The rain damage is real, most off piste was pretty haggard if I'm being honest. Cirque was still holding relatively well though and there was still a clean takeoff in Diagonal.

took the volunteer grom to snowbird today
super grateful to sfb and a ton of other mags for helping make this happen, both the grom and his legal guardian agree that snowboarding has been an incredibly positive development in his life

Yesterday, Snowbird was fun. Tgapp, I would have liked to have seen you on the hill.
On another note, TGR will open a retail location on Main Street in Park City. IDK, I guess they are attempting to push the sale of soft goods and their brand aggressively. The shop in Jackson is dope, but I have mixed feelings about seeing a TGR retail shop in the Wasatch.“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?

Skied the south face of superior this morning, i'd stick a fork in it unless you are trying to keep a streak of skiing the south face of superior alive like I was. Some big runnels and not smooth snow. I'm guessing this is the last few days you'll be able to ski continuous snow from the summit.
Snow looks pretty good on north faces imo. Weird spring with limited overnight re-freezes, but the snow is into the summer snowpack phase so its skiing well where the snow is smooth.
Groomers at the bird at hard to beat at the moment.

Who's the knucklehead(s) that got Baldy bootpack closed on Sun.? Couldn't follow a simple request by SSP not to ski back into the Bird! Some clown on top even argued w/ me when I told them "no skiing back into the Bird"! You skied right by a sign telling you that exact thing as you entered the bootpack knumbknuts

PROS: There will be a theatre that presumably will show TGR movies; I like TGR swag and won't have to order on-line and pay a shipping fee, or travel to the JH store.
CONS: TGR risks losing its "niche" and reputation by this type expansion. I perceived TGR to have a very hip Jackson Hole ski bum vibe that has diminished over the past years. It has been infiltrated by the likes of the new schoolers/gapic crowd which has made the brand almost trite. This new strategy (retail stores in PC, Bozeman, Breck....) while probably good for the bottom line financially will take away from that warm and fuzzy feeling that I used to get by being a member of the TGR community. Soon, we should probably start a thread, "Gaper quotes that you have heard at your local TGR store". Look forward to a TGR retail store at your local mall.

I'm talking about first thing in the morning before things had even really been skied. The cat operators never got it very smooth to begin with. Not knocking the operators skills at all, I figured it just wasn't possible to groom very well in those conditions.

I know they manage the spring corn more actively at palisades and alpine in tahoe. Not that we have had the other half of whats needed for corn (freezes). even still, I wonder how effective it would be to close things earlier as they rut to allow the sun to smooth them out?
I dont even know what im talking about. i cant get out of the damn valley to save my life, havent been up in almost 2 weeks. For whatever reason I end up not being able to ride in May every season.

stop dont shoot! I know they do close some areas mid morning if theyre getting thrashed. Im not advocating for it at any rate, just talking.
Also I figured we'd have a good spring storm by now since it seems to happen every year, but no 2 seasons are the same i suppose. weather will be weather

Wasatch 22/23 - Gondolas, grooming highboy, and other comical anecdotes
Cool to see. How about lightning? Thought about easy parking lot laps this weekend
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Problem this time of year is if a ski area doesn't reroy a slope it kinda sucks with any angle.
Corduroy is what they lay down the majority of the season. Reroy is hitting it twice before public.
This time of year one needs to groom it before it freezes.
And again on graveyard after the slope sets up, the slower the better for less chunkage.
SB don't spend on diesel like DV does.
Or care, obviously. Only game in town. They could try a little harder.
Like why the f hasn't zoom been spinning this spring?
Other than the dirt pockets making knees feel old, hell of a pack this year, eh?Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

Reroy, hah! I bet even DV wouldn't double their grooming costs.

But the zoom groomers have been the secret stash the past few weekends, outside of making myself feel really old in the park. Upper cirque would ski good if more people were skiing it. Have to ski where the dust has been scraped off.
I still can’t truly figure out if p dog, mineral, cloud and tunnel will be running while the observation decks are being installed in the tram. Very lawyer esque opaque wording.
