    Alta 12/12 - The Goody Room

    I'm personally quite envious of Tony. I want to be him when I grow up . Trips to Rangiroa, Antarctica, skiing everywhere around the world...... A well managed career and active living leads to a very nice retirement! =D> =D>

    Alta 12/12 - The Goody Room

    Tony, I pleaded with a certain Utah local to play hooky...... It was a ton of fun......reminds me of the day we went and did Eric's -- nothing better than discovering new terrain untracked by yourself or one with other person.........

    Alta 12/12 - The Goody Room

    All i gotta say is: WOW. Second chair on Collins. The crisp bluebird morning sounded like Baghdad -- always a good sign. Always fun to watch people jump when the bombs go off....... Warmed up on West Rustler -- chalk like consistency. Wind buff , rippable but not good for a starting...

    Alta 12/11

    Still no sign of Admin or the Alta Powder Posse. With the crowds that showed up today, it's easy to get lost in the crowd. Got an early start today and arrived at the parking lot around 8 am. Put my skis in line at 8:15 and got geared up. The lifts started turning at around 9:25. Lots of...

    Alta 12/10

    Hemmed and hawed for 2 hours this am looking at trip reports online. I'm from SoCal and when I hear the phase "Pineapple Express" - I somehow shut down and think of other things to do......... Was 46 degrees in the valley when I got in my rental car. The line entering BCC was absurd. I...

    Mt. Baldy, Feb. 1, 2016

    I'm going to get defensive here.........beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You're painting Baldy out to be a sh*thole and poorly managed.......I can imagine that if all you hear is the negative aspects of Mt. Baldy. It's not owned by a bunch of corporate profiteers with access to endless...

    Alta, UT 1/30-31/2016

    doubtful..........i can't speak to pre 1990 skiing in Utah , however, the 2+ ft storms are lore at this point.....the snowiest weekend I've ever skied Utah was in 2007......haven't skied a day like that since.... i skied on Jan 13th this year.......historically the "snowiest day" in Utah...

    TSV 1/29

    Knowing full well that the snow was going to be similar to the previous day, I decided to head up and get some sun and snow. As you can see from the pictures, moguls and groomers were much of the terrain. Kachina peak skied quite well........the wind had done a number the previous nights...

    Alta 1/17/15 - a different POV

    Just to add a few more pics to make you drool...... Getting up the canyon was quite the experience. When I arrived, the traffic was backed up to the La Caille sign (where the incline begins). Interlodge was supposedly lifted at 8 am, and when I finished breakfast at Carl's, I noted that the...

    Snowbird 1/14/16

    Headed up to the bird to use day 1 of the Mountain Collective pass last Thursday. I was a bit dismayed at the flashing 4x4 / chains requirement sign at the bottom of LCC. Seeing as though I rented a Hyundai Accent from Enterprise, I figured taking the $9 RT Ski Bus was in order. However, I...

    Solitude TR 1/16/15

    Just a late TR from Solitude ..... Used the voucher from the Warren Miller Ski Film -- which included a free ski day at Solitude (any day). Started the day with a proper meal at the classic "Carl's Café" on Fort Union. All American omelette from Carl's will keep you going all morning...

    Alta, UT 1/17/2016

    Even though it was more crowded than I have ever personally seen, the views yesterday were just unreal..... even at 1:30 pm I was still finding great snow...... it was a blessed day at Alta. As I was flying over Lake Arrowhead I saw the red snake from Redlands to Big Bear......the bit of...

    Pow Mow 1/15/16

    Left SLC at 645 am. Roads were a bit gnarly, as snow fall started in the early morning. I saw a few crashes en route to Eden. Stopped at Beto's in Ogden for a proper bacon breakfast burrito before heading up (highly recommended). Arrived at PowMow at around 910. On Paradise lift around...
