What's up with Georgia?

Ok, I'll agree with you on who is getting what they want. And you are correct that the (skiers)/(bc skiers) ratio is huge, though (resort skiers)/(all users) is not, and the resorts impact pretty much every other user of the canyons. As for public policy, it is not set by considering the...

I was going to commend Admin for a relatively fair portrayal of the situation until that last statement. Anyone who is familiar with LCC backccountry and looks at the map of proposed development (http://straightchuter.com/wp-content/up ... 4x36-2.pdf) knows that the vast majority of the...

Day 3, Solitude, 1" overnight You might think that with only one inch overnight, this would not have been a magnificent day. But then I'd say you don't know Solitude. Having worked for Solitude my first year in UT, I know it extremely well, and knew it would be stellar. I arrived at Solitude...

Day 2, Tuesday, Alta 7" new in the morning, 16" total by day's end Skied all day with an amorphous group of 2-15 people that included the Bauman clan, Admin and many of his friends. Met Admin at the Park and Ride and got up to the Wildcat lift in time to be up on it within the first 5...

I usually post to a different forum, but since I shared this trip with many who read this forum, I figured I'd do a rare cross-post: Synopsis: 6 days 5 Powder Days 4 Resorts ~50" of new snow spread over 5 days Day 1, New Snow =0". Snowbird I knew I wouldn't be visiting Snowbird on a powder...

6" of 20% sounds wonderful to us snow starved Easterners! And Saturday's forecast sounds even better.

Nice! Meanwhile, we get a lump of coal, with rain last night, and record warmth and rain coming for Saturday and Sunday. Happy Holidays. Anyone know of a free way to get to SLC from BTV tomorrow?

Scott, Don't let the hype of LCC keep you away from BCC. Solitude is one of the best hidden gems you'll ever find. I''ve skied several hundred days there and still love it. The Marc's will show you the goods And if its been a day since the last storm, skip the PC area and hit up Snowbasin or...

Nice photos, M2. I suggest you do that trip again, but in a canoe. Then use your extra energy to hike up the side canyons. There are tons of Desert Bighorn Sheep and Indian remnants in the area. Another must do canoe trip in the area is Muddy Creek. I'm actually considering flying out for...

Gorgeous, but I want to know if you got any turns in.

Nah, its just happening at Sugarbush South now. They were still spinning chairs in May last season. And with a pair of skins, the season went on almost until June this year.

Administrator's note: This has been split from a separate topic about Snowbird 1/5/2007 (http://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards ... php?t=2593) relating techniques discussed in Kristen Ulmer's "Ski to Live" clinic. "there were some nuggets to glean for managing fear while skiing" Tell us...
