Buses that make stops at the LCC Park and Ride, then 2-3 at Snowbird before reaching Alta are definitely undesirable. Alta-only buses would be great. I'd try to use them from time to time I think.

TGR flick at red butte tonight! I'll be there with Phall and some others. Anyone else?

It was monsooning pretty hard from St. George up to Cedar City when I drove through last night at like 10PM. Surprised it was only 70 degrees at that hour too

looks like I saved $99 by buying in early June instead of early September :fmicon:

Alta pass prices apparently go up on 6/6 fyi. Just bought mine this afternoon. Why so soon! :cussing:

Wildcat replacement will allow for much easier access to N facing terrain during high pressure, but will lead to the Ho getting tracked out in 1.5 runs rather than 3-4.

Flora lift is kind of...

Fun stretch of afternoon dust on crust > deep turns > sidestepping for deep turns > highboy

Can't believe it's mid-April already :(

3-6 inches of snow, 1-2 inches of water. lol

high N facing still pretty creamy in the trees, low angle yesterday PM. Bit of a breakable crust about 1-2" down on anything else.

Looked like the highest elevations were getting a bit scoured by...

High, low angle north facing this AM was super silky. Most everything else was not.

Where was the snow line yesterday? Thinking of heading up at some point today.

About a month ago or so they were talking May 7th, so yea wouldn't be surprised if they close really early this year.

Thought about heading up this morning for a couple backsides and then saw the traffic from 9400 backed up all the way to the wasatch light. No thanks.

Think I rode the lift with you yesterday dude! Make it back to work? Hope you had an awesome rest of the day.

alta roll call saturday:
the entire mountain collective

The little shot of 3-6 inches or whatever daytime tomorrow should help keep turns with the big storm OFF the crust at least.

Like someone else said everything steep naturalled (3rds) or slid during bombing, and the 1.5-2 feet of heavier snow was almost unturnable on a lot of terrain that didn't slide. Lines definitely were...

Exactly this. For how cold it was I was surprised actually. Still not a bad day skiing almost 2 feet of snow!

Disappointed that I didn't hit any rocks during my lunchtime session today

In skidog's case all skis are collectibles actually :fm:

Old news at this point after the bakeage we're now in, but S and SW high elevation skied great on 1/26, but lap 2 was already getting heavier than the first at around 1PM. Tons of wind transport to N...

I'm all for long-term transit solutions, regardless of snowfall. People will still be recreating up there regardless.

I wrote a research paper in college on this same exact topic 10 years ago,...

In 40 years nobody is going to be skiing in Utah

skidog doesn't even go up lcc in the winter :FIREdevil:fm::FIREdevil

The Backside rope drop yesterday was definitely unexpected, and very appreciated. Got 2 untracked Backsides before venturing out the very long traverse to Greeley Hill/North Rus area for another 2.

:yourock:

Some untracked leftovers this AM. Shoulder, lower Wildcat liftline (really??) all skiing well still, with plenty of untracked snow to get my powder fix before that window shuts.

Hoping for a backside rope drop tomorrow

Was stuck behind one of those trucks Saturday AM, like 8:45 or 9 AM. Everyone was passing wherever they could (over double yellows mostly), which could definitely lead to some issues once the canyon...

When it's December and most recent page of Wasatch thread has fishing...
