So Monday morning I went to Brighton, and looked back at the Summit lift tower at Solitude where I had been the day before.
Brighton was empty as well, although why snowboarders weren't filling this place up, I really don't know
These features do not come cheap
Brighton had the most beautiful sled/snowshoe to accomadation. These would be something to rent for a week
Terrain was as challenging as you wanted
It was cold the night before, oh like -17', maybe -5 here and I was wearing skull-crushing rental helmet, left mine in SLC; life is hard on the stupid/carefree
Then there was the whole Millicent side. Conditions were really difficult. It was so cold that skis gripped the snow as if on slush, shop techs I skied w/ said it was impossible, no wax no nothing could make skis glide. You could not even skate on traverses.
So Mili was so stiff and the steeps were tracked and firm so you fell into whatever had come before. I found it challenging
Hey SkiNC it's another Powerline
Basically I will say that I did not like the while Milli side, but I did like the runout with unlimited small strange hits
The other side at Brighton is the Great western Lift -- it was better IMO that day
And such a sweet classic ski bar. I missed my five dollar bus and hitchhiked down for free w/ the manager of the rental shop who told me what I was doing wrong with the toe piece adjustment on my Baron's
