Utah's biggest storm of the season?
- Thread starter Admin
- Start date
Why would someone be skiing backcountry or in a closed ski area today? Given the massive crowds in admin's pics from Sunday, I would think you spoiled Utards could handle midweek lift service today.
An upside of all that DV real estate development? Road shuttle pow after the area closes? :lol:
Shouldn't Tony be speculating about where Admin should ski tomorrow?
PCMR, Brighton, or wait for the interlodge to clear? :dead horse:

I enjoyed an amazing amount of POW at Alta today. It was already deep as I started my day (around 11:00 AM) and it continued to snow so hard that my tracks were actually filling in between runs. A friend of mine from the east has been checking conditions and he called me this AM to ask if I would pick him up at the airport Thursday. I said: "sure, so long as you arrive after dark tomorrow." Can't wait to see conditions on thursday! \

o p.m. headed for keyhole to the bird . hiked up the shoulder abit higher than normal to get to keyhole gate . dropped down through the trees from the ridge into keyhole proper two patrol tracks & mine thigh deep untracked snowbird must have just opened keyhole . skied eagles nest first run untracked to the rope tow. ya mid week lift serviced i suppose is ok when you get the crowd & snow combo balanced. ow and they were walk on trams while i was there.

Hardly. Obviously no crowd issues at this time of year, and the places outside LCC are either closed or have cut back lifts/terrain severely. Only an extended road closure should keep anyone out of LCC.
With regard to Alta vs. Snowbird, those with Altabird passes should keep their eyes peeled for terrain openings, as BobbyD demonstrated today.

Tons more people yesterday too, at least more than alta which = tracked out even faster.
I'd say bobbyD and I got at least 5 pretty much untracked runs before you had to go "hunting".
With the lighter density of the stuff thats supposed to fall today and tomorrow I really hope it adds up otherwise you will be finding the bottom and hitting the tracks from yesterday. Yesterday was very "maritime snow".
Maybe ill sneak out again, but I doubt it. Sat/Sun for SURE!!

Cars were parked on the bypass road VERY far above the heli port when I left at 1:30. Alta lot was not even full at that time.
When BobbyD and I made our first runs the Alta lot wasn't even half full. I found that odd personally, but I wasnt complaining.

Agreed. I was bummed when the sky brightened this a.m. and I saw a distinct lack of cloud cover. In fact I nearly switched my day off for today. But for now it looks like enough snow will likely fall this afternoon into tomorrow morning that all should be well for a powder morning on Friday. Fingers crossed!
