Way to get after it!!!!

Pics make this look like it has the same pitch as homestretch, but its quite the opposite. I really enjoy Brighton. Parking lot was packed when we left, but liftlines were nothing, not having to do the human slalom to ski groomers at a good clip was nice. From the looks of the line at the ticket window at 4pm, it looks like they di quite a good business night skiing. The trails for night skiing werent all bombed out either.

JF is far from boarder free. I skied there on a season pass for 5 yrs.

It is. Oddly enough, it might be more crowded today than monday.

Yup. Thats what it says now. Thats not what it said at 7:30 am. Is what it is. Not regretting being at brighton today for sure.

I still fucking love this place. Not real sure how they got off on reporting 7" overnight, but they didnt get anything. Its a good "day aftrr the storm" type conditions. Can still locate some nice pockets of deep stuff, but it is on the heavier side. Trees are still good. Mixing in some nice groomers so we can keep it going till the bell rings. Stopped this morning to pick up a pair of nordica enforcer 100 to demo. Nice ski. They only had it in 169, and i think i would really like to be in the 183 range. Lunch is over. Enjoy the day tomorrow, it looks like Blue will get the goods. Maybe even skitoLive will make it out. Oh, wait, powder makes homestretch even less managable. I hate that.

What you made clear is that "in spring conditions its a chore for you getting down Homestretch" "An expansion for marketing reasons rather than to improve the experience for skiers." So, adding 2 terrain parks (central park, and terrain run) didnt improve the experience for skiers? Oh, sorry, they didnt improve the experience for you. got it. I'm pretty sure these two trails wouldnt exist if they didnt move the lift down to where it is now.

I have seen lots of 6-10" thrown around. I thought it was supposed to snow mostly during the day? We get back into PHL tomorrow at 3:40 pm. I guess i need to start paying attention to this a little more. Hope you guys get the goods at Blue to freshen things back up a bunch. It might make up for one or two of those days where sugar was on the menu. Dont forget, widowmaker will be deep. ski with a buddy, beacon, shovel, etc.

97 mph winds at the top.

Staying at the Crystal Inn. Decent place, good breakfast, and a light dinner. You could actually stay here without renting a car. They have an airport shuttle, and they do some shuttles for dinner. Without a car you can ride the bus, but im not a huge fan of being on someone elses schedule. A few more pics from today.

Just stopped snowing. Real nice stuff off of great western about 2/3rds down in the trees.

At least i didnt put it in the beer thread, or the Bear Creek sucks thread. Eating lunch at the milly lodge. Been playing off this lift for the morning. So much varied terrain here. Still some pockets of fresh stuff to be found. Im having some steeze fries and a burger. Washing it down with some of utahs finest water. More later.

I fucking love this place. Little snow overnight. Light snow falling throughout the day.

So, someone fifty years old, today, is supposed to be making $250k a year? You should call my boss, let him know there is a new pay scale. Regardless, saying its 2,3,or 4 X your age doesnt leave much to be said for where you live, cost of living, etc.

Oh good. i was really concerned about that.

Seems like all the cosmic tumblers in the world may be coming together to hand out some freshies for our trip. From Wasatch Snow Forecast...... Sunday is a break day. Next storm pushes in late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Snow will fall in the mountains on Monday with snow levels between 6-7k feet. So the snow will of a dense variety. Still, we could get some fairly significant totals. 06z 12km NAM portrays up to 20″ of snow on Monday for the Upper Cottonwoods: Univ of Utah So both Monday and Tuesday could be good skiing. Tuesday is a another break between waves. The next push of moisture will move in Tuesday night into Wednesday. Confidence in this wave is still low as some model runs have been weaker with this wave and push the moisture farther north. Still, I think it’s likely we will see another wave of high mountain snowfall on Wednesday with chance for some decent accumulation.

Was. Just landed at PHL.

Way to get after it!!!! I think i am passing on saturday as well.

So nashville is pretty cool. Nice people, and its really clean. The wild horse saloon is a neat place to check out. It might be the biggest bar i have ever been in. Very chill. If you can handle country music just a little bit, check it out. Event came with the titans cheerleaders too.

Way to get after it, ok?

Way to get after it!!! Ok.

Yeah, thats not working real well. They blew some snow but i guess forgot to add the industrial strength glue to the water.

I had high hopes after 2 or 3 runs things would stay together a little better/longer than yesterday. They didnt.
