Snowbasin was lovely today. It was busy but not over the top. The snow was in good condition. Very impressed with the mountain. I can see it would be a favourite of mine if all open.
Alta tomorrow.

Local primary tv weather guy is calling for a very snowy January. At this point I'll take whatever stoke's out there.
I hope so-

I think she knows but she's playing 'em close to the vest.What does the parrot have to say about that?
I realized how much my routine is based on crowd avoidance when today I broke my own rules and ventured onto Main St. late afternoon to get a boot issue addressed and then went to the grocery. 5 more days tick tick.

Now is no time for your bird to get all cheeky! This is serious stuff!
I had two fairly short but 100% untracked powder runs yesterday. It was wind packed and the consistency of creamed cheese but it was good nonetheless.
Who is your local weather-guesser of choice?

He was pretty excited about the pattern change that seems to be setting up for us starting middle of next week.
In the meantime, I take early morning runs for about an hour or so to dial in some boot changes, adapt to my shorter skis, and enjoy the smooth groomers before the hoards hit.
Sorry to hear about the crowds . I'm sure that fancy new 6pak lift does a great job of funneling them all into Scare Hollow five times as fast as ever before ;( . I would also guess that Little Cat is jammed first thing with everyone trying to get to Wildcat? I don't want to sound like a broken record but "Adding new lifts without increasing skiable terrain is never a good idea." Hopefully they've at least been opening the upper parking lot first thing..., yeah right .The snow is great, the crowds suck. I get so tense when I ski and it's so crowded.
Packing up today for the return to Utah. I guess there's no hurry.
Actually, people are not using the Wildcat lift that much! It's become my go-to, as Herbert's is one of my favorite pitches to work on things on. Scare Hollow is thinning out now (relatively speaking) with people skiing out and in/in and out, and also Wildcat Bowl. School Hill finally doesn't feel like the 405 in L.A. at rush hour, either. Little Cat went down today, though!Sorry to hear about the crowds . I'm sure that fancy new 6pak lift does a great job of funneling them all into Scare Hollow five times as fast as ever before ;( .

This as what happens when you sell 20,000 season passes. At least that's what I heard they sold last year, probably more this season. I bought the premier pass this season because I'd heard that it was not busy during the blackout period. Do you have any idea what the daily skier count has been this week?
