It is showing nearly constant precipitation for northern Utah over the next 16 hours, and likely longer into early tomorrow morning.

Skied well at Brighton today. Lot of storm slabs already even inbounds under the lifts. Snowing steady. Nice day with skiATL and my wife.

Tomorrow at the Bird should be pretty nice. Today wasn't too bad either. The wind was howling at the top but there was plenty of fresh to be found. I'm still trying to get in season shape, jello legs by 2 today. The Cirque Traverse is fat, surprisingly so.

Look at a map, its not that hard to figure out I've done it from PC to LCC and back, but not the other way around. Probably a little harder these days with resort expansion on the wasatch back and a different uphill policy at brighton than when I did it.
from LCC, you won't want to go any lower in BCC than silver fork. Mill F will get you into PCMR proper, Bear Trap will get you into Canyons with a little ridge walking to the west.
From PC, we went up from iron mountain TH and then traversed iron mountain (called pioneer ridge on PCMR trail maps) till we could drop into BCC. went up brighton to twin lakes pass.
little known fact: back in the day, people would tour up thaynes canyon to get up to brighton to go skiing, staying at FS cabins that were vacant during the winters.

WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 16-17
Could do Silver > up Willow to USA bowl to that ridge and drop Jupiter. Idk. I asked this question last year and was successfully convinced that there were cooler inter-canyon tours to do.

we went early to avoid any PCMR conflicts, but there wasn't a gondola over that mountain back then. once on pioneer ridge, no one will bother you. we also went uphill through brighton during operating hours which I think is a no-no now, but I think you can scoot the boundaries by going up from silver lake and using the sol-bright trail for a brief, not highly visible moment.
when we did it we were trying to ski all the central wasatch resorts (minus deer valley and snowbird) by human power only as a two person protest to ski link. We ended up bailing on skiing all the way down to Alta and then bailed on exiting through the canyons for logistics when we got back to the pc ridgeline.
I think its a pretty cool tour at the time. Its got a nice old school feel since thaynes canyon from pc was the way people got up to brighton in the winter back in the day. Are there better inter-canyon tours for skiing? you bet. would I do it again? eh.... maybe? But skiing from PC to LCC and back in a day is pretty cool. People pay to do that tour one way all winter long with lifts.

^^^ For real. Call it sacrilege but I thought that was so much better than my first and second runs of the day despite the un-tracked pow day phenomenon. The bonus on top was the fact that the normal traverse wasnt that bad so you didn't really have to slow down for it.
