Flying out tomorrow, staying in Soli village. I believe the plan is to split time between Solitude/Alta.

Looks like the ridge is doing alright, would love to take a hike at some time during my stay.

maroon jacket , grey pants , either on SFB's or funky pair of praxis

skied a couple runs off cardiac ridge this morning. some crossloading up high right off the ridge, no sign of wind affect once you got a little lower. manageable hazards and exceptional skiing.

tomorrow... maybe head somewhere else. i counted 14 people on the skinner behind us when we were ripping skins on our second lap.

What was up with all that white fluffy shit today? It took a few laps to remember how to ski it.

**Bromontana** · 03-02-2015, 12:01 AM

Pretty day out in LCC when the clouds broke, an inch or so fell with some graupel mixed in. Got shut down a bit but still enjoyed some good turns. Deeper than expected.

About as clear as we got it up high

Saw StraightChuter in the trees on the way down. Being pretty tired and listening to music, all I could mutter was "uh-annndrewww?" That awkward guy who's not in the best shape - would be me

Cheers

#drive 40 miles to ski

**Canada1** · 03-02-2015, 07:25 AM

Sometimes I love living here!! Right now is one of those times. Good snow on the ground and the storm track lining up to bring more!

**buttahflake** · 03-02-2015, 07:36 AM

The bird way under reported totals. Felt like 10-12 of medium density goodness. It's bony and firm underneath, but that's typical for east coasters. Next one looks $$$!

The future sez I will call in sick tomorrow.

Storm riding this afternoon was tit's!
It's nuking in the LCC right now.
Can't wait for tomorrow.

**east or bust** · 03-02-2015, 06:29 PM

Things are definitely going nuclear in BCC as well. Felt like I had the mountain to myself today.

Demo'd 117 automatics, the epitome of the perfect ski for me in today's conditions. Tomorrow should be real good given the setup snow today.

**skifishbum** · 03-02-2015, 09:10 PM
