Sounds like you have a better job than me lol. But really I'm just jealous cause I'll actually be at work tomorrow.

As much as I'd like to be there tomorrow for the same reason I couldn't ski with Buster I'm sitting this one out. I've got company coming next week and have to save days off.

I will say, if this storm dumps the projected 20 inches overnight at this time of year I'll bet the canyon opening is delayed. 7:48 sunrise doesn't leave much time for shelling and spotting and an 8:00 opening. Bring lots of snacks and a pee bottle for the ride up, heh.

Haha the word interlodge definitely makes it move

So, if I were to try to get up BCC tomorrow by the time lifts open, what time would I need to be at the mouth of the canyon? Going to avoid LCC as it seems everyone is headed that way.

Debating whether or not i should try for Sol/Brighton or just go for Powmow

**Dantheman** · 01-17-2019, 10:23 PM

The massive slide across the road in Provo canyon does not bode well for LCC opening on time tomorrow.

I'd say no later than 730 for BCC. Could even see the rare BCC closure tomorrow.

Smart move Mike! there will be a better time to visit. I think our freshman ski bums are going to get a little lesson tomorrow on how high snow totals don't always correlate with the best ski days!

LCC opening pushed back till 1000. Can't say I'm surprised. Ikonic shitshow impending.

**detrusor** · 01-18-2019, 07:44 AM

So much snow at my house. Close to 3 ft I bet. First 2 + came down without a stitch of wind then at 10 it cranked up. Wow.

Yeah just pulled into the park and ride and heard the good news. Shitty.

Anyone know if today is a blackout day if I head to Solitude to use my wasatch benefit?

**BobMc** · 01-18-2019, 07:50 AM

19-21 blacked out, should be all right today.

Traffic in BCC already stopped at the top of the slips....

**SirHeady** · 01-18-2019, 08:13 AM

Like clockwork we get one of the biggest storm cycles in recent memory as I depart on a work trip to Sonoma...so y’all are welcome
