Today was Snowbird’s 53rd birthday!
I don’t have a lot to say really. People from Brisbane are happy to be on a mountain and Snowbird is some mountain even at extremely low tide.
The kids haven’t been on snow since January 2023 in France. It’s like riding a bike I guess. The local’s probably decided it wasn’t worth skiing. We skied onto every lift.

Emily on my old Rustler 9s. She loves them.

We rode every lift open including the tram, Gadzoom, Mid Gad, Wilbere, Peruvian. The top of the tram was extreme low vis so we picked our way down Regulator Johnson which was actually ungroomed despite being labelled groomed.
The best snow was in the gullies beside the main thoroughfares. Windblown snow I guess.
A couple of random pics below.

Probably true. And the big tourist crunch doesn't start until Dec. 26. I skied one day at Snowbird during that 1986-87 Christmas Week. You couldn't get down the lower third of the mountain without hitting some rocks.
