    Even my 11 year olds miss it and ask when we can go back to Frost and do some trees now that we have Blue passes. They will be glad once Blue Baumer opens at least. Nice to see they were blowing snow in there.

    It really is great that they are blowing directly in the glades and not just allowing blow over to fill it in. Give it 5 years and all of the trees will be dead, and we still will not have glades to ski at Blue.

    If you need lift beers, hit the Pharmacy in the Snowbird Center. If you need a beer to end the day, hit the Tram Club in the Snowbird Center, get the shot and mug combo ;). If you want to get weird, hit P-dog up the access road towards Alta a bit in the Peruvian Lodge.

    PC is mediocre for Utah. That being said, we are skiing even more mellow deer valley. Specifically to stop at the St. Regis for a $25 Old Fashioned and a dude down the funicular. 

    I hope you have a coupon, they are more than $25

    When you are coming down the road from the summit towards Little Gap there is what looks like an old fairgrounds down in the valley, with bleachers.

    That is further to the left in that map, I know there is an old pump house in the parcel you are mistaking for the fairgrounds. I am unsure if it is still in use.

    Yeah, been looking for places after son graduates and I love Utah, but the air quality in Salt Lake area gets to unhealthy levels during inversions that can last for weeks.
    Salt Lake City is a valley surrounded by mountains and when the winds die down and cold air sets in, the smog just lingers over the city.
    Friends that used to live out there moved out because of it.   I hear it's really bad for those with respiratory problems.

    Plenty of places in "SLC" proper that are not in the typical smog and still a 30-45 minute drive to LCC, BCC, PC or Basin/Powmow.

    Or just man up and buy above the smog, in the little town of Alta or something up by Brighton. Mill Creek is also an option....

    Becaue fresh cord is awesome. It’s smooth like a carpet and you can lay down railroad tracks. 

    Facts check out, you dont turn, kinda like rail road tracks and you carry a whole lot of mass.

    Im sure someone on here knows the pump capacity at Blue, Im to lazy to do the research. 100,000 gph with a bit of head and youre at ~$2000.00 an hour pretty quick and thats just to get water to guns. Ends up being ~$48k a day. They also need to run the compressor house. Id assume snow making is one of the biggest expenses they have.

    If the forecast stays as cool as predicted or trends a bit colder at night If it stays clear and the winds die down a bit, Big boulder could have a bonkyard open next weekend.

    A lot of big 'if's' in there, but fingers crossed!
