Wasatch This Saturday :(

I liked Icelantic better when he was telling Utards about their snow conditions from his vantage point along the New England coastline.
 
nope, no disease or hit over the head. just want to be a better icelanticskier. i like to think that i play well with others. i'd like treat others better as well. visiting the wasatch last week in a better frame of mind didn't hurt either. maybe i'll move back there for a winter or two. did i just say that?! yup, i did.

Snowbird currently reporting 1"; Tram temporarily closed (but Peruvian lift and tunnel open); web cams show 50' or less visibility; daytime possible snow forecast reduced to 4" - 8" from the earlier 6" - 10".
 
Skidog just texted me that it's snowing all the way to the base and they've gotten ~6" on top. Unfortunately I woke up this morning feeling like shit. ](*,)

It's 38F at the base and 31F at the top. Looking at the Snowtel water equivalents, well, I guess it can still be called snow.....

The phrase "Pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to disparage the subject for a fault or negative behavior that could equally be applied to him or her. In former times, cast iron pots and kettles were quickly blackened from the soot of the fire. The pot would then be hypocritical to insult the kettle's color, since both are black with soot.
 
So just got back from the Bird and lets just say the weather was extreme up on Hidden Peak. When we left at 3:00 there was about an inch of slush down at the base, but there was a nice 6-9 inches back in mineral basin and up on Silver fox. The snow was good when you could see. All in all if visibility was better we would have had much more fun. I didn't take the camera out today as the wind and wet snow would have destroyed that thing. Now back to NY for a week, lets hope we get some more snow in a week or two.
 
I wore a garbage bag skirt today. Made riding the lift a bit dryer. Won't be any good tomorrow, best sleep in!
 
sat. it rained at the very bottomof the bird. tow cable issues on the tramwith the rain water making the cable slip on the wheel. first tram borded with no issues skidog & i were on it. dropped behind the summit shak to little cloud. first run regulator untracked beauty. skied a mineral basin came back up to the summit went around the peak on the road. skidog noticed the tram stopped at tower four. that's when we should have hiked back to the gad valley side of the hill. but instead skied a primerose gully untracked down to chips flats down under peruivan chair for agood stretch out to palm beach for afew more untracked down across chips run out to broken leg chute nice. the whole time wondering about the tram.got to the bottom and learned of the issue. so snowbird hesitated for a few moments and opened peruivan chair & the basshole into mineral basin . no issue to the summit now . mineral the snow was a bit more full bodied than the north facing snow of little cloud bowl or the upper cirque. this morning it snowed for a couple of hours to the base of the mtn. same first run as yesterday except today you could see the clouds were not sitting in the hill. from the summit to reg. flats in four turns that's how smooth it was . gone critical speed right out of the gate! the snow stayed beautiful till about noon time. really noticed it turned to pancake batter when skidog & i came back from alta. another aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa++ tombstone best snow of the weekend was there. wildcat trees were fine just not as nice as tombstone. skied a west rustler about two thirty set off a minor slide nothing big. back to the bird and skied a couple more off little cloud chair.
 
I'm in NY on my annual vacation seeing the family. I've been here for about 5 hours and now more than ever after reading your post makes me want to go home. After skiing saturday I had a feeling sunday would be fun. I've been checking the radar and looks like you had some more snow this afternoon and more on the way tonight?
 
Skied little chute to dogleg about noon. Set some point slides off.

Killer day before the sun came out at about 1. Great great may skiing.

First runs down diagonal chutes this morning was righteous.

Skied the Birthday chutes yesterday sans avy in honor of the FTO crew.

Snow is good up high. Watch leeward slopes (NE-NW facing). We cornice dropped a few things and had it step down below to the crust below Saturday's events.
