Sal Tlay Ka Siti 2021 - (Salt Lake City, UT)

[skiincy]

for the month’ish of January, I’ll be in SLC. I sang the Book of Mormon soundtrack on my drive and I googled Mormon underwear. So, I think I’m ready for an immersive experience. 
 

I work remotely but hoping to ski the ikon mountains on the weekend and, go touring & explore some of the local parks and trails on weekdays & blackout dates. 

does anyone have recommendations on the most do- Utah list? (I’ve already done the Red & Blue Iguana)

 

And, will anyone else be in Utah during January or February?

 

I found a super cute Airbnb in the Sugarhouse SLC area. Highly recommend if anyone is thinking of doing the same thing. Here’s the link. There’s a jetted tub and 3 shower heads. Pretty pumped for the post skiing soak. Outside, there’s a fire pit and the neighborhood is very walkable & close to the mountains. And the apartment is a seperate entrance from the main house so it feels more like a mother-in law suite.

my pass is blacked out until tomorrow. Most midweek days, I’m hoping to do some uphill at Park City since they allow it from 6pm-8:30am or hit up Brighton for night skiing. My next day reservations are at snowbird for January 7-8 with @Schif.

 

while on my drive from Colorado, through Wyoming, and to Utah.. I was looking at mountains that were near my route.

check out this logo of a Wyoming resort. Their history page is quite interesting too. I just can’t pick out my favorite Wyoming flair of it yet. Maybe it’s that their pricing lists out “adults n’ teens”. But also fascinating that you can rent out the mountain for $3k?!
 

Has anyone ever rode the pine?

Hahahahahahahah. I just had to Google it. Not what I meant. Fascinating memes and articles about it

Tours off the top of my head when they get snow.

Usa bowl

Roman's in Wolvey (you can cheat and go from brighton)

Bear trap Fork 

Circle All peak

Coalpit headwall

Greens basin (stay in the tight trees) 

Only the coalpit and Roman's are more dangerous, the others are safer tours.

So Fing jelly. Have a great time out there.

This morning was my first day back to work in 2 weeks 😑 midday, I went to the dog park to get Wally tired and someone recognized me from Petco on Sunday. It was just a reminder that as much as it’s a city - it still feels like a small town here.

I worked during the day, shut down my laptop, and drove the 30 minutes up to Brighton for some night skiing. I was able to pull into the first row and boot up in my front seat.

But, first, I needed to do a bathroom selfie. I was quite disappointed that no one else was singing Africa by Toto. I would have totally done the drum part.

 

it got dark quickly but never really that cold. This picture reminds me of a galaxy far, far away.

with the snow falling and the shadows (not the PASR shadow though), it was a pretty night. There were times where I was the only one on a run, there weren’t any lights, and I questioned if the run was even open. It’s fun exploring. 

This is at the top of the main lift (crest express), which reminded me that I should order some white strips. But, no one is likely reading this anyway.

As I was driving back to SLC around 7:30, fireworks we’re going off all over. Like real fireworks. Not the kind you hear from west philly during pandemics, looting, and rioting.

Turns out January 4 is Utah’s 125th statehood anniversary. Since @Justo8484taught us (err maybe just me) about soaking, here’s a new Utah fact in case anyone has big dreams of making it on Jeopardy. Did you know that Utah applied for statehood 7 times over 48 years??.

Tomorrow, hoping to stretch the legs and do a couple laps uphill at Park City or in the foothills. Hopefully they’ll be better pics.

WTGAI @skiincyway to get after it!!! Nice that you have a night skiing option..and Wally is definitely a well travelled Pup so WTGAI for him as well.  

 

And Oh Lordy on the soaking...I only know about it cause GSSucks spent two years in Utah.  Soaking doesn’t involve hitting it and quitting it or staying and playing so I’m not down with it like I’m down with OPP

Do the stats even matter? What happens if you don't track the vertical?

It's all about the stats. Stats is life. Why even ski without stats??

@GrilledSteezeSandwich Make sure you tell Schif to update his stats!

I just track days and sure it’s interesting to keep for your own records and for others to see where you’ve skied. Over the years you’ll be able to see what resorts you’ve skied and how many days at each.
