Only did 5 runs off of Milly, before ending my first day( nice thing above the weekday season pass). Snow was very nice and soft, but crowds were heavier than I felt like dealing with due to the recent snow and being Friday. I'm also tried after a long travel day after working in the morning before heading off to my 2pm flight at Newark(awake for 21 hours before getting to my hotel). Current plans for the rest of the trip ... Sleep/relax today, Powder Mountain on Saturday, maybe Sundance on Sunday (or disc golf somewhere), and Brighton monday-friday before flying home on Saturday. ( I will not try to top any other previous reports, but hope to at least post a few pictures) Nice have a blast...a lot of people will enjoy your reports and pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Johnny Law Posted March 15, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Got here last night, skiing DV as I can wake up at 830 and make first chair at 9. Warm, currently working overtime on my Goggle tan. Groomers were firm and smooth first thing and now turning to a delicious slush. Off trail was brutal boilerplate but maybe late afternoon I'll see if it's soft. Empty run after run and oysters at the top, fine living for a Monday. 13 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcklein31 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I will get to some recaps of boarding one of these nights... but I did eat at the Bohemian Brewery in Midvale tonight can't complain about pierogis/brats and Dopplebock beer. I will likely be back before the end of the week! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcklein31 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I will just say.. Milly looks much nicer with 4 inches of fresh snow and with no lift lines yet. .. and fun fact; just saw the guy from Bored Progression YouTube filming a video. Nice!

Though I didn't care for that one green run to skier's left as there's a big uphill segment, but I went through the woods instead and got around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even harder to make the uphill in the powder. That is the nice thing about Milly, from what I've seen they always leave it completely ungroomed after snow. The first two runs I was able to find completely untouched areas pretty following skiers left to the bottom. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I was going to get cliffed out the first time but it opens up nicely if you keep going. I'm jealous as I didnt have any powder during my trip Edited March 16, 2021 by saltyant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcklein31 Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think I just experienced age discrimination at Brighton today 🤔 As I went through a scanner for a lift a lady with an ipad approached me. She asked me my age .. I hesitated (needed to do the math).... Sorry after a point I forget how old i am without thinking about it. She asked me why I had to think about,, when I told her I was doing the math from 2020 to 1977,, she accused me of using someone else's pass! No, sorry I'm just stupid!

I should learn by now, it has snowed the day I've been scheduled to fly out for all three of my Utah trips.. luckily I've been able to extend with little cost every time. Legs are dead--never got into great shape this year--(goal for this off season).

It’s much different skiing variable and steep western terrain on legs accustomed to 1 minute long groomers here. Where did you stay out there?

Thanks... appreciate it I stay in various Marriot hotels in the Salt Lake City area(mostly Residence Inns so I have a cooktop and full fridge) . I will usually stay a few days downtown, but normally in the Murray/Midvale/Cottonwoods Heights. I'm thinking about trying to stay a few nights up at the resorts for next year's trip(s).
