AtomicSkier Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 nono, not with a girl! Within the past 24 hours Alta has received 10.5" of snow with about 1-3 inces more. And another storm moving in Saturday into Sunday! This is the first real snow for Alta in almost 3 weeks. Should be nice out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurp Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 why cant we get snow liek that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 why cant we get snow liek that? because snow like that is not fun. For me, the icier the better, the snow doesn't break away when you have your ski tipped on high edge and are ripping turns at mach 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 People look at you funny when you tell them you are a skier and hate snow, except what falls in your backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Looks like they are getting about 4-8 inches tonight...We will see. We have a cr*ppy lil rental car, that I don't think would make it to Alta in snow, so it looks like we will be at park city tomorrow. We shall see...Life is hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see...Life is hard yea man, stay off of Little Cottonwood Canyon Road (rt 210) when there is snow. that can get nasty (you need snowtires, or chains to be in the canyon, anyway)....

skierboi Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 next to the mconkey lift at the top there is a blue trail, go halfway down that and to the right there wiull be like a bowl ( bottom i guess of mconkys). It is sooooo good in powder, and when i was there last yr no one skied it like all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyk Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 That sentance totally confused me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think what was meant was deeper powder requires more work and you can't build up any speed in it. I like snow, but any more than a few inches of ungroomed snow is too much. I hate having to exhaust a lot of energy...that's why I like down hill skiing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibhusky Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well, you can make lots of huge arcing turns in fresh stuff, but I admit that the sensation is totally different. And once it's all chopped up into crud, it requires concentration. But, I actually chose to do some mogul runs yesterday because they are so much fun when the moguls are as soft as down comforters.
