A t-bar on wind hold takes a BIG wind!!!
50+ MPH gusts at the base yesterday. Enough wind can cause the Ts to wrap around the haul line and get caught in the next tower, but at that point, I think I'm okay with not being on the hill.

Today started off with a lot of stuff on hold but by 11 am, most lifts were open.

Right where I want to be
Yes. That was both the longest it's been windy and the strongest wind I've had in the three seasons here. It felt like Vermont everyday lol.
Even in SLC the dust was horrible. Looked like smoke in the air for days. So much so you couldn't see the mountains.
