Great Scott was in..Great shape. Usually a rock concert at the top..just a slight drop in and boom. My friends Niece dropped it..first time out west for her..good thing fog kept her from really seeing it.

Kingslug you have great timing. I've been skiing Snowbird most days since Mar 3 myself. Snow's been amazing, but good visibility a little hard to come by. Great Scott can ski so easy and creamy sometimes, other times tougher.
Here's a photo from this morning, sunshine in Mineral Basin:

They opened up the area to left called Bookends while I was back there. Whew, 2+ foot deep. I got sloppy seconds but still outstanding.:p

Missed the Bookends, closed. :( One of my favorite runs. Wish I had been there friday but we stayed in PC and missed the feet the Bird got. The road up was a mess but would have been worth it. Had to settle for lapping Jupiter, McConkys , Thanes and Pioneer. Didn't think I would like PC but when its good..its pretty good. Never made it to 9990 though.

When I checked the night before, Bookend wasn’t open. That contributed to us going to DV over the Bird. Plus, visibility (the lack of) would have been an issue too.

We got sloppy (but deep & soft) 2nd in the trees in DV with nobody insight, all day long till last chair. Very enjoyable. :)
