In theory Brighton won't be crowded on Monday as all the Ikoners go to Solitude and ski there until other resorts get snow. Parking should be easy then I guess?Quote:

Going to hit up Deer Valley Tomorrow. I am on Ikon and Solitude Doesn't Open up until the 7th and I don't feel like using my 2nd of 5 alta/bird days for a Saturday WROD. I tried going to Brighton last Saturday with my daughters only to find out that they were under the reservation system for Ikon. The thing that really irks me is I can't head up on an afternoon @ 2:30 to ski with my 5/7 year old (when everyone is clearing out on the mountain). Is it just me or are mountains utilizing reservations going to lose huge amounts of revenue this year to the obvious benefit of local passholders?
They lost a lot of money closing in mid-march last year. I’m guessing they’re hoping to just stay open and make a little money.
Snowbird still stepping it up, mask enforcement, outdoor portapotties, well spaced minimal lines. I only waited in a line at Zoom all day today, every other lift was one or two groups or ski on. Gad 2 opened today, but Election only. Upper bypass road is a first come first served parking area, they had signs claiming to have your QR ready but nobody there to scan. Heard from a parking person that it’s the one loophole in the reservation situation. Preferred parking is going back to 2:00 time again next week.
Getting a bit glazey here and there, we need some snow.
A piece of Alta history passes.

elfriede was a legend.
when we hired a chef (who hadnt worked in the canyon before) a couple years ago, he did a tasting in the summer. it was really tasty but a bit complex. after one of the new menu ideas was served, she said, "you need to remember that ski bums are making this. making it complicated isn't going to work. they are here to ski." that dish was nixed.

You can’t ski a forecast. It has to be on the ground first.Quote:

ill take a look, PM your # and i can shoot you a text if your looking still... ill be up there Thursday ishQuote:

Anyone ski deer valley yet?
Friend wants to ski saturday who has ikon pass and he doesnt want to burn alta day yet. I was up at soli this past week - skiing was alright, but terrain was verryyyyy limited.
Deer valley has been a pretty good time. Still icy, but their snowmaking is better than the cottonwoods, and there’s a decent amount of long runs open to spread people out.Quote:

So you know where not to be (or be underneath) once this storm cycle gets going.
That’s a lot of dirt for December 10th
it's interesting to me how much snow the "south facing" aspect in grizz holds compared to the emmas.
Rumor mill spinning up a yarn about Vail buying Sundance.
Mt Wolverine just gives enough of a shadow. Surprised to see BB / Michigan City as well covered.Quote:

Yikes. Potentially worse than the Vail rumor I had heard. These people sound like amateurs.Quote:
