I've been backcountry skiing since 1991 and that still describes me.Quote:

Snowbird announced their parking system plans. Preferred parking pass for the win!
heh! i don't have a dog in this fight but i am so glad that they are treating you well. you paid for it, afterall, and it seems like a fair system for preferred parkers. good for you!!Quote:

I'm thinking between road parking and alta FCFS, we will be able to ski the days we want. It's just a matter of it being more of a pain some days....
Jk, looks like its Alta or the Hellscape that UTA will be this year:Quote:

All Snowbird parking lots, including the Bypass road. Due to limited terrain and lifts, we do not anticipate allowing parking along the side of SR-210 during the early-season.
Drop-Off/Pick-Up
Reservations are not needed if you are only dropping off or picking up. 5-minute drop-offs will be available at the Snowbird Center and Creekside.
So I'm confused. Is the parking reservation system only open to snowbird passholders or also for Ikon people?
Its for everyone. You can't park at Snowbird without a reservation.Quote:

Queue up building a black market for selling our reserved spots on peak days.
I'm dropping people off for $50 a pop on pow days in a cattle truck.Quote:

Nice work. If they’re open for more than 30 days that is. Getting depressed about the chances of an actual season.

Is there a WROD to the top, or is it literally 300' of skiable snow?
I saw a strava of a guy repeatedly lapping what appeared to be ~500' (and he would 100% have skied every available vertical foot) and he said it was melting fast and they were not making snow due to temps, fwiw. Have not had the motivation to go look for myself.Quote:

Sounds like skiing will wait another week or two.
The Wasatch Weather Weenie guys called it the Collins Glacier, made me laugh. The fact that it's already melting away makes it a great symbol of the times.Quote:
