This can’t be good.
I’ve been in the snowbird lot at 6:30 the past 12 days due to the kids ski racing camp. The sheer volume of our of state plates makes me very sad (California is most represented). If they could just stop being dick heads to the parking guys it would go a lot better....

^ Because they cant ski moguls, haha.
Made the walk up to Broads Fork, hoping Bonkers was going to be good. It wasnt. It was a long bushwack, to really bad wind hammered snow, to flat bushy snow, to rocky snow, to brushy snow, to carry your skis out adventure snow. Lessons learned, snow is in need. The top of bonkers actually slid a ways from the cliff band looks left. I would think BCC needs like 4 feet of snow before I head back up there. The day was beautiful though and laughs were had.

Second this, had to be visitors, why would anyone stand in a long line at Supreme when Collins was substantially shorter? For whatever reason I am seeing very few IKON passes worn as a badge of honor and the line for buying day tickets was down the stairs out past the skis racks and half way to the GMD.
Could be because of blackout dates

COVID, 30 minute lift lines, full parking lots, 20-30” base, dangerous backcountry conditions, 50-60% of normal snowpack...Let’s hope for better things to come in 2021. Happy New Year maggots.

I'm blacked out, but a buddy told me that on Tuesday there were well over 1000 people crowding the small space where Frostwood and Silverload converge.
Skinned up this morning (which was fun), took a few laps when the lifts started spinning but the lines were stacked and I left (still fun, because skiing, but not fun enough to keep me there). When I left I couldn’t believe the line of cars coming in. Drove by again about 30mins ago and seems to be settling down - I probably just hit the morning crowd skiing before the NYE drinks start flowing.

Question
Is KTS the GSA?
Thought I'd share a New Year's tale from 2008?
Sitting down to a shot and dinner with the better half and the Cantin's at their place at the Inn.
Kids were all over the globe.
Had the radio on 'cause it was storming.
Call comes in from Villa.
"Just got hit, moved, and buried by a slide in Mineral".
He's in a snowcat.
Fuck, eh?
Looked at my boots, looked at the shot, took the shot, put on my boots, and said good night.
Start of a wild night.
Shoulda stolen that bottle...
Happy New Year, all.
Let's hope 2021 is built for us optimists.
2020 either built or destroyed your character. As an optimist 2021 cant get here soon enough.
Obs from 7AM start up grizz. Lotsa people going slow in the skinner. Patsy trees are well skied and skied well. Crossed michigan angling for Davenports cabinline got whumphs and shooting cracks through solar crusts on SW aspects in thin snow so bailed and got a decent one down city rocks. Good first real tour of the season.

Went up White Pine to Tri Chutes and had a much different result than yesterday. Made 6 laps up there, the WSW face to lookers left of the Chutes was firing, fresh soft turns down the whole thing. As evidenced in the pictures.
