Still dumping up here, and its the good stuff this time. Im not sure what % the snow is, but its very low density, the stuff would just hang in the air after a few turns
Awesome to know this... need the dry fluff in my life somethin' fierce... just hope it holds up until Wednesday......................seems so far away.

it would have been nice if the storm started out a little wetter. There is still a vicious rain crust exposed in places and lurking close to the surface in other areas.

Killer day im sure. Soli=LOVE
we went on day 1, so we know about the bird, and this isn't is our first trip either so we've gotten it good in past years. no matter how much they get tonight it's just hard for me to wanna go there to end the trip. the entire resort literally tracks out in 2 hours on good days so you may get 3 of the best runs of your life and the rest of the day is mediocre as far as fresh snow goes (apart from hiking) imo.
i think our mind is pretty much made up, plan of action: brighton. personal goal: land some big boy drops. stoked for one last day.

While it has been many years since I skied Snowbird, I was surprised to hear that it gets tracked out so quick. I hope to get back out there in a few years. I guess it has just gotten a lot more popular. Thanks for the pics keep them coming!

snowbird holds the fresh if you know where to look. think baldy, armpit, gad 2, keyhole area, defiance ridge, triads
