Alta has announced that the 2017 -2018 season will be extended three weekends, conditions permitting. The last regular day will be April 15th and they will then be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday the next three weekends, last day will be Sunday May 6th. Alta had always had a three day bonus weekend after the regular closing day and in big snow years might add another three day weekend. Last season they did not have the additional three days and there were plenty of unhappy skiers especially when a big storm arrived. Snowbird was the only resort open and that was a shit show with enormous lift lines.
No info on what prompted this but there is a new General Manager, could he be more skier friendly?

hahahaha Mike Maughan, Alta's new general manager, doesn't even ski. He's an accountant, a pencil pusher and not a snow slider.
I think Alta's closing this year had more to do with the replacement of the supreme lift. I think its a dumb move to announce they'll be open those additional weekends in the fall before the season, before a single snowflake has fallen from the sky. i'd rather be surprised at the end of the season when they announce more weekends than disappointed at the end of the season when they have to take those weekends back due to low snow.

Let's all rejoice at the exit of weeks upon weeks of 90s. Bring on the snow!

This new timelapse webcam from the top of Hidden Peak Snowbird is beautiful. So crisp. There was even a rainbow (this morning at least).

Select the upper one and go fullscreen for the timelapse function.

Might be headed down SLC way this weekend. Seems like there will be some decent weather.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go for a nice long hike that hasn't been impacted too much by recent snow/moisture/mud? Probably be able to drive up to an hour each way if it helps find something scenic & dry.

How long is a long hike to you? I would expect the S facing stuff to melt out a bit

i ran up little black mountain this afternoon. 7.5ish miles, 2600 vert, not quite what you're looking for but you could extend the hike to lookout peak. plenty of trails around the university and avenues that will be dry by this next weekend, not too much snow on the top of little black mountain at 8000 feet. more at the same elevation in the central wasatch.

I think you can get all the way to grandview from little black, the whole foothills area has been great the last couple weeks

Best orthopedic surgeons in Salt Lake?

For what kind of orthopedic procedure? There are subspecialists for knees, shoulders, hands, etc.

Ok, really stupid question here.
Is there any reasonable place up high that has enough snow to ski? Not really looking for good skiing, just enough to satisfy October turns. Looks like we will have high pressure for the rest of the month, and driving 7-8 hours to Colorado to ski at Mary's glacier isn't the most ideal (same with skiing timp again).

In today’s post, wasatch weather weenies suggested going up towards Grand Targhee. They should get some snow tomorrow too. That’s a little closer than Colorado at least.

I would recommend driving somewhere...nothing in the wasatch worth it right now IMO.
