    WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 17-18

    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

    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

    Been skiing Brighton last couple weekends. Been pleasantly surprised given the terrible snowfall. Really need some snow though. Great Western and Milly can't open soon enough. Super crowded today. Opensnow is saying we might have a chance for something next weekend, but right now its looking high and dry until Christmas.

    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.

    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.

    I was just talking about how the limited terrain and tourists will make for human pinball conditions with the tight quarters. I won't be there unless a ton of snow flies.

    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.

    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???

    no doubt! bw's always bringing it

    at solitude for the little man's big mt training, and decided to take a walk. while thin would be an understatement, agree that it is what it is and however it plays out, gonna try to ride the shit out of whatever we get and make the most of it.

    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.

    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.

    Latest Open Snow Forecast: http://opensnow.com/dailysnow/utah

    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....

    You'll learn grasshopper...you'll learn... just be patient and give it time..

    6-8 is only going to cover more rock....need more like 60-80"...and that would just be a start.

    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.

    I would trade that smog for the unbelievable restrictions we have on individual liberties and freedom of movement that we have here in a heartbeat.

    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.
