Finished up my pass with a day at Sun Valley Saturday. Nowhere else I've ever skied has 3000 vertical feet of skiing with no plateaus, you're turning them the whole time down the mountain.

I skied Park City on Friday. The sun was out and the high was over 60F. I put on plenty of sunscreen. Some ladies were skiing in bikini tops (I hope they put on plenty of sunscreen)
It was definitely spring skiing, with lots of slush at the bottom of the mountain while at the top it was mostly groomed stiff snow. The gondola over to Canyons was open but a lot more lifts and runs were closed on the Canyon's side. Still, it was fun.Comment

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Skied Alta this morning. There was 14" new snow but it was on top of an icy/hardpack base on the groomed runs and a few rocks on the non-groomed runs. Still, it was decent skiing for the day before Thanksgiving. Only two lifts were open so it was a bit crowded waiting for the lift line, but it wasn't too bad. I got 5 runs in by noon after which my quads were completely shot so I called it day.
Most places are partially open now. Snowbird opens tomorrow. Deer Valley opens on Sunday.Comment

I understand the Park City Ski Patrol strike has ended. Hallelujah! I was there yesterday on the Canyons side. There has been real limited terrain open this year and the lift lines during the holiday break were out of control. We were planning on skiing there last week and opted out. Looking forward to getting back there sometime as they get more terrain open. A day spent on the Canyons side between Iron Mountain and the Tombstone lift can downright be a piece of heaven!Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

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.

Hit June Mountain today. It is a ghost town after the busy weekend. Snow is really thin, but having the place to ourselves makes it awesome. Really cold.Comment

You have to reserve and pay for parking on the weekends. So plan ahead. They release the spots over a week ahead of time.Originally posted by Joe Public View Post
It has such a weird layout for a mountain. All the beginner terrain is way up near the west summit. You take a gondola to get to the green runs. And they are really flat. Seems like a good beginner area.
The rest of the mountain is pretty steep and varied terrain wise.
Do you have an ikon pass?Comment

We would go probably on a Monday/Tuesday and spend our time up there in that green area. Thanks for the parking info - I’ll check and understand what the rules are on the days we go.Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
We do have Ikon passes (base pass). It’s been warm and dry at the Big Bear resorts this year.
