    I don't know what I'm doing either, but I think if the bottom 2 are useless it means you have a good fit. I barely even buckle those.

     

    I bet billy Kaplan can set us straight!

     

    Im sure a well qualified level 3 PSIA instructor could also help you out.

    The easiest way to become the best skier on the mountain, is to buy the best skier on the mountains slightly used boots. I gave them a shot, but 4 buckle boots are just not for me. I have about 20 days in them, looking for $225. Size 27.56ce3b3514eaea8fa233b35cb5f29644c.jpg655ad9424379b16ac1efd9dbe858245c.jpg

    Anyone going up tonight? If I head up I think Im going to park up top so I dont put too much stress on my truck driving over the mountain without it at proper operating temperature. I also may take a lesson so I know if my circle jerk form is correct.

    those are fun but no, I meant off the top of John Paul tram by the downhill course

     

    Nothing against anyone on this site and Im sure Im going to sound like a dickhead for saying it, but I dont think most people here would even look at that and say "Im going to ski that chute"

    so rob and i decided it would be a most excellent adventure to get some fresh turns in the untracked snowfields above Gad 2 lift. the boot pack didn't look too bad and we went for it. we told jfskidan it would only take us 30 mins to get where we wanted to go. wow, that hike was way more than either of us bargained for. we were so beat by the time we actually made it up to the top, about an hour after we started. so we finally get up to the top of the boot pack, then we gear up and take the traverse across the ridge line (which was another adventure in of itself). we skied past the temptation chutes and dropped into this wide open bowl and ended up at the intersection of bananas and tiger tail. snow was suprizingly good. a little crush on top that easily broke down to shin deep goodness. totally worth the harrowing trek to that spot. needless to say that was the last run of the day. we met up with jfskidan at the bottom of Gad 2 lift, took it up and then made our way back to Snowbird Center and had some apres at the lift fork.

     

    Should have kept going skiers left after Tiger Tail and hit Defiance Ledge into Thunder Alley and skied the rope back to Baby Thunder. You have to cut back off the rope line a little early to make it back and not have to hike out but we always had good turns in that area because its a real bitch to go to and even more of a bitch to lap (3 lifts per lap). Glad you guys got at it, but i have no idea why everyone skies Mineral so much...

    can't. our ski and stay package uses the Ski City Super Pass.

     

    Jlaw is spot on, although Pow Mow has cleaned up a bit in the past few years since its been purchased by Summit, but its still pretty dirty. 

     

    If you have to choose Id personally go Basin, mush easier to find your way around if you ask me. I could run Strawberry laps for a week and not get tired of it. If it nukes 12"+ go to Pow Mow, its not as steep so things open faster but be ready for a hell of a drive up the canyon. Both have perks and both are fun, cant really go wrong. A lot of the Valley Bro's started to head to Basin now on big days because they offer a $300 locals pass so be ready with wide elbows if its a big day. 

     

    Enjoy it, have fun and write a report with pictures!!
