Guys look, yell at me all you want, but you have to accept that this is part of the norm across Western N.A. now.
Every area is going to experience wild variation in seasons. Colorado this year, NW/B.C. the next. We're all going to have to adapt.
If you want pow all season long, you're going to have to hunt for it. That means travel is inevitable.
Today I went to the resort with the best snow conditions .....

happy solstice pagens
So we didn’t cancel and made the best of our week. Hit solisunday and was treated to some fast groomers, which my boys liked. Watched some panthers beat the packers and all was good. Monday was surprisingly fun at Alta using our wasatch pass benefit. Again lapped groomers all day and kids were pumped. Tuesday morning Brighton was not too hot. Was actually congested for the amount of runs open. Oh well. Headed back down to solitude for a great afternoon of hitting “jumps”off moonbeam. Boys have the go pro footage to prove it. Wednesday had a cream puff day of deer valley. Again just lapped groomers and watched the snow fall as we packed up. Met the dog and the montage and apres fondue.
While not a local, the was the 6th trip in 11 months for the family and it was totally proof that a bad day of skiing is better then a good day of work.
Thanks for all the intel prior to coming out about bailing or not. Basically, have our solitude family pass paid for already so I’m int the money for the rest of the season.
Glad you had a nice visit. Please send more snow.Quote:

I landed back in SLC from a business trip tonight and watched all the giddy tourists schlepping their gear over to the rental car counter. I hope I never take for granted this place. Even when the tide is low.

Nice, reminds me of when my dad would fly me out from the ATL to experience the grandeur of the Wastach. The South Will Rise Again!
They told us when we moved here that people come for the winter and stay fit the summer. It’s pretty spot on. I’ve never lived anywhere with the amazing grandeur so close and diverse.

come for the wasatch, stay for moab and the la sals... and the uintas... and the insane trail running 5 mins from your house... and so on
Agree. The variety of outdoor activities in the warm months is far more diverse. Hiking, camping, backpacking, mtn biking, climbing, on and on. Sure the winters are fun, but Utah kicks ass when it's warm.Quote:

Your guys are killing me. Of course we think of moving. Honestly though we have a good thing going in NC also. 32 straight winters in the Wasatch and I'm happy my sons love them as well.Quote:

Come for the winters, bail to the desert when the winter takes a sabattical. If the current models hold up I'll be tuning up the bikes soon.
PSA: As I am officially out for most if not all of this season, it is going to go off in the Wasatch guaranteed. I don't care what the models show, they lie. Get in shape, stockpile days off, get your gear ready to go, it's gonna be ON.
Has anyone ridden Moab this week? How are the trails doing down that way.Quote:

Then I bounced for the good, never leave good snow to find good snow they say, I guess the opposite is true too.

Fucking winter is done. I just put blizzaks on the shaggen wagon. Fack it may never snow again...
But I will still be up at Brighton manayana making the most of it!
might hafta buy some nordic gear sfotex that’s looking more fun than what I’ve been doing
but I’m at the airport gone for 9 days so doubtless it will pound... here’s hoping anyway
got a fat bike. If the skiing sucks then that will be fun, and won't have to ride in shape again before Summer.....
Well that did not suck at brighton. Snakecreek liftline was $$$

Snowbird "rocked" today. Felt good to ski soft snow again!
Catherine's was a good time. Starting to actually feel like winter. Hoping we are 1 good storm cycle from getting the high T cranking.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0cac4f9c3c.jpg

It was nicer today, but Harper's was a much better call than Harper's East. Stixlife, yo.Quote:
