snoskier Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I'm out in utah this week listening to a cascade of avy cannons. We are currently in the lodges bc they have shut down the mountain bc of too much snow. This am we hit snowbird they were reporting 12 but was 20+ + blown in. We got about the 5th tram and had face shots from the top. At mid mountain we got the news that they were shutting down the mounatin. Thus the question what is one run in knee and thigh worth? (Remember I'm 6'3" so when I say deep were talkin deep. I'm in for 52 today and it was totally worth it! They might re open at one. My fingers are crossed. They are calling for 30 inches by wednesday am. Stoke! Snoskier Quote

nick malozzi Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Awesome..I think that run is worth tree-fiddy..but it's a shame you didn't get 10 powder runs today. How many more days are you out there??? Oh yeah and I always choose skiing powder over sex.. You have to be given both options to consider it a choice doug. Quote
nick malozzi Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I've turned down sex before..never powder.. Not really a rebuttal. Quote
kragan Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Hope it keeps up. I'll be out there first week of March. Quote
snorovr Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 So even though I am insanely jealous, I thought it was dope that my company had MSP's Claim on at lunch in the cafeteria. Never expected to walk into the cafeteria and see a ski movie from this season playing on two tvs and over the loudspeakers... Maybe the whole job thing ain't that bad if they keep this up... Quote

Johnny Law Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Your interlogged which sucks, tomorrow you will be fine, it sucks but check out what happened to GMD a few years back. The good thing is this snow is on pretty stable snow pack so things should be total boner city once they take care of a little work Quote
train36 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Utah late February and early March, I don't think there is place I would rather be that time of year. I wish I could get out there this year but can't. Have a friend getting married on an island so my vacation money is already spent. Will be back in Salt Lake next year definitely. Quote
Johnny Law Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Your Open = $$$$$ I heard 16 today Quote
snoskier Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 Now that I am on my friends computer I will post something a little better. I am out for the week sat to sat. They got snow friday / sat. I got in saturday pm. On sunday we skied Alta. It was sweet my buddy knows some locals so we hit up some hidden stashes. Sunny and clear skies. Monday we hit snowbasin which had hardly been tracked up. We did our part.... Today - we hit snowbird. At 530am they had 12 inches reported but by the end of the day 20. They had a delayed start and didn't open until 1015. We got up top about 1045-50 and the only run open was the one under the littlecup double. We got to the double and were told that the mountain was closed. We stopped briefly at the mid gad lodge (I'll post pictures of everyone milling...) We then went to the bottom and played in the trees all the way down. It was great. Got to the bottom about 1130. By noon patrol was done with thier sweep and they ushered everyone inside the lodges. Then it was like Nam... they were shooting everything... about 1250 they opened back up and we took gadzoom to littlecup and lapped that a couple times, but they put it on a wind hold so we ducked down to gadzoom and played in the trees more. about 4-6 more runs off zoom. We took one notable traverse and found a mostly untracked gully (2 people before us...) it was knee deep to thigh deep - crazy fun. The drop in was one of the hairier things i'd every done. All in all great day. Tommorrow will be crazy going to snowbasin which between 5pm yesterday and 5pm today picked up 29.8 inches. It is still snowing!!! I picked up a pair of volkl kuro's which are 132 underfoot (i think) ... should be fun.... ss Quote
