    80,000 Vertical Feet

    During my many years skiing at Snowbird, I have often found some pride in skiing as much vertical feet as possible. For a while, the best way to do this was to simply hit every single tram. This would equate to around 60-65,000 Vert (21-23 trams X 2900'). On a fast day, it wasn't too...

    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...

    Snowbird or Snowbasin for lessons?

    My 10 and twelve year old kids can ski most of the mountain but they're at me to let them try snowboarding because it looks 'so cool'. I think I will give them a couple of full day lessons when we're in Salt Lake. They will then see if they like it I guess. Would Snowbasin or Snowbird be the...

    For Those Who Fly - Colorado & Utah

    As someone who recently moved to the East Coast of the US for work, I am no longer a short drive away from my mountain, and I am forced to try and "plan ahead" on my ski trips. Anyone have thoughts/experience on what is the best skiing a human can do as close as possible to the Denver or Salt...

    Utah Alta/Snowbird Unofficial Guides?

    Does anyone have access to the unofficial guides for Alta and Snowbird that used to exist on EpicSki? I used them last season to acquaint myself with the resorts, and they really mapped out a nice approach to skiing these places. I have an upcoming trip with a couple of LCC noobs, and wanted...

    2018 Utah Gathering Lodging

    2018 Gathering Lodging & Transportation thread. Something new this year….a thread about lodging. It is designed to give first timers to Utah a little insight and perhaps give us all a way to better connect after skiing (for those in SLC mostly) and PERHAPS organize some carpools. For those of...
