We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

I don't know what you're going to study, but I bet the University of Utah has your program. :)



SR, I hope you all are getting hit with this storm like we are.... 10" today so far with more coming- just in time for a 3-day weekend!

11" overnight of snow in the 8% density range, so it was nice turning. We were hoping for a little more but it was nice to have bluebird pow in the morning even though it was supposed to snow all day. The skiing the last few days was pretty terrible so it was refreshing just to get in powder again. The lines were insane this morning, but I think it was a lot of presidents day crowds because it was the longest line of the season, but nothing got tracked out any quicker. There were a lot of people struggling today. I hit wildcat jump a couple times today and tried my first spin of the season and threw a decent 3. I over rotated slightly but still skied away from it. powder landings are a great change from jumps in nc with icy landings, its also cool hitting a natural feature. There were some sick tricks getting thrown today; backflips, big 3's, 5's, and rodeo's were all sent and stomped. At this point there are several big storms forecasted to hit the mtns in the next few days so there should be some more good skiing

Trust me, longer in school is a better thing. Being all grown up and having a job that pays well sounds like a really good thing but it's not all its cracked up to be.



In other words, you only get one chance to be young; take advantage of it.

Today was the kind of day I will remember for a long time. Woke up to about 16" of absolute blower that came in with pretty much no wind, and it nuked all day. I skied supreme almost the entire day, the crowds were minimal and there were areas that got entirely overlooked for some reason. the top of spiney chutes area was one of those areas. I have never received more faceshots than I did today, and one of them was my biggest facial yet--think firehose of snow aimed at your face. I can't remember a day with this kind of combo of super low density blower and a lot of it. untracked areas were close to waist deep. Keyhole was beyond words, it was absolutely stupid deep. Words can't really describe today. I took the last 4 days off after I got a violent stmach virus on sunday night, so I was feeling pretty rested and most importantly my ongoing shin bang is totally gone. I hit the diving board under the supreme chair (if you've ridden supreme chair you know what I'm talking about) 3 times as well as a few other drops in supreme. Snow was so deep and light and my shin bang was gone so it was impossible not to send some stuff. I'll get some pics up soon. it would have been a sick day for pics but no one was stopping or skiing with cams.
