Yeah, based on social posts that’s probably all it’ll be.

Opening day 2 years back was similar conditions and they let us get all the core shots we wanted. Looking at the cams, they let/had the trollers (assuming) track up upper LC bowl. Doesn't feel like much is gonna be open Thursday this time but I'm gonna be there to find out.

Alta opened the middle traverse yesterday, did not suck

Friday afternoon commuter special + Upside down storm, should keep things interesting through the weekend.

That's too bad.

Mixed feelings. Awesome opportunity, but if it has the same impact 2002 had, this place will become even more of a zoo.

Any bets on a rush job on the Gondola?

This place is already a zoo, who are we kidding?
I’m stoked on this.

I’m also going to be fucking 60 😳

Serious question, what part are you stoked on? Will you attend the events, or just love the excitement of the show? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just fail to see any positives.

Mixed feelings on 2034 Olympics too - glad it's 11 and not 7 years out. Sad truth is that 9/11 had a lot to do with why '02 games were so f-ing fun!

Ok I know this is the wrong place for this post - but thought I'd see if there was any interest here before trying to hawk this stuff elsewhere. PM me if interested and I can send pics and more info

I have 188 Voile HyperV6 2 years old, very good condition, mild use (I don't think I have even had to do any p-tex work on these) w/ dynafit rotation (10s I think) mounted for 29.5 (but these bindings have a stupid amount of adjustability - probably 1.5 - 2 MPs either way(?). Bindings are on the heavy side, but skis are very light so a pretty serviceable set up for the wasatch. $400.

178 Blizzard Zero G 85 (white ones from a few years back) with old school dyna comforts (new old stock when mounted a couple years ago) mounted for 320mm bsl. Skis have two seasons on them, very good condition, used for skinning up areas and spring time only (very light for not a lot of $) - $100.

LMK - cheers!

I’m definitely going to events this time. I was poor and putting my wife through doctorate school last go round.

I can tell you’re in the negatives bunch so tell us why this is a bad thing. I don’t get it.

Some of the best snow sports athletes in the world will come to compete in our backyard are you aren’t excited??

As a native Utahn, I feel like the 02 Olympics really helped to make SLC a better place to live for non-Mormon type folk. Sure, more people, more crowding, yada yada… but that’s inevitable at this point, 2034 Olympics or not. I think that bringing in money for better infrastructure (as long as that doesn’t mean a gondola) is a good thing. People love to complain about the airport, but it’s a really good airport, and that is in large part a result of the 02 games. I also think that bringing people, and perspectives from around the world into Utah is also a good thing. Hell, maybe the Olympics can be used as a way to motivate the legislature to take action to help save the lake from drying up, and to help improve our air quality.

But maybe I’m just being optimistic!

More people, more pollution, more exposure, more growth, more crowds.

You got really fucking old buddy. Your backyard is super crowded if you haven’t looked lately. The Olympics isn’t going to do shit on top of where we are.

Same boat here. I’m ever looking to volunteer to help as I’ve gotten more into volunteering this last year with things I enjoy.
Big fan of the Olympic Games since I was a kid and nothing has changed.

Put me in this camp. I love high level sports in general and the Olympics in particular. If I’m still kicking I’ll definitely attend as many events as possible and would love to volunteer. As for the overcrowding, that ship has already sailed. I can’t see, hosting another Olympics adding anything more than is already coming.

Yay! Finally!! Financial incentive not to let the lake dry out and kill us all in a selenium cloud!

It's the only thing that moves the needle with this fucking legislature.
