lol same here. My buddy from Denver drove to steamboat last night to get at least part of the way to PC. Looks like hes gonna be stuck there till at least Saturday am, if he ends up going at all. Should I recommend him to take the route through WY or would I-80 be the better bet?

80 is the wyoming route. co friend texted me that 80 will be closed overnight tonight until tomorrow night. your friend can take us 40 from steamboat.

park city. yuck.

If I wasnt spending 8 days in CO between Vail, Breck, Abasin, Keystone and Loveland at the end of feb/march I wouldn't be strictly skiing there. Brother has a wedding at Deer Valley and we're both on EPIC.

Snowbird and Alta never opened today, 24 hour interlodge is in effect. Meanwhile read on TGR that Jackson had more people there at opening than most weekends.

Sounds like the snow is wet and heavy, source region for this event is the tropics so makes sense. Big avy danger.

Lake Placid got a few inches last night and are calling for 8-12 through tomorrow.
It’s sleet here now, hopefully will turn soon.

yea this storm is a beast. will be very interesting to see how this all shakes out and what sort of snow i find saturday. our plan is DV on saturday. we stay at base of snowbird sunday night to weds morning and ski 4 days there. colorado friends with our car are stuck and cant drive safely til middle of night friday>sat. i rented a basic ass car. if i end up solo saturday, i think the move is skip DV and head straight to altabird for post storm skiing.

On a Saturday powder day, given recent IKON'ic history you better hit the canyon before even the early birds start looking for worms.

If you do hit DV, it's WC weekend, so the bumps on Champion and Know You Dont will be amazing.

That Deer Valley WC moguls competition I referred to is starting now on Olympic Channel for those who are interested. I LOVE moguls comps.

Was at Deer Valley this week when SLC got a foot. DV and Park City got maybe 2”. It was sunny and 40s Sunday, then 0 to 10 F M - T. I heard it dumped at Alta. Oh well.

Snowbird Entry 1 got slid, buried under 9 feet. No Alta or Snowbird again today, BCC will be a shitshow.

Jackson Tram line is already full an,hour before they open...if it even opens on time. If i were there I'd head up to Saratoga Bowl and have it all to myself.
