The only timely solution to canyon cluster is to drastically increase bus service, while decreasing cars in the canyon. OBVIOUS for sure. A high toll at the mouth, for, say, less than 4 occupants per...

A bit annoying, certainly, like many confident self promoting people. Early on she was mentored by the Queen of Extreme. She's got more moxie than many posters here. Many of you wish you could...

Great farming on Superior for a change!

My favorite hilarious April Fools prank By SSP: they sent ASP a great box of donuts as a gift.
Then, they sent a photo of said donuts clenched in the butt cheeks of SSP. Photo used to be posted in...

Did you hear the one about the dick who exited the tram on Hidden Peak, and couldn't be bothered to go inside to the rest room?

Good one Jimmy. I recall running into you and John on the West Twin when he was about 8 years old. You both had already been up Superior that morning.
And Queen "Elmer!" Stories within stories...

Well I'm just gonna say it. This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever heard about BC decision justification. Guess he's never been buried, and certainly not humbled yet. Apparently.

I've had fair service from this shop in Holladay, they have an A+ BBB rating and many good reviews. 4736 Holladay Blvd. 801-278-7611 Good luck, no fun losing your transmission on a trip.

Beautiful story of a lover of the mountains and the family and friends who love him. RIP

Cautiously admiring that hair ball run down Little Chute. Jeezus. Anyone who's been there on a good day has to appreciate that commitment.
I always wonder how far people will push it for instant...

Desperation skiing: It's a little early to ruin a season.

Well, I can't resist this conversation. Someone will be butthurt.
These comments concern mostly skiing and riding only, not other "amenities" like food and lodging, where DV is clear winner....

Early days in LCC were pretty romantic and more exciting than many bargained for.
One "special" memory is of Bird employee housing bunkers in the old Plaza restaurant space, current Rendezvous. Two...

What "I think I remember" about Valerie's. A small crowd of employees and guests had been evacuated to the Center and we gathered on the plaza to watch patrol shoot Superior. A big dust cloud came...

From early 70's, someone here can tell the story. Probably slightly pre dates TFW, but I bet he can do justice to the tale.

This thoughtful insightful conversation may inspire many to be mindful of "we don't know what we don't know," even when rolling the dice on a familiar table, especially with many more players in the...

Thanks all for the vivid trip reports of low tide adventuring in this brave new world. Strong work everyone!

All the new snow and spectacular skiing, and back to whining already? It's always good skiing for good skiers. Play on.

Patience Rockhoppers. Hopefully a long winter is ahead and we'll make the most of whatever it is!

Alta is always better in a low tide December, and before it opens, and after it closes. December 18th parking changes may bring a change of tune?
And patience, Rockhoppers. A long and wonderful...

A lot of thoughtful commentary here and quite entertaining. My one takeaway is that figuring out how to get more cars up the canyons [parking garages and expanded lots] is oxymoronic. Too many cars...

Just after noon on right Reg at the Bird was a sweet surprise. No one had been over to the pucker brush signline, and the perfectly smooth bulletproof had softened into virgin corn really as good as...

Distant lurker from the Wasatch here. Thanks for the trip reports and stoke! Hope Mother Nature nourishes us with a righteous winter and snowpack.

RIGHT!

Just a conversation piece and meaning no disrespect of the erudite comments. Changes are occurring exponentially and unpredictably. Drought and warming, more weather extremes, exceedingly crappy air,...

What TFW says, simple and to the point. Many of us are lucky to have lived our slice of the "ski bum" dream in LCC. Sadly it's just plain over, accelerated exponentially by Covid's consequences....

LUDDITES UNITE!!!

On another note; at the bottom of Phone 3 shot at Snowbird, there's a decent looking yellow 180cm. Soul 7 sticking in the snow. Might be in Public Safety by now.

An Ikonic fairy tale of sorts: Last year I activated the Ikon base purchased with my Bird pass, on the deadline date. The site accepted my last minute request to upgrade to full Ikon at that time....

SO great! And perfect music.

Snowboarders could bring soul back to Alta

Heard the ‘Ru had a “heart event.” Wishing him a strong recovery!
Some stoke from west: found a gem of a “locals” ski area south of Reno, “Mt. Rose.”
Higher base (8200) than Squaw, snow was so much...

Beautiful edit

Nice, a little levity amidst the almost stoke.

Another "teachable" episode

It rimed, rained, whatever, at Snowbasin today. Various thickness depending on aspect. Certainly skiable.
Regarding the marvelous Miss U...she's been quite entertaining since she exploded on the...

Good one, "over terraining" your kid! She must be the youngest, Junior the oldest.

Thanks for your insights and especially your on scene reports Jimmy! Much appreciated!!

Ok, sports fans, have you seen this?

Two more deaths in Colorado today; solo snowboarder who deployed an airbag; snowmobiler buried under his sled. RIP

Concisely put. Perhaps this conversation will open up willingness for thoughtful interaction on the hill. Specifically, the listening side. "Mentoring" where the skin meets the skinner, outside...

Don't give up! We're finally building a snowpack, it WILL get better.

Not Dfinn, and not wishing to call out a particular party. S facing and Superior can be skied all day long this season, so far... As much as we love to share the stoke, even the milder stoke shots...

"Someone" keeps posting the pictures of lines they are getting away with. It might be time to keep our Gnarliness to ourselves. It can't be helping.

What an adventurous marriage, TFW. Your wife IS a saint, and your kids saved your life. You KNOW you're lucky.

Final report of recent Colorado fatal accident
Three victims, buried "9, 11, and 20 feet deep."

Well articulated.

Unpredictability of the snowpack compounded by the unpredictability of riders above. Preliminary reports suggest the slide was triggered by a party on the ridge {?} who may or may not have been aware...
