Had a perfect Bluebird fun day at Snowbasin. This time just with two co workers that are strong skiers.
It had snowed 5" a few days back plus another inch or do over night.. This is a big place but not as high as the Cottonwoods so we worked the numerous north facing shots. It got warm so the bottom was spring like. It was rocky in spots.
Best run of the day was when a local showed us the hike into a chute called Lone Tree. Very steep and hop turn tight. The local took the left chute leaving me to get in the right. Pretty freaky when my slough was pushing past me. It was a total rush to ski. That is the chute in the photo below taking from Needles Lodge.
And at the top of it looking down on the lodge. When you don't know what's over the drop it was a bowel tighting moment.

No TR about Snowbasin is complete without saying how great the facilities are. The lodges are like the nicest private country clubs and the customer service and food are world class.
