This is a new video for my other project, Grand Adventure, that combines winter camping with skiing. With warmer spring days and spring nights that are still quite cold, we bring our RV travel trailer to winter camp amongst three feet of snow at Jordanelle State Park and ski at the adjacent Deer...

The Utah Avalanche Center published this today:

Even though you only implied it and don't have the guts to come out and say it yourself, a) Alta was open and accessible on 2/5, so as usual you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. b) I actually had a 10 am root canal/crown that day instead of skiing, so as usual you don't know what...

"Better" based on what?

They actually did close mid-day for avi shooting. https://twitter.com/CanyonAlerts/status ... 5390954496

Well, the road did actually open just now, 4:38 p.m. Congrats to those who got a country club day by going up before 5:30 a.m., and are nevertheless going to sleep in their own beds tonight!

And then your wife suggested bowling? :-s

Addendum: Just got a text from Alta Central indicating that Interlodge is lifted, "ped travel only straight to Alta to ski Wildcat/Collins. Do not drive anywhere, please obey so we can do it again." So those who got up pre-closure are having a country club day on limited terrain, but may not...

As of the time I'm writing this, the storm total is 54" and still counting. Of that, 21" has fallen since 4 pm yesterday. We got about a foot or more at my house in Cottonwood Heights when it came down hard & heavy overnight, and roads even in the Valley were a disaster this morning. Some Valley...

:rotfl:

Thank you reefus12!

True, of course. Not true. "He who shall no longer be named" has long argued that Wasatch snowfall is very consistent from one month to the next. Therefore, given that with the season only 40% over, and 55% of a 500-inch annual average already received, we're well in excess of 100%...

No it wasn't. You know, I'm not even going to respond in depth to this idiocy, but I'll admit that I can't help myself from pointing out the obvious. Anyone with even half a brain can deduce that with the season only 40% over, and 55% of a 500-inch annual average already received, we're well...

Days 40-52 for me (spanning 1/10-24/2019) ended with a 7-foot storm cycle over the past 8 days including a full-on country club day, getting Interlodged, and the entire mountain closing down at mid-day for too much snow. Crazy! Season to date now totals 271", no matter what cockamamie personal...

:lol:

No, it defaults to 146 when it errors. You can consistently watch a storm in progress stack up by watching the station. And Alta's snow report precisely mirrors that station's report, even updating hourly throughout the storm. How many resorts provide that information on their own website?

Admit it, you missed me.

I respectfully disagree. People may not be able to read it or understand it, but that's because they're used to ski area lies and misinformation like reporting manmade bases as base depths, inflating snowfall figures, making up terms like "packed powder" or "loose granular," or trying to apply...

Is that the 17-18 settled inches of old October snow that doesn't count?

You continue to publicly display your ignorance because unlike most ski areas, Alta does not ever report a manmade base, no matter how deep. They report the settled snow depth at the undisturbed mid-Collins snow plot, in the woods near the top of Blitz and Taint, as their base depth. Here's that...
