Have this on the radar, Soli is my all time favorite resort to ski in Utah. In a strange bbi twist, my sis in law just took a 2 yr teaching gig in China and for the first time in 25yrs I wont have crash space in SLC. I may have to work around some kid ski race stuff to make the dates work, dunno yet but hopeful to make this one too.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ef657d0d5.jpg

I'd be interested if this goes down. Else I'm staying in the van. Hopefully can convince @Homebrewd to wander west with me.Quote:

So let's get some pics up... venue stoke, please. From shacks n mellows to billygoat gnar. We need some visual snowstimulation here in the weeks of smoke.
Bonus points for mag content. Set some expectations, build some scrap of familiarity into the party.
Oh, you're the dude who built the Castle Shack! Oh, you shred dude, let's ski a couple laps! Oh, you're Iceman's wife! Stoked to meet you!
It can help the tour guides build effective days, too.
Lest you forget the Taylor ham/pork roll from jeosy subzitution
Yeah, I know it's not lamb bacon
Gonna pencil this in and try to make it. I haven't been to BCC or LCC in like five years.
Anyone coming from the PNW that wants to take laps at Bogus on the way through, hit me up.

The Buddha of the EGP Bootpack.
There was a great little shack at Solitude that looked like this:

That was like 15 years ago...
It was still there during the winter of 16/17.Quote:

if anyone knows anyone who wants to sell me a legal spot to part my van when i'm up canyon, for the season, i will pay well for that. preferably brighton loop.
will say in advance to out of towners, dont think you can roll up canyon and crash in your rig, drink etc. they are fucking on you. canyon police. in utah. hope to meet and ski w you all. word.
solitude has it's own canyon police on duty just for the resort 24/7
This is good beta as this is pretty much what I was planning to do. Thanks.Quote:

Pretty lame. Is this in a state dominated by a conservative religious sect or something?
Maybe if you stick to 3.2 beer the ponanny will leave you alone?
probably the closest place to do that is Colorado.Quote:

Here's one pic I found after 15 minutes that's kinda shitty but kinda cool with some names on it.

Wow. Hanging Bone and #23 look fun. I hope I can make this. I might be working though.
Ooooo...4 out of 5 people in involved in this video are maggots. Impressive shit.

If I manage to thin my vehicle herd by then my driveway could be an option. Thats a big "if" though.Quote:

you can park across from big in the overflow lot. do not park in the park and ride lot overnight. my intel is dated by 1.5 yrs or so, best bet is to blend in w the 1.5 trillion strip mall hell parking lots that is the entirety of the area outside the canyons.
i will certainly defer local knowledge to sfb and others. i'd literally pay someones rent for the season in the brighton loop to laugh at the canyon police.
It's gone now.Quote:

If TheFugitive is stepping up and offering his pull-out couch, I will offer my driveway for anyone doing #vanlife stuff. 4x4 access only and be prepared to be cold (assuming that we are blessed with seasonally appropriate weather). I will even let you poach detrusor's wifi from my driveway.Quote:
