ya it’s doable. if you park at the store and walk toward GW on the road it’s the snow clearing immediately before the lift, you’ll see some bad skinners and a lot of grass lol.
conditions I saw were slabby and snow structure fucked but no collapses and not much snow or angle where I went to be too sketchy
5 years ago this month :)

Since Ullr is punishing us I thought a sacrifice to sweet baby Jesus may help. I'm getting desperate here.

Back at Alta today , hadn’t been since last Sunday. Was very surprised about the amount of terrain open ~35%
Snow was good but pretty hard, groomers were pretty icy and crowded
Wolverine wasn’t bad , there is still some good snow to be had and generally had the softest skiing .
With that said , supreme can’t open up fast enough , we need another ft - ft and half before I don’t have to worry about tweaking a knee or ankle on land mine s
That's some funny shit...deal me in!Quote:

I cannot imagine what it is going to be like (actually I do know) at Alta over Christmas if they can't get Supreme open. I think it was two years ago that there was not much snow in Park City and skiers made the drive to LCC & BCC, it was insane.
is what it is
stoked to put on the sticks again
and share the shop passes for low tides soli turns n burns with the bmc , icemang, and friends

Don't know how they'll get supreme open without a supreme dump. I don't believe there is any snowmaking there now. Plan is to have it there in the next 1 or 2 years I'm told.Quote:

I blame mtnherps nonsense in the ullr thread.

Even with this shitty start to the season, this thread makes me miss skiing/living in Utah immensely. Need to make my way west again.
im just gonna leave this here cause i like the non alcoholic ski host
aint sure snowlerblades would be most POWDER peeps tools of choice
and personally have never heard anyone refer to him as mr solitude
and i think
#Iknow
crazy g
or the guy makin the cords and skiing the "whole mountain" every day on 200 cm elan nose pickers aka og real skis
is 10x more sillytude
but aint no denying bw's gittin after it on snow bum qualities
I aint a meteorologist, but I can read:
http://opensnow.com/dailysnow/utah
per opensnow the ridge of high pressure will weaken next week and will allow a system to come in.
If you look at the map, LCC is projected to get a .5" of water precip... Couldn't this be anywhere from 6/7 inches up to well over a foot depending on temp, wind, humidity etc???
^ long way out to be making any such predictions I think
no doubt! bw's always bringing itQuote:

Level 9 and SFB for the win, thx for the Solirides. Good to see Iceman and mate on the hill, conditions aren't stellar, but they are smile inducing.
Fun to be on first tram today, familiar faces galore. Regulator was a bit firm at the top but that gave way to edgeable spots down lower.
Burke rides the tram, in jeans.

That cow bell looks to be in a painful location.
Mountain Dell was stellar yesterday, picked up a season pass this morning, think it's going to get more use then my Soli pass this month.
Some Alta magic this morning even during the high pressure from hellhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...32fa71c038.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a84a10490b.jpg

^ nice!!
The Backside rope drop yesterday was definitely unexpected, and very appreciated. Got 2 untracked Backsides before venturing out the very long traverse to Greeley Hill/North Rus area for another 2.
what time did this happen?
I was there until 3 when I had an equipment malfunction. Found some good snow in the trees off Spruces, twas nice indeed.

At this point I'm looking forward to any system that gets rid of this inversion: This AM was awful. Hoping for 6-8 inches this weekend
Cool your jets with the 6-8 inches, ya'll need about 160-180 to get things in decent shape, which could still very well happen in about 3 weeks there.
Also, learn to live with the inversion and STFU about it, or leave Utah. If you live there, you contribute to it, it comes with the territory. You waive your right to bitch about air pollution when you wantonly become part of the problem.
yep. drive less, ~48% of it is vehicular emissions. take public transportation or a clean vehicle, don't burn wood, turn your heat down, etc if you want to do anything about it.
LOL gotta keep yer eyes open brah...that drop was way before 3pm....Quote:

Exactly. Or accept it, and continue to live you life as you did before, which is the approach I took, and will take, when I move back to SLC. You can keep your public transit and clammy house, I'll deal with the smog and drive where I please, when I please, and keep my heat where I damn well want, because none of those things are anyone's goddamn business but mine.Quote:

The next person who mentions the "benefits" of public transportation is going to get punched right in the babymaker. Sure, then you ride that bullshit, I'll enjoy driving my internal combustion vehicle everywhere I can.
