Alta skied great this morning. Could feel the bottom most places but it felt great to make some trenches again after working the past few days.
Canyon was quite a mess around 1230-1. Several slideoffs and a nasty head on between a parked ambulance and a car. Was kind of surprised (but not really) that they weren't checking cars/tires this AM.

^ They need to read both the “ why your suv sucks in the snow” and “ recommend me snow tires” thread.

WASATCH STOKE, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS, AND ASSORTED DRIVAL 18-19
I came up behind a 70’s era Volkswagen Beetle at Wasatch Blvd and the BCC first thing this morning. He fishtailed as he accelerated away from the light. I followed him all the way to LCC thinking there’s no way this idiot will try to go up and no way the UPD will let him.
Sure enough, no officer and dude drove right up the LCC past the flashing sign.
Came down at 1:00 and it was red snaked pretty much to the A gate. Drove by the accident(s) in pics above.

To be honest, so much of all this could be solved if they actually enforced the snowtire/chain laws effectively. Seems as simple as just putting a UPD officer at the mouth of the canyon inspecting tires or seeing if chains are installed.
The only time I've actually been country clubbed was not due to an avalanche hitting the road, but because a Honda Accord spun around in a corner and blocked the road.

UHP was posted up just before rock choke in BCC on Saturday. Dude in POS 96’ Toyota 2wd behind me made it. So much for checking cars/tires.
Housework all day and no ski. But snowed all day at 7,000’ Summit Park. Looks good out. Winters here.

We carpool every Saturday and Sunday's he brings his son and drives him up. I drive up every Sunday by myself, and have for 20+ years. I am part of the problem, and a result of the problem. Give me a decent transportation alternative and I'll take it. Relying on the bus ain't it, for me.

Absolutely bob I fully get it- was curious, is all. There is a significant locals travel opportunity there which has not been addressed yet. This year in BCC gonna be intolerable for traffic and parking. Heck i am often a single driver driving downhill to solitude because I don’t have an easy way to get home after skiing. One parking spot for one person. Blah.

What about hitchhiking? I’d love to pick someone up every day. Someone should create a Uber for hitchhiking for the Cottowoods. Connect solo drivers with hitchhikers about to go up. No connection? Then drive up yourself. Then we wouldn’t have to wait on dumb politicians to figure things out.

We need one every day so we can get carpool parking. Alta should pay $2 for every passenger +2.

came in here to comment on this weekend's snowbird stoke, but, goddam, the amount of preposterous jackassery up on UT210 today was downright ludicrous, both directions. forget the $1k ticket, there should be public flogging.
its been consistent enough this season, and will only get worse from here on out, that we could/should start an "Official UT210-LCC Bitch Thread..."style matters...
