    Best Utah Ski Area in Windy Weather

    Hey guys, I am out in Utah this week and we are supposed to get 6-10in for monday. The only problem is that the forecast calls for a steady 25 mph wind. Should I be worried about lift closures? Is there a certain resort that has less exposure to wind/is less likely to close their lifts. I...

    Ragged Mountain 1/29/11

    I was headed for something new this weekend. After consulting a few friends I decided to head south to Ragged. Driving down I did not really know what to expect. As I pulled into the access road I was greeted with the view of the slopes of Ragged, some pre ski vibe. The lodge was pleasant and...

    Loon Mt Dec 20, Bretton Woods Dec 21 & 22

    I was at Loon a few weeks ago and was pleased that more terrain had opened. While the surfaces were only "okay", the coverage was much more even across the whole mountain. Throughout the day I covered all the peaks and basins and everything was in pretty good shape. Obviously east basin is going...

    Loon Mt Dec 5, 2010

    What a great start to the season. I think the crew at Loon need a round of applause for the work they accomplished. Not only did they have a good amount of blues open, but they kept the guns blasting on runs like Rampasture and Seven Brothers, a real pleasure to ski. The Northpeak trails got...

    Tenney Mt New Website

    Fail! Their old web site was better than their new one. They need a new trail map quite badly to. As much as I dislike Tenney Mt in general it is the best place to go on powder days :). There is never anyone there. Slow lift though. Pays off on powder days. Otherwise ski Cannon, Attitash, SR...
