UTAH PowMow/Snowbasin/LCC/BCC 3/15-22 2016

Starting this thread for our UT trip...sitting in the airport now. Looks like a storm rolled thru with some new snow then sun and some warm temps second half of the week. We'll see how it plays out...have tix for Snowbasin, PowMow, Snowbird, Solitude then gonna wing it on the other days depending on what deals can be found.

Will post pics throughout the week.

My buddy just got back and said PowMow and Snowbasin were skiing great.

Excellent great news just touched down in SLC

Awesome day today - boot deep snow and no crowds.  Great terrain at Snowbasin

How do you not post sideways pics via mobile?

iPhone?  With an iPhone it seems you have to keep the bottom of camera at the bottom of the shot.

For some reason it seems like droid pics are always right side up.

Or maybe use a laptop to post.

Sorry it sucks, thanks for the effort.

Yeh it's an iPhone




Went to Shooting Star Saloon - bus pulls up and the whole place gets filled up with Backcountry Magazine and their gear testers...turns out they are out here at PowMow testing AT gear for Septembers gear review issue.

Powder Mountain today was unbelievable...woke up and checked snow report, 0".  Snow reporter must have been drunk or called out sick because we showed up to Hidden Lake Lodge in total whiteout conditions and pounding snow.  Must have been a foot of fresh.  Skies cleared somewhat ands we had an awesome day.  First time at PowMow even though we've skied UT for years...def coming back


It was crowded!...

Awesome, Mike.  I'm making PowMow and Snowbasin a priority for my next Utah trip.

Snowbird today - no fresh snow but bluebird skies. A little firm and chopped up but some good snow in the trees.

Nice! headed to Brighton / solitude for Easter break. Taking my son for his graduation present

The locals will tell you that for several days after a powder day the good stuff is in Tigertail. Traverse way out and enjoy.

Took a day off today and went for a hike in Park City. Staying with our friend who lives out here these are some of the trails right in his neighborhood @ 7000ft

Yeah, skiing at PowMow is probably the most fun I've ever had.  Glad you enjoyed it!  If you get a chance go up to Beaver Mtn. - another hidden gem with endless powder/tree skiing options.

Hanging out with the bourgeoisie at Deer Valley...comp lift tix from our friend and lunch in the pack...groomer day today...we definitely are dirtbags at this place....
