started jump turning down, missed one fell forward and was flipping and tomahawking immediately..... a long ragdoll 100-150 yds seemingly forever, all witnessed by my sons .... pin bindings did not release, knew half way my legs were broken. Came to a rest seated with my back facing uphill which was a good thing. My feet felt like they were swimming independently in warm water.

Sons were there to keep me from doing anything to make me slide off my perch.

we called patrol and while waiting someone who'd previously patrolled stayed with us and gave them better location information, whoever that was thanks for your knowledge and help!!!!

Now Brighton Ski Patrol----- Thank you, thank you, thank you it wasnt' an easy place to pull someone out with a tib/fib fracture in both legs. don't have previous experience but I was shivery and shocky and they made it as easy as possible. Will, Max, wish I remember all the many people involved, Thank you

Intermountain Medical and staff has also been amazing, super competent and really kind. Im flying home tomorrow, it will be hellacious but surgery can't happen till swelling goes down... meantime I have my cool hardware.... this is going to suck

Honeycomb was a blast

[east or bust]

Vibes man, that majorly sucks.

Heal up and be back on snow next season.

[JongDoe]

Yowza, that sucks bad. Crazy how bloated your legs are. Heal quickly.

[zion zig zag]

ooof, Daviski, I'm sorry to hear that!

I may have coincidently witnessed this yesterday - I was on the tram and saw someone rip a fast massive turn below the weather station towers on the hanging snowfield above the rocks before they disappeared from my view. We were waiting for another friend and in the 5 minutes we were hanging out patrol jumped out and shut all the gates going towards that side followed 10 mins later by a heli starting to circle

I am not very familiar with snowbasin so it initially appeared to just be a ripper in control shredding the gnar, but if he was over his head he must have absolutely flew off that cliff

[tgapp]

oh man, vibes dude. hope ya heel up quick, get better, and come back next season for more

Holy shit was that YOU getting airlifted out of there on Sat??

Absolutely brutal injury to go through. So sorry to see that happen, and wishing all the best on the recovery.

daviski - Good God, that is horrible. I hope you have a good support network at home to help get you through this.

That's a bad place to lose an edge or get lost....
