Hey how about that inch and a half.
The 7 day is looking better…maybe we’ll get a reset.

To all my friends at home - I'm on a 6 week "vacation" in SLC. Snowbasin has gotten 31" since tuesday, Powder Mt. has gotten 37". Your pass will work at Snowbasin, and if you're over 75 (like me), you can ski for free at Powder Mt. Just sayin'.

skied fri and sat. Did all the classic groomers. Was cold as shit Friday morning but warmed up nicely throughout the day. I think my favorite place to ski when it hasn't stormed in awhile is off frenchmans. Great chalky bumps and a good fall line with great tree spacing.

Decided to check out all that new terrain off of Seattle ridge and what a blast all that is. Ducking the rope right out the gate there are fun low angle 'pow' turns.

First time we did it we dropped in on 'numbers' I think. Tighter turns with less glading. Did two more laps where we stayed ob and then ducked back in on sunrise bowl. skied those sun nuked turns and then hit the glades which are a ton of fun as they are all north facing. Chalky fun bumps.

Finished both days with a fire trail top to bottom it's even better (or worse) depending on how you look at it as it turns into monster waist deep single file bumps below the cat track. it's fucking hell punishing single file bumps, you hate it but you love it because it's dumb as shit but rewarding once you exit.

love skiing the valley of the sun. I'll be posting the monster cut of prime rib I got in the appropriate thread :)

Thank you so much for hopeless for hooking up the friends and family so my wife could ski slow ass laps on seattle ridge. she was stoked to drink her first chair beer with us on mayday lol. She's been coming to sv since she was a kid from alaska and lovse it here but is an absolutely terrible skier but has to ski when she comes. A solid 5 laps for her donation to the holding family.

anyway, sweet blog sorry for writing a bunch but what else is going on here :)

Time for a 40 on Mayday! Used up the rest of my F$F today @ $225 full/$191 half. JFC!!!

Hey mags, I'm in town for the weekend, anyone wanna catch a few chairs up here? Not sure how my basin season pass works, but I know it's supposed to somehow.

Yeah man!!! Another Wednesday surprise.

Calm before the STORM

See you on the lifts when they turn I’ll be on praxis powder boards.

Hope you guys get your cameras fixed for this one.

About 10 in my driveway so far and it's hammering. Low density too, for now.

I'm near Dollar and am tempted to avoid the chaos this morning.

I'm sure glad you guys are getting good skiing while I'm out of town. It's been OK at Pow Mow.

Yes Sol Skier!

So, has SV been taping yard sticks to their snowstake to accommodate a 186” base??

Last day for the challenger lift.
Warm springs parking lot has some deep puddles that you can swim in.


Amazing skiing with the family

New Challenger lift work.

alright who wants to throw down on this? seems like a fun spot

https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...4&from=map-pin

Bruce willis owns the adjacent lake and looks like you can get to it on a jeep trail of somesort. Anyone ever head up there?

Yeah the sage brush, aspen and fir stands a bit lower were a favored for archery elk hunting back in the day. Boulder City draws a steady stream of ORVs to the area.

Mag basin. I'm on it as soon as I win the jillion.

That's the general area where Clint Eastwood filmed Pale Rider in the late 70's. It's a great movie just for the early fall scenery - a snow dusting and fall aspens.

alright i can put each of you down for 100k, sounds like it's a done deal. let's do this.

thanks for those links hopeless!


btw is there a land/propery finds post on here that isn't a thread full of making fun of stupid zillow listings? I'd post there but couldn't find one.

^Start one up. I love gawking at properties, and not just the shitty ones in that other thread

Yep, per BCRD it's closed.

AREA COMMENTS - This season, the Sun Valley Resort has closed some trails on Baldy for public and crew safety related to mountain construction and forest health projects. Both the Cold Springs and the Warm Springs side of the Bald Mountain Perimeter Trail #328 are closed to all uses. The Bald Mountain Trail is closed to all bike use (it is usually open to uphill mountain bike traffic), and the Traverse Trail (cat-road) is open to foot traffic on its east end (River Run side) up to the Bald Mountain Trail.

Does anybody else think they should open the bowls for experts only -no easy way down??

CK

I don't how how you'd enforce that other than a sign that people will ignore that says "exports only, no easy way down" and gates/ropes?

is it a junk show of patrol work rescuing people there this year?

Hoping S.V. gets some snow soon.

In past low snow years, they would post an experts only sign and let us try our luck. I think with new mt mgmt and lots of new ski patrol, they're just gun shy. I don't blame them - lots of the icon passholders probably read as well as they ski and would just ignore the sign. I'm just horny for more terrain.

CK

Oh for some reason I didn't read that as they were explicitly closed but rather a free for all and too many bad skiers making their way into the bowls needing rescue. Also stinks there is no skier compaction on them..

Yeah that sucks they aren't opening for those that are willing and can ski it.

Come use your sv pass at snowbasin, pretty good base. Just don't come on a weekend it's a shit show.
