RidgeRacer Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 In approximately 72 hours JFSkiDan and myself are en route to the great State of Utah. Skiing Monday - Wednesday,. Mountains TBD but looking like Bird is the word, most likely Brighton and possibly Solitude or Powder depending on how much it snows. Speaking of snow, forecast is looking decent right now... Monday - Chance of snow 90%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Monday Night - Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. Tuesday - snow later in the day. High near 25F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. Tuesday Night - Cloudy with snow. Low 23F. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches. Wednesday - High near 30F. Chance of snow 60%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. Keep it here for what should be the finest thread this side of the internet.... 7 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I'm going March 7-14. Really excited. Canyons and Park City. Gonna try and do a little hiking too. We almost ended up going that week. Didn't pan out. Forecast at Solitude below. Looks like snow totals may be going up...Wednesday in particular is shaping up nicely. Dan may have been onto something with that whole buoy thing. We'll see. Monday - Chance of snow 90%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Monday Night - Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches. Tuesday - snow later in the day. High near 25F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. Tuesday Night - Cloudy with snow. Low 23F. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 5 to 8 inches. Wednesday - High near 30F. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. Edited February 3, 2017 by RidgeRacer Quote
momskeeztoo Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Sounds like you're going to have a great trip. Post plenty of pics! 3 Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Seems like all the cosmic tumblers in the world may be coming together to hand out some freshies for our trip. From Wasatch Snow Forecast...... Sunday is a break day. Next storm pushes in late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Snow will fall in the mountains on Monday with snow levels between 6-7k feet. So the snow will of a dense variety. Still, we could get some fairly significant totals. 06z 12km NAM portrays up to 20″ of snow on Monday for the Upper Cottonwoods: Univ of Utah So both Monday and Tuesday could be good skiing. Tuesday is a another break between waves. The next push of moisture will move in Tuesday night into Wednesday. Confidence in this wave is still low as some model runs have been weaker with this wave and push the moisture farther north. Still, I think it’s likely we will see another wave of high mountain snowfall on Wednesday with chance for some decent accumulation. 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Posted February 4, 2017 Looking like our flight may be broadcasting the Super Bowl if we have overhead TVs. Bringing multiple devices and extra juice just in case. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Posted February 5, 2017 If Mother Nature came to us and said "Hey Fellas...I know you're going out to Utah, tell me when you'd like it to snow" I'm fairly certain the forecast would look exactly the same as what Dan just posted. 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) No sleep last night...on complete overload. Snow totals have increased again. Looking at a few inches today but 7 to 10 overnight and up to another 7 to 10 during the day tomorrow. Damn! Snow for today looks minimal. up to 3 total. Looks like Brighton will be our locale.

RidgeRacer Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Posted February 6, 2017 Welcome to Utah...Ridge I think you are the only Patriots fan I know. I still can't believe we won that game. Years from now I'll be telling my grand kids about that game and where I was when it went down (on a flight with JFDan watching on a laptop courtesy of the airline's in flight TV). We timed the layover in Chicago perfectly (halftime). Fools there were laughing and making jokes cause I was rocking my Brady jersey and shit looked dire at the time. The dude scanning tickets kept repeating the score on the mic to razz me and the flight attendants were making jokes as well. I told the guy that it's not over and the D Bag laughed. Who's laughing now!! You can CASH ME OUTSIDE cause we're world champions! 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2017 Report Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Almost every big game thats lopsided at halftime the other team comes back and ties it. I'm not a big sportsball fan but it was the same thing in that penn state bowl game. Your grandkids won't care about the game they'll be more into the flying car races and robot Olympics. I'm out of touch with football but saw that Tom Brady is about the oldest pro football player to still be relevant so that makes it more impressive. 39 years old wow just wow.

RidgeRacer Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Posted February 7, 2017 Brighton in the books. Great day. Snowbird tomorrow for what looks to be a serious powder day. Calling for upwards of a foot and a half between now and COB tomorrow. That's similar to the last time I skied Bird which was a sick day to say the least. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Where are you guys staying?? Quote
momskeeztoo Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Ooooooo. Wishing I was there now. Hopefully beginning of March will be just as good. I'm really excited. Never skied out west. Quote

Never skied out west. There's no way it won't be good...it's either gonna be sunny or snowing. how many days are you skiing in Utah MamaSkeez? Quote
momskeeztoo Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Leaving here the 7th return the 14th. May take a couple days to hike. Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Staying at the Crystal Inn. Decent place, good breakfast, and a light dinner. You could actually stay here without renting a car. They have an airport shuttle, and they do some shuttles for dinner. Without a car you can ride the bus, but im not a huge fan of being on someone elses schedule. A few more pics from today. 5 Quote
