Here to confirm Heather Meadows doesn't have snow and Baker is still flat.

Viva la Nina!

I remember reading in Alta's master plan they were going to work on the Ballroom traverse but reading around the website I found this:

"The High Traverse Project
As part of a two-year process, a...

Can attest the dude loves skiing.
The 3 Million feet (and counting) did include some damn good turns on fun terrain.

Rode it once. Very hard to time with the operating schedule and having enough base.
Unfortunately they were robbed a few months back but hopefully they can still run this season.

Been to about ~125 in the Mountain West.
Getting harder and harder to find the motivation to seek out the tiny places but it's never been a race. FYI Lee's Hill is more fun than Keystone.

This is the way.
I went on a ski bum budget in 2022, besides the $800 flight and a couple splurges on day tickets it was relatively inexpensive for lodging/food.

All time today for last gas on the spring pass.
Place was packed, but the atmosphere was too good to care.

Bummed to see T-Line Summer pass went up 40%, might be a dealbreaker.
Summer pass is...

Thanks for the stoke TFT! The cycle totally delivered.

Making the seasonal migration over from the Wasatch thread, happy to be home.

Sliding on snow is fun.
Thanks all who bring stoke and TFW for the wisdom.
See you on first chair. Ask for change.

You'll never know unless you go....

Would you put a lift up Highlands bowl?
Open the patrol lift to public up the Ridge at Bridger?


I came to rant about "proposed mountain improvements".
Losing RS at JHMR to inbounds skiing...

Never needed a lift to get there... So it's an improvement for those unwilling to hike?

It like when Texans ask why you have to hike to reach West Basin or Highline.

I will always take...

So many examples come to mind.
"Hey we built a new lift to enhance the customer experience..."
Meanwhile the stash is blown out and prices/crowds go up to pay for the $$$ lift.

Excellent...

First time for everything I guess.... even breaking Interlodge.
Opening turns down Hi Boy well worth the 15 minutes packed like sardines in the GMD.

Ex-steamboat resident. 18-19 was a sad transition when IKON came to town and gondi lines grew out of control.
Nothing better than deep cold days waking up to a foot plus overnight and living within...

Just because you're a local doesn't mean you're not a beater too.

So good! Big thanks to ASP for telling the upper gate crashers to beat it.

Skinner set over the hoods of employee cars at Alta.

I was trying to figure out what was going on with that too. They let a sit-ski load before everyone? Then that group couldn't get past the RIFD and you guys got held back?

I've been really missing...

Fixed it for ya.

RIP Charlie Toups. A story well worth reading if you're not familiar.

Before Epic/IKON Passes, High speed quads, and paid beach parking; life was real good at the Basin.
Some of the best days...

Long time lurker here, so thanks for the rad thread!
Getting beyond stoked for my first Southern Hemi trip in August.
