at first i was like 20 minutes? pass. but since i was bored at work I gave it a shot and I'm sure happy I did! That was sweet dude plus I did some tours with Corey this year and its always nice to watch friends in a ski movie! Looks like you made the most of an epic season!
Got up and skied Suicide Chute yesterday... choke's getting a little thin, but it's still skiable from the top to within a few hundred feet of the road!
More pictures...
Still plenty of snow up there!
as previously stated, main has been pretty fun this july but things have certainly changed quite a bit in the last week...then again, i have to remind myself we're in august now.

So I might come down this weekend for some August turns, is this worth a two-hour drive?
Let me hijack this thread east by 50 miles or so. I heard there's still a lot of snow in the Uintas near Camp Steiner. I've never been out that way. Is anybody up for a day trip Thursday or Friday for some turns? I can do the transporting if you can navigate.

that's up near bald mtn pass isn't it? i don't know the area but i need august turns and would be down for the trip if someone can attest to there being something easily skiable.
looking for my august turns as well, but it would have to be a weekend trip
going to hit main this weekend. Ill use snowbird for the way up....spot a car at alta. Done. Sept will probably be gunsight or devils castle apron and we all know what usually happens by the end of october?? Mmmmmmm 11/12 season.
Camp Stiener is past bald mountain pass 4-5 miles. Did some turns on Superior this am, lovely suncups. Saw a guy lay down some fine turns on the apron, looked better than Sup.

TRs, photos, videos, and building skis (2 pairs so far...):

so has anyone been up alta this week? Main still continuous?
still continuous as of yesterday, some friends skied it. I like the idea of Tram up, your smart.

Thanks for the Steiner/Hayden info. If I try it tomorrow, I'll report back. Then again, tram---> Alta (or Little Cloud) sounds pretty alluring for my lazy ass.
Anybody seen Slaag up at Alta?

lots of snow everywhere - white/red pine areas loaded!
The Uintas were (was?) a bust. I saw some ribbons of snow up high but nothing beyond patches by the highway. Since I don't know my way around, I didn't feel like hiking in. Pretty drive, though.
I'll probably hike up Brighton, or hit the Bird tram Friday.
