    Last season lasted until May 13th, hopefully we get a longer season this time. After the season ended I quickly segued into camping and fishing, doing quite a lot of each from the spring into the fall. Got to float and fish a lot of new to me water, good times with good friends...

    Utah SLC area vs Copper-Aspen in February?

    I asked this in the Aspen thread too, but I want to get the opinion of you Utah fans too ;-) Would your pick be Copper/Aspen-Snowmass or Salt Lake City area for Presidents’ Day week? Why one over the other? Ikon Base pass. Skiing Friday 2/15 - Saturday 2/23.

    Skier Only Mountains

    What do you think about mountains that only allow skiers? Do these mountains do more business from making this decision, attracting more skiers, or lose business by eliminating half of the winter riders? How about conditions? Are the conditions that different? Mad River Glen Ski Resort. Deer...

    Should I be worried?! SLC trip...

    So, I have a trip planned to SLC Jan 6-13 and one to Banff the last week of Feb/first couple days of March. Originally I was undecided as to where to go first but the general consensus was SLC earlier..... Looking at on the snow, Sunshine is almost 100% open, meanwhile Snowbird only has 10/169...

    Utah Little Cottonwood Canyon 2017-2018, Reports, Pics, and Banter

    Today was the first day of operations for Snowbird, Alta has chosen to not open until conditions improve. The first day of the season started optimistically enough, I got up early and had plans on hitting the Bird about 7:45. I knew that wouldn't put me anywhere near the front of the line but...
