You may be right Marc. I was always under the impression that the Front 4 were all in National Forest Land.

Here is a recent article about snowbird's proposed expansion plans. It mentions that most of the proposed new terrain sits within snowbird's privately held land. So it appears the bird may lease some national forest lands directly adjacent to it's own privately held land that makes up most of the ski area.

An elk would be no fun to ski with...or into...I did ski up to a baby one at JH...didn't want to meet the mother though...

14" last night, Over 200" base and 700" total snowfall.

Oh, and they are closed...reopening this weekend and then done for the season. Unbelievable!

Today some gusty winds at the ridgetops. Tonight 4-7" new snow with a low temperature around 10 degrees F.

that hurts.

Closing day. Just look at this picture from Marc's post over at FirstTracks.... IMHO, this is why ALTA is the best ski area.

i was out there in the end of march and I thought the season would be on it;s last legs. on the contrary, the season seems to have developed longer legs!

and I thought I was lucky to get powder days on all the days out there.

It's still snowing....Hard. 2-3 Feet the last few days...Supposed to end Saturday. They still have 187" base (before the storm is over and included) even though they've been closed for 2 weeks!

Wonder how that Elk mating is going.:-o Snowbird Spring Pass would have been the steal of the year.
