In line for the 1st chair at Snowbasin the guy next to me told me that Powder mountain had shut down for the day for windhold and avy work on the road. There was not much wind at Snowbasin so we thought it pretty lame that Powder would close the day after getting over a foot of snow on the 1st Sunday of pass holder only weekends in February. He called him Greid Hoffman :) His thinking was they can't sell $211 day tickets so why open for just the passholders?

The road to PowMow is a bitch. But that seems weird to close completely.

Quoting from the article:
In that zone, development is basically limited to seasonal cabins ... because most of the homes are expected to be second homes, they would qualify as “seasonal cabins.”

I’m sure that was the intent of the original writers of the zoning law

That line made me laugh.
