The Wasatch Thread: Skiing and Riding in Utah

[BenedictGomez]

yikes that is more than the double the current temp in PA riexpiration.

Went for a gorgeous shorts & t-shirt family walk tonight.

If the skiing sucks on Friday I'll call it a season & go trout fishing on Saturday & hit the local mountain biking trails.

I've reached the stage of acceptance.

I went fishing after skiing today can believe how low the water is already from lack of runoff

I'm heading out there next Friday. Was hoping to do the Gunbarrel 25 at Heavenly on Sat, but that's cancelled due to low (maybe no) snow in that section. It would have been interesting to see how many laps my kids could have pulled off. I suspect it would have been a lot more than me. Looks like higher up stuff should be okay while we're there. Kirkwood still 100%, so that's good. Will also hit Northstar and June for a day.

Apparently a bunch of Canyons lifts (The 3D lifts, Peak 5, QuickSIlver) will close at 2pm today. That might be it for them or they'll try to run them one last day tomorrow.

It’s spring so the game changes a little bit. Went up to Copper today. 82 in Denver yesterday and today but it fell below freezing up at 9000 last night so opening runs are hard and slick. Started about 9:30 and rran around lower groomers for about the first hour and a hall while the snow softened. About 11:30 the corn harvest began and it was bumps on Copperfields, Little Burn and then a few rums up on High Sierra. Knocked off about 1:45 as things got a little too sticky but those 2-3 hours of spring bumps were awesome

Snowbasin still had plenty on parts of the mountain. Not lower strawberry (which is still open).

This really didn’t age well.

Snow coverage is just one piece of the pie.

Much of their terrain is even lower elevation than Park City. I figured they'd struggle. PC is getting cooked too.

Hence saying I was wrong…
