I go through phases. rn it’s an 80’s phase. The cure -just like heaven

No, don’t mind at all. Thank you guys for sending all the positive vibes! Accident was at the top of Y mountain in Provo which is a pretty commiting launch. Many variables involved in the accident but I couldn’t abort the launch which is short and has a small cliff at the end and I went off...

Alta doesn't seem to have this problem. I've talked with a few Alta patrollers, and it seems like many of them started at snowbird and moved over to Alta due to problems with management. Alta is just a better run resort, period. It seems like at PC the longest you'll wait in line is at the...

Mineral Basin would be good if ski patrol ever opened it within 2 days of a storm ending. By the time they get to it, it's turned to typical southern aspect suncrusted snow. It's for the birds IMO. Speaking of which....if you are pow chasing, Snowbird has been very slow to open up anything in a...

Wildcat in the late 90's on the lynx double. Waited for well over an hour before getting lowered by ski patrol. When we made it to the bottom, we saw that the haul rope literally came off of the compression sheave train. Totally worth it though seeing as me and my family got 3 free days of...

There's still a ton of them out west. The company was in business until 2002 as well so I can't imagine it's too hard to get parts from old lifts. Ironically enough, the only time I was ever lift evaced was at wildcat. The lift was the lynx double, a riblet as well. After we got evaced and...

This time of year I wouldn't take anything sub 100 to Alta/Snowbird unless you have no other choice. Even on the days in between the storms where the snow gets firm, it's still very edgable. Sent from my SM-G955U using AlpineZone mobile app

Way to get it dlague! Would've been tough for me to make it down anyways but looks like I missed out Sent from my SM-G955U using AlpineZone mobile app

I saw that. It's debatable if you're really "first to open" if you shut down during the week. Regardless, I'm not driving 5+ hours for WROD Sent from my SM-G955U using AlpineZone mobile app

Sunday is supposed be very cold in CO. Single digits or less, great for snowmaking. My guess it that A-Basin opens Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Bring on the WROD Sent from my SM-G955U using AlpineZone mobile app

Every year before ski season starts we get a winter forecast. Is there any site that analyzes how accurate that data was after the season was over? I've checked the Googles and only got scattered results. I was hoping to find a site that showed data for each season showing how accurate each...

I search around on the interwebs for a good deal and try to take advantage of a favorable exchange rate. Purchased my kingpins from Freeze Pro Shop in Scotland for 300 £ (under $400) If I can't get a steal I'll buy from backcountry since I usually can get some discount from them. Sent from...

Utah is pretty cool. It's like CO but more accessible, everything is just a lot closer. Wasn't a great ski season by Utah standards, but it was by CO standards which I've grown accustomed to. Paragliding is awesome too, there's a few spots where you can even get lift served access. Traffic and...
