Wow, so I don't log in for 3 days and I come back and all you guys talked about for 3 days was me? Wow I feel honored. Now I have 3 days worth of posts directed at me I now have to respond to. That is fine by me. I guess you guys were done with this threads usefullness.
Passive aggressive much? If I'm a asshole for saying one day at Alta wasn't great then what does that make you guys?Quote:

You must really hate it then.Quote:

But compared to many other places Alta does not suck. So it all depends. Like compared to Park City then Alta is fantastic but compared to Snowbird then Alta is just ok.Quote:

Well let's see, you got the thousands of poor dumb souls who get to ski 2 weeks a year standing in line, you got most the losers on this forum who talk the ski bum talk but who are actually just weekend and holiday warriors who will be standing in line, then you got all the real ski bums who will also be standing in line because standing in 2 hour lines during the holidays for a couple weak lines are what they think a ski bum has to do..... so it will be worse. Won't see you there.Quote:

Those once a day runs must really make you a good skier. I must have ran the Gad 2 lift 2 dozen times. By hey, you are the hardcore skier here since you do that backcountry stuff.Quote:

Well I have responded to everyone. I will now go to bed not that I need to get up early since unlike you guys I am not dumb enough to endure tomorrow's shit show.
Feel free to make 2 dozen more posts referring to me that I can respond to since I know that is all you guys want to turn this thread into (I guess anything to keep your mind off an almost Jan 40" base uh? don't blame you)
Really? It took about 15 minutes. And I haven't been here in 3 days. So 15 minutes in 3 days verse your THOUSANDS of posts and a home setup here. Yeah and I'm the internet loser..... It does give me a nice smile knowing I can smoke you all here.Quote:

If Alta’s website is accurate, we are looking at 16 inches of 2% density snow this morning. Don’t sneeze too hard or you may blow it off the hill.
Up at 10420 right now and I'd say there's around 6" up hereQuote:

All Kevins aside, I really appreciate seeing real reports from real skiers, especially on powder days like this [deep fairy dust on crust?] when I have to hold myself back from dealing with traffic and chaos. Long winter ahead as it fills in and eventually settles a bit. Thanks for the actual stoke!!
yeah i'd say that upper big had a fair 6" of light snow on top of a spongey, fun base. 10420 is still full of sharks, but i got enough fun turns in that it was worth my timeQuote:

Historically the Alta snow report has been very accurate but I have also seen weird numbers lately, like today they are usually fixed. I think what is going on with the Alta reports is they are automated to update every hour using the Collins study plot which can have glitches but once a human steps in and looks at it they are fixed.
The Snowbird snow reports are historically the ones that drive me crazy! Look at today where Snowbird is reporting a storm total of 15" and Alta 12". The only automated site at Snowbird to look at on-line is the Snotel site at the top of the mid-gad lift which can be found be clicking HERE.
The total depth on the Collins study plot went up by 10" with this storm which matches well with a 12" storm total taking settling into consideration. Looking at Snowbird Snotel site (which I know is not their official study plot) you can see the total depth change with this storm was 7".
I would say Alta got 8 to 10”Quote:

I've noticed the inconsistency in alta's snowfall reporting since the marketing department took over those duties from patrol. It kind of annoys me since Alta's snowfall has historically been accurate and trustworthy. But oh well, things change and Alta gets radder. Not rad enough for Kevin, of course.Quote:

I think the Alta boys finally invested in a dehumidifier that they're running above the snow board. That thing strips 5% water content from every snowflake and artificially inflates the measured numbers. They got the idea from the Bird I hear. That or both resorts have managed to enhance the NW flow in a really small zone around their instruments.Quote:

Me think Kevin needs to learn how to multi-quote instead of padding his post-count, a full page of responses by an aggrieved teenager isn't something that should ever happen in this thread. And please don't respond to this K, you win, you're a better skier than me, etc...
