    Anyone been riding Brighton lately? Been there for a couple Saturday's this December and these reservations are quite strange. They say the parking is fully reserved but its now been 3 weeks where I...

    Geez that is tough. Glad he is ok. I got younger kids who aren't quite sending it like yours yet and I am always worried some jerry is gonna come in hot at 40mph and crush one of them.

    Kids and me got a good first day on Saturday at Brighton. A little cold, but the kids did great. I was skiing on my atomic 120 hawk boots which while not true resort boots did surprisingly well. Lot...

    Looks like I'll be heading up on Brighton on Saturday with the kids and won't move my reservation to a further week out. Going to play it safe and get into the mouth of the canyon before 7....

    Anyone have updates on BCC? Got a Brighton season pass and skipped out on last weekend due to the lack of lifts. Looks like there are only 3 lifts right now (snake/majestic/explorer). Anyone know if...

    I was going up with the 7 year old around 1:45 and ran into a pause in traffic. After the first traffic update from the twitter alerts, I turned around and took the family sledding. Prayers for the...

    Ikon Pass here and 4th season as a local. I enjoy skiing powder but damn, those were some clown level crowds in BCC/LCC. I live close to mouth of BCC and decided to go to DV to escape the crowds and...

    Ikon here. I saw the trail report from Solitude and knew that it was a waste of time. Went to Deer Valley for the second week in a row and had a good time on some soft groomers. My goal is to utilize...

    Going to hit up Deer Valley Tomorrow. I am on Ikon and Solitude Doesn't Open up until the 7th and I don't feel like using my 2nd of 5 alta/bird days for a Saturday WROD. I tried going to Brighton...

    Got my laps in at Solitude for the close of business. Everything was not tracked out and skied really well, fairly soft and fun turns.

    Did my first day with the kiddos (4&6) yesterday at Solitude. Both girls did great and I am excited to see where they go this year. Might head up for some laps at solitude after Church. Got about an...

    Snowbird looked dreamy coming back down from Alta. Obviously, that's because no one is riding on the many avalanche routes they have. Yeah, no need to rush to get things open for late November riding.
  13. Alta was great today for day #2 of the season....

    Alta was great today for day #2 of the season. Skied Sunnyside while waiting for Collins and wildcat to open. Did a two runs on Sugarloaf, then finished the day out on Collins. Left by 12 or so. This...

    Made it up to Alta. Took about 45 min from cottonwood heights. Road was a bit sketch at the top. Definitely think I need to get some snow tires. Good all seasons and 4wd isn't enough. I have chains...

    Holy eff. Sorry guys. I got 7 runs in in about 2 hours (riding solo) from open to 11 am at the Multitude. Driving up and down was no problem (25 min both ways) as the blizzard started right when I...

    While people bemoan the canyon crawl, I do think its important to remember that it is a difficult problem to solve. The traffic is only really bad on Saturday, Holidays, and unknown sporadic powder...

    Oh well. Ill be damned if some greedy parking fee is going to keep me from skiing. Definitely changes the decision calculus for 20-21 season pass decision though.

    This kind of irks me. I just hope this deters people from coming to the mountain a bit. Would be better if they had an automated rolling system in the canyons. That won't really be possible until...
  19. I have an ikon pass after a few years at...

    I have an ikon pass after a few years at Brighton. Should I pony up money for parking or just park on the road? I always get up to the mountain an hour before opening and avoid the canyon crap show.
  20. Finally someone got the message. Definitely...

    Finally someone got the message. Definitely lifted the spirit to see all the white in Upper Bells Canyon on the drive home from work. Snowbird posted a nice shot of the tram as well.

    Weekend warrior here. Went to solitude on Saturday. Very good skiing in the morning. Also picked up my Ikon pass for solitude this summer. From talking with others on the lift, solitude will be an...

    Looks like 9 in since 4pm yesterday. Should be a great day. Heading up to Brighton for some Milly Laps. Purple coat, black petitor pros if you want to say hi.

    Saturday was absolutely incredible. Snow skied so well (ultra light and dry). Reports were like 8-10 but the previous days snow and lack of wind made it perfect. Did about three hours at Brighton...

    Only way to ensure they don't get stolen is to tuck them in under the covers. Sorry that that happened. I got sick last season and forgot to bring my gear in (unlocked car in a nice neighborhood)....

    Fun day today. Never had so much fun getting to the mountain. Put chains on all 4 tires for the first time. Turned my little RAV4 into a beast. Rescued a bro downtown and made it up to Brighton by 9....

    I might want to throw some chains on. I'm in the valley but it looks like 12 in over night. Snowbird reporting 17 since 4pm. Still snowing heavily with the new flow in control.

    Because of the wind expected, going to pass on tomorrow (get some chores done) and try to get some night powder skiing in on Tuesday. Bring bulltet proof gear if your heading up tomorrow.

    I'm still only on my second season out here. I skied almost from the open to 4 pm at Brighton. It was hands down my best day so far. Parking lot was empty with the closures in the canyon. Skiing was...

    Great now the plow is trying to come up the other lane.... BCC still on standby

    My guess is that in and around s turn it's effectively one lane. Seems like we get moving whenever down canyon cars come through

    Total shit show. At storm mountain and it's stand still.
  42. So Monday is shaping up to be a straight up...

    So Monday is shaping up to be a straight up blizzard. What time should I be at the mouth of bcc if I plan on getting to Brighton with time to spare before opening? 7 am?

    Seconded that. Just for the record, the lines at Brighton we're twice as long.

    Need some info. Hitting Brighton tomorrow. Is it deep enough and is there enough leftover to justify the big woods (120 in the middle) or should I stay with old faithful tool in the quiver (108).

    Day was absolutely epic. Went up to my usual spot at Brighton. Decided to change things up and start on Great Western. Had some epic lines there and on snake. Found myself and bro on Milly for the...

    Anyone know the details of the 60 year old thatsied at Brighton last week? I heard he avoided a border and then ran into a tree? Any info on the location where it happened. Bit scary as I and my kids...

    The thing kind of just mentioned without digging further into is that the lake has receded almost entirely to increased diversions and human use.

    That is helpful. Will definitely give that a try. Lately I have been 90/10 unless skiing powder in which case I go for 50/50. Will be so pumped if this is all from bad form. Less injuries plus better...
