    Alta Groomers 23 Mar 08

    This report is obviously from an entirely different prospective than Admin’s report on the same day (although we may have seen them from the Collins lift—that’s as close I’ll ever get to that). We drove up the canyon early to get good parking spots. By the time we all had our gear on the lot...

    Powder Mountain 22 Mar 08

    We wanted to go to Powder Mountain this week, so we decided to go on Saturday figuring it would be less crowded than the CC or PC resorts, and also to beat the warm temps forecasted to arrive on Sunday. I think we made a good decision. Despite being pulled over by one of Utah’s finest on the...

    Alta (well, Ski Free after 3) 21 Mar 08

    Family hour. Never seen so many kids. Not a complaint, just an observation. I'm here with family myself. Most everyone was having a great time. Flight arrived this afternoon and we got to Alta in time for three runs in Albion Basin. Made the mistake of getting on the Albion lift once...

    Sundance, UT 2/16/08

    With all the above accolades (as well as the beautiful photos), we've gone from "thinking about" going to "almost certainly" going.

    Sundance, UT 2/16/08

    Thanks for the report--don't see too many about Sundance. We've thought about driving down to try this resort. If that's what the crowds and liftlines (more appropriately, the lack thereof) are like on a holiday weekend, I can imagine what it's like on a weekday.

    Thanks. I found the website. Looks good.

    :D Yes, I realize that the mid-Atlantic isn't exactly a mecca for skiers, but many locals from DC and Baltimore learned to ski at these places and still head there from time to time to keep in shape for trips to other regions, or just have a little fun with friends/family. I am happy to share...

    Powder Mountain and Snowbasin Tire Chain Questions

    I'm planning a trip to Utah in March, and I hope someone can help me with something. I've noticed on the Utah DOT highway report that chains or 4WD are always required for the roads to Powder Mountain and Snowbasin, even when it hasn't snowed for a few days and the roads are listed as "dry."...

    EXCUSE THE YELLING, BUT THEY WERE BLASTING THE GUNS ALL DAY AND I'VE GONE HALF DEAF!! Oh well, if it weren't for the snow guns, we'd have little to no skiing here in the mid-Atlantic, especially this year. Time flies. The last time I skied here was circa 1969, when it had a different...

    Mid-Atlantic--Whitetail 1/22/08

    Mid-Atlantic skiing doesn't get much attention, and frankly there has been little to mention this season, what with rain almost every weekend in December and early January, and then a spell of "Juneuary" earlier this month which melted most of the snow the resorts had been able too produce...

    Whitetail 12/08/07

    While I was being a little tongue in cheek, there is, as they say, a truth behind every jest. IN this case it was fortunately just a glancing blow by a kid who had fallen down that knocked her off balance, but on crowded weekends all the close-in resorts in the Mid-Atlantic have a lot of...

    Whitetail 12/08/07

    I realize this won't generate much interest, except perhaps those wondering "where the &#@*!" is Whitetail? Whitetail is located in south-central Pa, a few miles above the Md/Pa line and is perhaps the southernmost Pa ski hill. It's also one of the closest hills to the DC-Balt metro area...

    Alta, UT 6/2/2007

    Alta web cams show pretty good coverage, and that a couple of folks have skied down from the top of Sugarloaf lift. (I know, I need to get back to work, get a life, and/or both).

    Well? And so much for "that's absolutely, positively it for me this year."

    Snow Basin or Powder Mountain?

    The only "skiing" 1.5 hrs. from me is a 900 ft. slab of ice, which you must share elbow-to-elbow with everyone else. I regularly drive 3 hrs. to ski slightly better hills. So when I drove to Powder Mountain from SLC last year the drive was nothing, and this year we're going to Snowbasin...

    "...and I've never looked back since." I can tell. Way to go.

    Thanks for this and all the other great reports and photos. I must say that I am more than a bit envious of your lifestyle.

    Suggestions?: At SLC 2/16-20

    Hello. I came across this website about a month ago and have been enjoying all the reports and photos of the resorts throughout the US and Canada. It sounds like you and your sons are at about the same comfort zone as my daughter and myself. We went to Powder Mountain (or PowMow as a local...
