Started out on Wildcat. Took a number of runs to the west near the Snowbird boundary. Not bottomless, but definitely a solid foot of fresh. Not the 3% dry Utah snow we all know love but more like a California powder -- a little on the heavier side. Still, quite nice. I took about 4-5 runs on Wildcat. It went pretty quickly IMO.
Kept looking over at Collins for the line to die down -- never really seemed to die down. Even Wildcat was long -- 10 minutes wait from the back. Longest lines I've seen all season, easily. The singles line for Collins was longer than I've ever seen it. Truly incredible.
Was hoping I"d see the gate over for Westward Ho, but nevertheless it never opened. I wanted to get over to Supreme to ski Catherines but didnt want to wait in the Collins line so I took the rope tow to Albion Lift. 5 minute wait on Albion which is unheard of.....looked over at Sugarloaf lift and it was packed......decided to take Cecret to Supreme Lift. Supreme lift was a s* show.........I can't stand lines........turned back and went up Sugarloaf.
Took Sugarloaf to Glory Hole. GLory hole skied quite nicely -- although that was it. There were some slim pickens on the Backside but......not too much to speak of. Skiied all the way down to Albion again.
Albion to Sugarloaf to Mineral Basin. Could not believe there was a line at Baldy -- I dont think I've ever seen a line on Baldy ever. Didn't want to touch Mineral Basin with a 10 foot pole. Line was packed.
Went over to Collins and got some fairly nice lines off of the high T. Did a few laps and decided to call it a day at around 1:15.
I know Admin wasn't calling for a shit show.......but it certainly was a shit show IMO. Cars were lined on LCC ........I heard there was an issue getting up the canyon and took some folks >2 hrs from Park City. I seemed to miss it.
By the time 1:15 rolled around it was getting quite windy (40 mph gusts) and very flat light. I saw the full parking lot and cars lined up on LCC and decided I didnt want a Big Bear type of experience so I jetted. I definitely think the red snake will appear at 4 pm.
Looking forward to storm riding tomorrow...........
