You covered a lot of ground in your one day in LCC @tseeb
The firm-ish snow is made up for by the plentiful parking right now

Since I don't have the luxury of spending months within 10 minutes of skiing and never get enough, I make the most of my days.

I know this is a UT thread, but don't have time for full report from Sat. at Steamboat where it may be extra crowded due to Winter Wondergrass festival (that also happens at Palisades). I was 4th in singles gondola line and connected with guy from N. Carolina who is spending 5 weeks there. He skied fast; I made more turns in soft snow on groomers. SkiTracks said we had over 15K by 10:45, 22.5K when he quit at noon and I had 32.5K when I quit about 2. I mostly rode slow chairs, that still gave a lot of vertical, to avoid lines after noon.

Tseeb's cabin is about that close to Heavenly!

Your Copper report makes reference to surfaces being better there, which is not surprising considering Copper's altitude/exposure stats are elite while Steamboat is low in Colorado context with plurality SW exposure.

We are going to I-70 Colorado after Iron Blosam but likely a day or two at Steamboat first.
