Your planned itinerary is ambitious and subject to the unprdictable weather that can hit the Sierras. I believe it was the middle of Dec 2002 when my wife and I went to So. Lake Tahoe for a few days to ski Heavenly. Conditions were marginal (low snow) but skiable. After three nights we drove...

Good point. I did misuse the word "bare." What I meant to say was that there was no "loose" or "soft" snow present. The winds had blown that off to the sides in many places leaving a very slick hard packed (dare I say "somewhat icy") surface. Trying to set an edge on some of the groomed...

Marcski, Kingslug and I will be up at Alta tomorrow (Wed). We will be meeting at GMD between 9:30 and 10 AM. Conditions today were mixed. Some of the groomers were pretty hard and bare. Some of the tree runs were OK, but any aspects that had significant sun yesterday were crusty. Ballroom...

Wow! That snow does look dense.

Yes Sharon, some of us did ski today. I got up to Albion around 10 AM. After I skied a couple of quick warmup runs off Supreme I hooked up with my friend Paul (Another east coast retiree like me who now lives in UT.) at Alf's. Our first effort was to head up Supreme and do a hike up into...

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did check and they kept "updating" the opening time.

I got to the "Park-n-Ride" around 10:15 AM. The Sheriff informed me that the road was going to be closed until 11:30 AM. I turned around and went down to Sandy to run some errands. I got back to the Canyon Road about 11:20. This time the road appeared open and I got about two miles up when I...

Actually, I drove up a little after 11 AM hoping for the best. The road going up was getting pretty bad by then; and going down was looking really gnarly. I pulled into Wildcat and saw (or rather didn't see) that visibility was definitely going to be an issue. I decided that: "Discretion...

Yes, it was still deep today. This past Monday and Tuesday were EPIC! Today was Day 47 for me. Until I moved to UT I never imagined that I would get to ski so often in the kind of conditions we consistently experience here. \:D/

Great shots and vids! Thanks for sharing. A set of pictures like this goes a long way toward explaing why some of us packed up and moved to UT :D

Yup! I gave the ribs a couple of days off to heal, but couldn't resist going up there today. I hit Wildcat Base around 10 AM and the parking lot was nearly half full. It was 32 degrees at the base, and snowing rather steadily. Since there were also some rather low-hanging clouds that...

That web cam shot from Collins is why I am down at my house catching up on projects and ski maintenance. I firmly believe that the sun will come back again to enhance our enjoyment of the POW :-)

Great video and beautiful pictures. Powder is definitely addictive. Thanks for sharing!

Had to blow around 6" of snow off our driveway and garage apron before I left for Alta this AM. I got up to GMD about 10 AM and scored an empty spot in an otherwise full parking lot about 5 cars in from the GMD end of the lot. I went inside to put in my contacts and immediately ran into a...

I skied Alta today. Yes, the snow was a bit "thick" today, but there was plenty of it! I took some East Coast tourists for some nice runs in the Collins Trees, and a couple of turns out towards the Ho off Wildcat. They saw no reason to complain about the character of the snow, and finished...

Mad River Glen?

Isn't that what Arnold Schwarzeneger said in "The Terminator?"

Where are you staying? The good stuff is in LCC. I skied it today (Monday day 35 for the season.) and the FTO crew and I skied powder all day! Of course, I live 16 miles from the Wildcat Base. PM me for info.
