Got back Monday night from SLC. In addition to looking at houses (no luck at all ) and going to a work party, I got in 4 great days. Went to Solitude Friday with my friend who lives there. Snow was great even though it was close to 40 degrees and sunny. They had a nice week with 11" Wednesday night to Thursday. Spent most of the day in the woods off of Summit and Sunset.



Another sunny day at Brighton Saturday. My wife, who does greens and blues, was enjoying the top of the Snake Creek lift, so we spent a lot of time there. Really awesome tree runs on both sides of the two blue and green runs. I could spend a whole day there. We also found a run named "Ziggy" which is the name of a foster husky we have right now. Rode Great Western towards the end of the day. Might be the best views I've ever seen on the mountain. The peaks across the way are so close.





Sunday at Snowbird was my only full day (even though I didn't get there until 10
) Spent most of the day in the Gad Bowl and did a few runs in Mineral Basin. A fantastic day topped off by a 4:00 run through the creek off Peruvian. The snow was still pretty good but starting to get crusty.






Went back to Solitude Monday morning, the decided to take SolBright for the first time. Made it all the way to Great Western again and explored the Aspen groves until I had to leave. It was really crusty in there, but the good news was snow was falling and a big storm was on the way.





With that, my season is closed. Until next year...

That’s a proud 30K at @ The Bird. Good on ya.

Snowbird rips. Steep enough to get some vertical footage, hot nasty speed and air time.

Heading to ski in Utah for the first time St. Patty's weekend and read all this and looked at the pictures thinking it was all Park city peaks/areas. Didn't realize there was so much to do in Utah. I guess if we like Park city we'll look at giving these a try too in the future.

Wife and I loved skiing Whistler 10 or so years ago. The mountain was great, village was lacking in good food and drinks. Sorry to hear it might not be holding up?
