A lot of fun in the trees Broken Heart, White Bark, Single/Double Jack with a few Challenger runs mixed in as well. Fi...

[img]https://i.ibb.co/SvYkBvq/20240328-125124.jpg[/img] It was an awesome day outside of the whole lightning hold. Must have snowed 3-4 inches during the whole thunder snow event, the mountain got 7-11 inches counting what fell last night. Had a few untouched runs down broken heart, the wind and ...

One of my best ski days ever was in the middle of April at Copper. Powder everywhere, with free refills all day off the Three Bears Lift. Getting excited for Big Sky, they've gotten over a foot of fresh snow over the past several days with another 7-10 on the way. ...

Just bought my 24/25 Ikon pass. One last trip for this season, going to Big Sky for a few days at the end of March. Was in SLC last weekend, had a fun powder day at Brighton. [img]https://i.ibb.co/bzd1mN0/brighton.jpg[/img] Skied the Great Western lift most of morning and had some rea...

[quote]Enjoy the powder days tomorrow and Sunday guys[/quote] The powder was awesome, it dumped all day yesterday at Winter Park. Crowds were crazy but I had some fun runs in the Eagle Wind area and finished the day over on the Mary Jane side with bumps and trees. It was a free refill of powder k...
