Le Tits Now, indeed.
We're heading up at the end of January. original plan was to split time between the resort and touring in the park, now not so sure that will be a good idea. No worries though! We'll make the most of whatever we get served up. Things can always turn around.
I'd love to meet up with anybody for laps and/or beers.
Cheers.
Pm me before ya roll in, staying close to my abode again? Plan to swing by...Quote:

It was pre Covid last time we skied it on the local 2 for 1 discounts. Surprised to see Utah’s paid parking in the most layed back ski area. My 8 yr old was pissed that she had to be a 5 yr old for free ticket. Locals saying they are expecting a sale of resort soon.
Figure I would open that can of worms and let u filthy animals give us your thoughts!
Pebble is not to bad but they are selective grooming (smart) due to lack of snow.
New groomer and the hill gets dressed up neatly. A little wind would help us with nature’s groom would be nice. But at least we are skiing.
How is snow king got 2 free days, might hold for better times???
Happy holidays you dirt bags !!!
Yeah I thought off trail skied really well yesterday and no one was skiing it. From the lift on my first lap I figured it must be funky by the lack of anyone skiing the face, but nope, great turns.Quote:

When I was there 2 years ago for a month, the paid parking was a small bit of the lot closest to the base area and was only in effect on weekends. Has that changed?Quote:

Da King is white but it's skiing thin. Wait for sure.
Thx. Done.Quote:

Heal up old man. The village needs you.
Update on Rutter: 2 stents installed the day of the incident. Doing well, may even be coming home Tuesday. A bit over 25K donated to help him deal with whatever comes next. Good on the community here, proud to be a part of it (even if I'm a winter transplant).
On the stoke side skiing is pretty rough out there as we all know but the hardcore types are having at it everyday...making turns, hanging together in the sun and enjoying what winter has brought us. To me that is what it's about...dealing with what the mountain is giving us and living the skier life. Do I hear a Kumbaya :)
Maybe a bit of fluff coming depending on who you believe
Thanks for the update, was wondering about his present status.
He's one of my oldest ski buds here, and our ski prep approaches are similar. Put the boots on and go skiing.
Glad he's on the mend. Looking at all of the locs who have donated to him was weird. Saw a bunch of old friends from the deep end of the gene pool. Even an ex-GF from the 90's... some names I'd forgotten.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turns were pretty nice yesterday but brief. Had to vacate the pole position poach in a semi timely fashion.
Thanks. Doesn't seem to be doing much of anything for anyone else! ;-)Quote:

More or less the least amount of snowfall at this point in the season in nearly fifty years of record keeping.
Shoot me a PMQuote:

At one point, I think I counted 15 moose. Several of the bulls were sparring and it was really fun watching and hearing the clash of the paddles. For about an hour or so, we both fired off a bunch of shots and just enjoyed the experience. It is one of those moments that I'll never forget.
Thanks for sharing that with me. https://images2.imgbox.com/6c/e2/L8V...?download=true

Agreed. Took the grom up for the end of day 3-4pm laps at the ghee. Shocked how much snow was up there. Pockets of 6-8” in the favored zones. Still glorified dust on huge bumps (for the ghee at least…)
Did not know this was happening. Thanks for heads up. Will try to be there.Quote:

That's basically straight out of the camera. Sick light, f/2.0. Don't love some of the artifacts when downsized, but it looks beautiful when viewed in full.
skied solo the past few outings... no interesting imagery.
Just rolled in to town. I will be ripping up your mountains for the next week or so, mostly village and the ghee once or twice if I can swing it. Anyone PM if you want to ski, my ski partner bailed on this trip last minute so I’ll be mostly solo out there. Or if you just want to apres I’ll be doing that also (it is vacation after all).
Those moose photos are sweet.
Awesome light. It just adds a whole 'nother element to the scene.
Seems like a few of us out of town mags rolling in. Be fun to meet up and take some laps with others.Quote:

Hey Mags, welcome back to town. Don't let it getcha down, there's plenty to do.
I'm taking today off but will be dinking around in the waxroom this evening. Holla to swing by for some festivities and wax. Anytime, actually.

TJoe - Yer jus' around the corner, if ya recall. Anytime's a good time, Holla and bring the special lady and the pupper.
Laid back and no requirements. Drinking, smokin', laughing.
Let's burn some skis this weekend, anyone?
I’ll be at the fireplace. Orange skis with bright yellow hat.

Really good skiing. Pleasantly deep. Hope everyone had a great day.
