    Brighton and Alta Feb 8-9 2020

    As per recommendations in the other thread, we decided to head to Brighton on Saturday as LCC was closed until Noon. We made it to Brighton around 10:30 AM. We didn't get an early start as we arrived late on Friday night. The traffic was pretty bad as well. We parked in the park and ride lot...

    What to ski at Alta on Feb 8th & 9th

    I had to cancel my Utah trip for April as Southwest canceled the evening flights and I didn't want to "commit" to that trip by buying a ticket on Delta. I have finalized an Alta trip with some former coworkers. We will ski on Sat Feb 8th and Sun Feb 9th. My wife and daughter won't be joining so...

    Beaver Mountain, Utah: Jan. 18-20, 2020

    Beaver Mountain Utah is a small ski resort in Northern Utah that I read about on Pugski and SkiUtah. The mountain has four lifts: Harry's Dream (1600'), Beaver Face (1200'), Marge's Triple (~1300), and Little Beaver (400'). You don't need to walk through a stupid base village, something I...

    Squaw Valley, CA Jan 4, 2020

    My first ski day of the season. We went to San Diego over the New Year so we didn't ski until now. This is a brief TR with some pictures.

    I thought this was interesting. From: https://skirose.com/season-pass-news/ I only plan on skiing on runs with majority natural snow for a few seasons but I'm curious to see how this compares to other resorts like Northstar, Heavenly, Squaw.

    Are there uncrowded ski areas with on-site lodging?

    This question came to my mind while reading the Brian Head thread. I think lots of lodging and crowds go hand in hand. But some locations are better than others. If I'm taking a week off in Feb (president's day week is school vacation for my daughter), What are the choices for ski resorts that...

    How to identify icy areas

What are the strategies to identify and guess where the icy surfaces? Here is my understanding, please let...

    Utah in April for Beginner/Low intermediate

    I'm looking for some advice on which locations in Utah would be good for me and my family from April 11 to 13, 2020. I have the Ikon base pass. Wife doesn't have the Ikon pass and I'm open to buying tickets. The snow in Tahoe was sticky in April and I fell down a couple of times or found it...

    Early season snowfall correlation for Western USA

    This question is more for Tony than anybody else but I think the discussion would be of interest to a lot of people. I'm curious which locations in the US have early season snow fall that's not correlated to snow fall in the Sierras. In other words, if the Sierras are having a bad snow year...
