Wasatch 22/23 - Gondolas, grooming highboy, and other comical anecdotes

[schindlerpiste]

Cole Sports in P.C., for sure. I have a 2mil X 20" strip if that helps
You can also try The Can't Co 1-800-621-1657

[D-Roc]

Anyone here have a guess which shops might have under binding cant strips in stock? Need two 1.5 degree. Hoping to get my new touring skis mounted up before this next storm cycle or I'd just order them online.

Called Podium up in PC and they had no idea.

you can also use an old cutting board or like camping one that is usually pretty thin, put the toe / heel on, trace, cut, sand, install

Heck yeah TFW, I plan to be there! Looking forward to it.

In less exciting news, just got an email from the GMD that the already scaled down LCC bus service will no longer include a stop at the GMD. Total insanity.

Cliff Lodge is out too, so no bypass road bus. A real bummer but there are just no operators for bus service.

Not the super stoke posted earlier, but i was psyched to be out makin turns yesterday!

So no stops except Albion? I don’t think you could pay me to ride the bus this year.

[Phall]

They will stop at creekside and snowbird center, no Cliff, no GMD.

[schindlerpiste]

This year, will pay to park still be avail at The Cliff? Sometimes, I like to ski The Bird and then workout/sauna/steam at the spa. $50 is a bit steep, though.
Gone are the days when underground Cliff parking was free ($5 tip) and a winter season Cliff Spa pass was about $150

Maybe they coordinated the bus route modification with the new Albion 6-pack

If this is true I now believe in the conspiracy,

[Albeeon]

Rumor is that uta informed Alta they intend to use larger busses to make up for the reduced service but said that the larger busses can't easily make the turn at the stop in the wildcat/gmd lot. The ski area is actively lobbying uta to reconsider.

I forgot that it snowed in the Wasatch, glad you’re back. May Ullr bless thee with above average snowfall

back when I was your age we used to take the bus back to the lifts after a lap in Mexico...and we LIKED it

Looks like Wasatch Peaks Ranch - NORTH is doing midweek passes if anyone wants to attempts to snag one!

Damn, it's $150 more than the Basin midweek pass!

[MarsB]

You can walk in and buy a Snowbasin pass of your choice today. Powder Mountain season passes didn't even make it out to half of their waiting list. This Midweek Pass seems like a concession of sorts, making it available to the waiting list & night pass holders. It will be interesting how many will be left if and when they make it to the general public, assuming this pass is capped like the others..

9" at CLN is not fake news

I personally would rather have larger buses and no GMD than smaller buses and GMD. I mean would you rather get off at Sunnyside and take the tow over to Collins or would you rather wait in the Valley for another 30 minutes to an hour for another bus or two that has room to take you?... Although I am going to be awfully nervous the first time these "big buses" make their way down the canyon when the road is iced over.

Anybody else losing trees cuz leaves are still on?

Problem with this is the lockers holders at GMD and Buckhorn are now going to drive instead of taking the bus. I doubt people with their gear on the Wildcat side are going to walk from Albion to access their lockers.

Fox 13 ran a story last night about the loss of bus service. Mike Maughan said they have tried to get UTA to change the policy but "it's a safety issue". Also heard that they will not be using the bypass road for the same safety reason. So that means no bus service to Alta when Hellgate / Superior is closed.

[CirqueScaler]

Another great example of why Europe sux

[Phall]

Apparently, there was an incident on the bypass last year that prompted this decision from UTA.

Nah I prune and smoke mine , never lose your trees...

Looked like a mob from The Walking Dead going up Collins this morning
