Ira, I'm glad you had a good time. It is always fun to show visitors some of the hidden gems of our "home" mountains. Too bad you didn't get to play in a nice powder dump. Maybe you'll get some next time you visit. I suspect you will be back :)

Because we could? :?

Kingslug and I did Snowbird today. It was day 30 for me. I met him at the Peruvian chair and we worked some lines below the Circ. We then went around the front on Rothman's and skied over into Gad Valley. We were not impressed by the snow quality but did find some nice chutes off the Gad2...

Hey everybody, why so testy? Is everyone suffering from a "wedgie?" The stuff coming down all morning realy sucked! It plastered itself against our goggles constantly. It was some sort of moisture that became ice nearly instantly on contact with the goggles (or anything else we were...

Kingslug and I made a couple of runs after Admin left and then met Pat and Marc C in GMD for a rest. After they left we went back out for another try. Lo and behold, the clouds broke, the precip stopped and finally the sun came out. We had a great time skiing in the sun from around 1:30 to...

Had some paperwork and other business to take care of this AM, but managed to get up to Alta by 11:00 AM. From the moment I got out of the car is was puking snow. With the line at Collins, and the poor visibility that made my first run a bit slow, I missed my meet-up at the Watson Shelter. I...

Nice Video Marc. I didn't get up to Alta until around 11:30. Scored a parking slot in the second row about 50 yds from GMD. Skies were beautiful, snow was sweet, but it was definitely brrrrrrrrrrrr! I stayed until around 3:30 and then headed home. BTW, James and elements of the "Fighting...

Got up to Alta a bit late (Had to snowblow our sidewalks, driveway, and garage apron before setting off for the trip up LCC.) and struck up a conversation in the packed Wildcat parking lot with a nice young man (to me 35 is young) from Turkey who had never skied Alta before. He was asking...

I'm with you Marc. Tomorrow should be terrific. I don't like not seeing where I'm going in the open areas and cover in some of the tree areas is just a bit low. That should be remedied by this storm. I guess I am getting spoiled living so close to Alta-Bird.

The Snow Gods smiled on Alta over night. LCC road was covered with snow in most places, and when I hit Snowbird, it became clear the we had been blessed with around a foot of lovely POWDER to enjoy on a "bluebird day." Temps ranged from around 18 to the high 20's. There was virtually no wind...

Best wishes for an uncomplicated and quick recovery Marc. I did a few turns up at Alta today. It was pissing snow from the time I got there at noon until I left. My friend Paul and I were already not touching bottom in many places by 2:30. Not to tease you, but tomorrow morning should...

It really did feel that it was moving slowly.

I got in around 4 hours of really nice turns at Alta today. It was a nice surprise to find Supreme open. I briefly ran into Telly John, but I was skiing with another friend and we were about to stop for a brew at Alf's so I didn't join up with the crew. I'm still trying to fiqure out what...

The entire business is really BS. I think it was all started by the LDS (Mormon) leadership as a way to intimidate their members into not drinking alcohol. They could check the club records for "sinners." I have heard that there is an amazing increase in booze sales (for cash of course) at...

Admin is correct. I was literally alone on some of my drops off the High T today. Conditions were great.

I was up at Alta today from around 1 - 4 PM. It was really good. It is starting to feel like the "real" UTagain. :lol:

I was at Alta yesterday and today. Considering how much it snowed Tuesday night and all day today, I'll bet that the base is at least 12" deeper then it was on Tuesday. Today was really starting to feel like "UT skiing."

After spending a "retiree morning" lounging and reading news and opinions on the web,(including last night's snow report) I spent the remainder of the morning untangling some strings of Christmas lights. I finally decided they were a lost cause and would go buy new ones. By this time it was...

Since I took it much easier yesterday then you and the crew, I'm not in pain today. However, your last line is definitely on the money. The only compensation for the various pains is my monthly SS check :-)

I decided that trying to pick up my season pass tomorrow would probably not be a good idea. I went up this morning and there were only four people ahead of me. Things look good for tomorrow morning. I even put my snow tires on my Subie today just in case.... Check this out...
