Wow. Not blower pow. But a very unique ski photo

[NBABUCKS1]

can anyone tell me what time I should enter the canyon tomorrow to get parking at snowbird? Don't go south very often and not sure how it works on weekends

[Phall]

If you want free parking that’s not on the highway I’d be there before 830, maybe earlier.

actually that was some all time great conditions. apologies for the poor photography - that evening we had like 4" of heavier snow capped with 8-10" of light, NW flow magic cold smoke. maybe not the lightest snow in absolute objective terms, but the combo of heavy base that you could bounce off of and light snow that you were constantly popping and planing on and out of was unreal


ryan - fkn great pictures, thanks for sharing
tfw - always love learning more, thank you
crank - looks absolutely sick

Special thanks to nbabucks for the great afternoon ripping around strawberry; no pics but I had a blast, and the snow wasn't bad either. worlds better than the 50mph upslope winds of yesterday.

Friend in town pulled a last minute audible. Anyone have an Alta parking reservation for tomorrow (Sunday) they aren’t going to use?

[Dantheman]

Full bingo card.

[NBABUCKS1]

lol i was looking at that from the lift today, all three you?

we traversed under and I stopped and remarked that skiers left was pretty big, middle took some speed to clear those rocks and right was boney.

[Dantheman]

Yes, and correct assessments all around.

[altacoup]

Nice airs! Make sure to stay healthy before your trip. Years ago Sage told me before he was heading to AK to film “got to watch myself you only have so much pixie dust”

That's an awesome Sage quote. That's definitely at top of my mind now. When I was skiing yesterday nothing had been booked yet.

Found corn this morning at about 8am, east facing, 6500 to 8000 ish. Surprisingly, still some cold, dense pow on mid elevation north faces that stayed out of the wind.

Whoever put the computer mouse in the cats paw is a genius.

Anyone know the story?

Both those dudes came up to JH for the Town Downhill over the weekend.

Ligety came in second @ 47.73.
Nyman came in fifth @ 48.72

First 6 finishers were ex Pro/WC level racers...except the local kid who finished third overall.
Mattias Wilson, son of Capt. Benny Wilson, in bib 25 won the Junior class and put down a 48.06.
