In the 2006-2009 years I used to fly out of LA to SLC maybe 5+ times a seasaon on a Friday and home on a Sunday night. We'd stay in Cottonwood heights or Sandy and drive up no problem, even on powder days. Obviously those days are gone and I've got a family now. When I go, either with friends...

Looks like you wouldn’t need a snorkel. Good for base building.

Final thoughts on the trip were it was a good call. The skiing on the upper mountain, while limited was great Some good short steep runs on the north face and lots of soft snow and lightly tracked powder. I will say that is a steep mountain top to bottom, very very little green terrain which...

The last two days were powder days with the snow line being just below the bottom of Chair 6, Glacier Express. It wasn’t ideal since my 7year isn’t quite ready to ski powder in a whiteout or super flat light he was happy skiing the lower mountain even in the rain 🤷‍♂️. My 9 year old was able to...

I’ll add more but I agree with much of what you guys said. Definitely not a lot of beginner, which is ok for us now. Lots of intermediate doesn’t seem open and the top was difficult with flat light a lot of the day. It was fun, kids had fun. I’ll get a chance to ski the north face tomorrow...

We booked it sorta on a whim without thinking too much, just wanted to go somewhere and it worked out pretty well, surpsingly easy to get there, 3 hours to Seattle and then 3 more to Anchorage, not horrible and good flight times. We were lucky that my kids in LAUSD have the week after new year...

We did. Booked Jackson Hole in June and even bought the better Ikon pass to go there but luckily the hotel was sold after we booked and changed names so they allowed us to cancel inside the 14 day window at just a $50 cost. JHMR refunded our private lesson bookings ($$$$$) and we changed our...

Yeah it definitely seems like a smaller place. It'll be good skiing hopefully and something pretty different. 4 days seemed like a lot but the sun is only up 1015-330 so I think it'll keep us busy.

We leave on Sunday, skiing Monday through Thursday. Should be an adventure.

We are on the ikon pass so I can’t go anyway but I don’t see where the weather shows any real snow in the forecast. NWS and Open Snow both show maybe an inch or so coming in the next week and only like 5 inches in the past week, which is why I canceled Jackson hole. Looking like snow for...

We booked it. We are on the west coast so it’s a much longer trip to Europe. We considered Japan before but not this time.

We had a trip to Jackson Hole booked for months but given conditions we're going to cancel. I was bascially able to get all the money back so all good. We want to ski as the kids have off the whole week after new years. Thoughts on Alyeska? Seems like lots of snow there, reasonable lodging...

Good call. I probably will do that. I actually just got a claim approved from my chase sapphire card for the trip we had to change because of illness over presidents weekend. I wouldn’t call it easy, they asked for a lot, which was fine, but kept saying they needed more , even though I sent it...

I was at the Cliff too, we were supposed to leave on Tuesday so for Tuesday and Wednesday night they charged us 50%. I'm told they didn't charge anyone for Thursday night, everyone was ready to go that day and then the wet slide got everyone interlodged again, I think they felt bad. Plus by...

Thanks for asking! We took the first shuttle out of the canyon we could on Friday at 6am. Ended up flying to Long Beach vs LAX since we had previously booked a flight that evening thinking later was better. Looking back, we had a great trip on Sat-Mon, then adventure (that wasn’t cheap with...

We got evacuated back to our hotel….oddly it’s a relief to be here after being stuck in the lodge with a closed restaurant. They initially told us it would be hours while they mitigated with the heli in small sections above us. Took those on the mountain and walk from the snowbird center. It...

Had a few good hours of skiing now locked in Creekside after an avalanche crossed the road and reached Chickadee. We are never going home. Article with video

They finally let us out , straight line only, at like 3pm today since 9pm on Monday. Hopefully late afternoon road opening is the word. Obviously missed our flight on Tuesday. I feel better so tomorrow should be another fun country club day. Patrollers said the sun got to the snow so it’s not...

Thanks. Got some meds, hopefully good to leave tomorrow IF the road opens. Both ski resorts closed. no action shots but a few empty lifts on a powder day.

Had a full day country club day at snowbird yesterday. Pretty amazing, rode little cloud with literally no one on it besides me. Flight is this afternoon but road hasn’t been open since Sunday and they don’t expect it to open today. Unfortunately I seem to have caught something, strep throat I...
