Wasatch 23/24 Stoke Thread: Red Snake Coverage coming at you live from tgapp's fartba

Here's the map I go to for real time air quality data:

Sure can get nasty in these wind events.

Yeah, that one sits on a Trax train in the belly of the valley, super urban and along transportation routes. I like the localized readings that purple air gives.

brutal at snowbasin, little cat and wildcat only two lifts open. Called it after two runs. Snow was garbage and a wind layer of dirt on top of the snow. Hope tomorrow is better.

Yeah, the Trax/Bus monitors are questionable, but so are the ones from purple air. Look at the regulatory squares on the Mesowest map if you want to nitpick.

I know it’s TikTok but I’ve got a feeling bird tram isn’t supposed to hit the tower

Gotta log in to see it

Bird was fully on hold at 930 when we drove by, all lifts at Alta. Skiing was rough. Did not get buffed like we’d hoped and we boogied by 1145. Vibes to the apparent car off the road at 7 turns on the way down.

sorry all, this is my last post on the subject. We have all made our decisions RE air quality if we live in the SL Valley.

This is from the horse’s mouth for PurpleAir. These wind events are much more PM10 than PM2.5.


I tried to look into the KSL app’s source but their website is opaque and the link they have to the EPA 404s.

There's your PM 10.



I know Adrian, the founder of PurpleAir. I trust him and his data.

I have a PurpleAir monitor on my house.

todaly Alta feels like that one little slick of calm water behind the big exposed boulder in a class 5 rapid. maybe once-a-month windy but not once-a-decade windy. not the greatest skiing but the peeps on vacation are pretty stoked to still get a full day in while most of the state is on wind hold

[Lone Star]

I could delete or edit the above post and pray that only BobMc saw it but that wouldn't be any fun. I hope that tBatt can help me re-insert my foot into my mouth and share how boring this wind event was for some folks.

Lightning! Dang. Big graupel, then heavy small grained stuff, now real flakes. From the vantage point of the photo, if you can't see Collins lift, snowfall rate is 3+ inches an hour <3

[telefreewasatch]

Its snowing.

[NBABUCKS1]

yeah played today very wrong. 8 inches or so at snowbasin since 130ish. jealous of those who stuck it out, should have put more faith in the forcasting

just 'cause it didn't work out for you this time doesn't mean you made the wrong decision! most folks in the neighborhood who waited it out ended up getting sent home (lightning closures, etc) right when it was about to get good.

[ski_the_fraulein]

Damn lightning! Final 2 hrs at Brighton was shaping up for my extended family in town. Thought we earned it by getting up early and skiing the limited open terrain. Not to be, but boy was it nuking as we drove down!

Guessed wrong this time. Woodward was very fun and empty though so no tears

fantastic day at snowbasin today. patrol did a good job of getting jp spinning by 930 and no name around 1130 I think. Great snow and great skiing. nice to ski in the cold.

[Yukonrider]

The cirque traverse at the bird was in fine form today, pretty nasty up top, but once you made it across there were goods to be got!

[Jumper Bones]

Wow what a day

Spun laps on Condor at Canyons.

Sick day off sanctuary and hippie hill So deep in the protected trees

firing on most cylinders today. then the wind did its thing and it remained awesome. tomorrow

[Dantheman]

Anyone have half a pair of P18s lying around? First lost ski in over a decade today.

The Bird was good skiing but definitely not the best day of the season. Pretty variable and the deep stuff was a little upside down and wind affected. Reg traverse was pretty sporty.

I have a whole pair you can have but they have brakes for race skis.

[jtran10]

Not the most pleasant day but the good turns were really good
