Only need 20 more 18" storms to get to average. 87" for ytd on Jan. 21 is fucked! Watch out for forest garbage, tips up!

Bump!

Windy as fuck and no snow

**Skidog** · 02-01-2018, 07:12 AM

Nothing measurable for another 2 weeks in Utah. Way high temps too. This season likely won't recover unless we get a huge record breaking March. Oh well season 2017/2018 is the season that wasn't.

The drive up BCC is just getting depressing. It’s fucking barren up there.

**east or bust** · 02-01-2018, 08:01 AM

from the sounds of things you guys are having a comparable season to our '14/'15 back east.

glad I'm not missing much here in turd city

This is worse that 14/15 which is the next closest lows in 30 years. Difference there was that 14/15 had decent early base building snow, so the lean weeks were still better as coverage was better. This season is just abysmal

im sure you'll have plenty of fun coming from the "ice coast" so there is that, but i wouldnt expect any blower pow days this trip....I think there realistically has been 6 "pow" days this season in Utah, most being a foot to slightly over a foot. couple of those were in December when the base was scary low. I felt my first tinge of jealousy last week when we had a huge 10" "dump". The snow looked super light and there is a semi decent base in most places..this year just sucks.

I'm hoping for a freeze/thaw to help heal the snowpack so we can at least play on steeper slopes. At least it seems like people are getting away with it on south faces, I know I had a good day on s.superior earlier this week, quiet AF up there too which is always nice

If the current forecast holds it won't get below freezing in the valley for another two weeks at least. That's insane. Air quality forecast looks good, though. Clear, warm and non-inverted beats clear, cold and smoggy I suppose.

yeah thankfully no inversions, but yeah....fucking crazy temps...not even just slightly high, like nearly 20 degrees higher than normal...really depressing.

On the bright side, the weather looks really good for some Southern Utah canyoneering trips. If the weather holds, I’ll probably run down there next weekend.

I’m not sure. Had east coast resorts received 140” of snow with 65” bases as of 2/1 that winter? If so, then yes, this winter in Utah is just like the east coast winter of ‘14-‘15.

One man’s whatever is another man’s wow...

No doubt. But, I've already bailed to the desert once, bought a pass that I've barely broke even on, and the kiddo just turned 8 and needs ski days.

i don’t know what that has to do with anything, the stake was at 65” that year on feb 1 though.

back on track, we received a scant 12” of new snow in january and were hammered by two crippling rains followed by sub zero cold. is this the right place to file a complaint?

It has to do with whether this winter in Utah is similar to the ‘14-‘15 winter on the east coast. Duh.

I was under the impression that a 65” base was good for most eastern resorts, no?

For instance, according to MRG’s website, as of today they have received a TOTAL of 56”-82” of snow this winter.

Like I said, one man’s whatever is another man’s wow.

Yeah, it is what it is. Will definitely have a good time. One guy flying in from Truckee another guy coming in from Colorado and then three of us from NH meeting the three that live in Park City. We're all from the same hometown, so it should be a good shitshow.

Please give daily updates to resorts you will ski. Some might want to avoid a mob like that

it’s just apples and oranges man. stowe has received 146 on the year but the surface locally reminds me of the smear of poured concrete out of the back of the of the cement mixers on bushwick ave and i want to complain about it.
