I laughed at today's Snowbird Snow Report.

Another mountain offering free stuff. From what I've seen of Saturday crowds this season, and assuming it's that bad everywhere, I'm not surprised it's come to this.
Yesterday and today at Snowbird were both busier than expected. I heard that Saturday was busy. A lot of folks visiting from out of town.
Conditions at both Alta and Snowbird are pretty rough on the main runs. You can only groom cement so many times.......
‘It’s horrible’ — Utah snowpack hits worst levels on record
Is Utah losing its reputation for having the "Greatest Snow on Earth?"
Remember, this is an eastern ski forum. You don't have to remind us how many times you can groom cement.
Considering the season you’re having, maybe some have forgotten

Bring some carving skis along with your wider skis. There are worse things then low crowds, firm chalk and bright sunshineGuess I'll have to bring my rock skies..that's all I own.

Just in time I land in Idaho Sunday and they’re looking to catch snow during the same timeframe.

Well you're timing it right because the next forecasted storm is a day or 2 after you arrive, and then supposedly the pattern switches to this part of the world's favor.

I’ve given up on Powder Buoy….now renamed “Groomer Buoy.” No joke.

Me thinks that people’s reaction is a bit dramatic. One bad season and that’s it the reputation is shot? Oh well maybe all the dreaded crowds will die down. (Sarcasm off).
I’m bummed that Colorado snow pack is at its lowest point ever but don’t think it’s a new normal. There is still skiing out there and I’m still going out in March and have no regrets with my investment out there.
It does look like there could be a pattern change on the way and March and April are usually the snowiest months of the year at least in Colorado. I will not abandon the ship.

Oh trust me, the cement never completely disappears out here. Especially when we get western dry snow, that doesn't really groom into the frozen cement base at all.Considering the season you’re having, maybe some have forgotten

Im finding off the trail is better than on at alta.
And devoid of people in certain areas.

We did it!
Yeah, I explored a little bit the last two days and had mixed results. Some decent turns over in Gad 2. Upper Silver Fox was meh. At Alta I also had some meh conditions over in Supreme.

Another Alterra discount (albeit kind of a crappy & weird one, but any Deer Valley discount's kind of surprising).
