  • Arghh.. going to Boise for Christmas this year. Is there anything worse with winter weather and no good places to ride? I'm also looking at you, Wisconsin. I know some wise acre is going to invoke the name of Brundage or launch a Bogus apology, but it's depressing to fly your winter gear to a non-destination-worthy spot.

      I like Brundage but it is as far from Boise to Brundage as it to Sun Valley. Brundage will never reach its potential because I doubt it will ever be enough and an end destination to overcome that it is too far from a major metropolitan area to get day skiers.

      Sorry Bro, I got two days lined up in Sun Valley and three days at the Canyons over Christmas break! I'll be thinking of ya!

      I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

        No, no one is going to argue that Bogus is a great place to ski/board. I'm going to try to hit Targhee when I'm in IF for Christmas, though!

              I really need to hit Sun Valley. That's officially on my to-do list. As for the 'ghee, you gotta take Teton Village every single time if the snow is right. Of course that's Targhee's calling card, but it bugs me that they charge locals destination resort prices to ride what is and should remain just a really awesome local mountain.

              • Level 9 having a sale on select stuff through today and tomorrow. one of the things that is crazy marked down is the DaKine Heli Pro. been wanting a new backcountry bag for a bit and these are going for $59 on sale (normally around $95). I had an extra $10 off coupon, so out the door cost me less than $50. i picked up the octane colorway.

                    • Working on an almost 8" base! Cancelled the NYE party, Christmas break represents about 30-35% of the season revenue. So I'm going to go ahead and hope it doesn't snow at all. Since it will come late and stay through May jacking my camp season.

                        I was at Alta yesterday, but with little kids do I didn't get to any serious runs. No new snow in a week, but the snow was just fine IMO. I overheard some guy talk about the runs off wildcat and he thought the snow up there was pretty bad.

                          I went to Alta on Thursday. I thought the snow was poor, but that is just me. I spent a couple of hours on Sunnyside and Albion with my son and he didnt mind because he was just plowing but once I headed up Supreme and Sugarloaf, it was all crud everywhere and a whole bunch of ice. There hasn't been any fresh stuff in a week. Not worth spending $80 or whatever it costs for a pass these days. Wait until it snows again or find a discounted pass.

                          • Thanks guys. I'm taking my sons, so the lower runs would probably be doable. But I usually need to sneak in a few runs up Snake Creek or Great Western...not gonna drop $70 to slide around on ice. I'll hold off.

                              That's an entirely different canyon and resort so I can't vouch for Brighton. Also, there is usually no reason to ever pay full price for a day at Brighton since there are discount passes everywhere for that place.

                              that being said, I'd hold off, too. I'm not going back up until it snows again, unless it is just ski after 3 with my kids.

                              • Got in a few days while visiting Utah. Hit Basin on the 20th after that big snowstorm and the snow was great (though with a limited base much of the mountain still wasn't open).
