Pretty sure we'll be at Alta on Saturday. Might be a poor decision crowd-wise, but at this point, the chance to get another day in is more tempting. Besides, biking will be a no-go for several days because the trails even at 5000 are snow covered with a LOT of snow!

Oh man. Everyone please do your part to keep Jerry off of Collins
lines are long enough - if you cant handle the bottom part of the current groomer you have no business on that side of the mountain

Possibly the best pow day of April at Snowbird today, Apr 14, 2021. Seemed like about one foot+ new snow. It was heavy and got heavier as the day went on. But any snow is good snow at this time. There was about 6" new when I got there at 945am and there was about 8" more on my car when I left at 2pm.

Not sure i'd agree here ! April 6 at Snowbird with @Jim Kenney , my first UT day was damn nice with 10 inches overnight.
Back in tahoe now after 6 days in UT. But not sking for a week due to sis from E Oregon visiting.

Really excellent day today 4/15/21 at Snowbird. One of the better combination days for good snow and low crowds esp early and late.
These people wore me out

I may post a few more photos later.

I let Brandt know you were up with a bigger group the past few days. Riding Zoom I saw the red helmet-blue jacket and pink helmet and told him I thought I recognized from your previous days pics.
Brandt then pointed to the Green jacket charging downhill and said that guy looks 30, it’s Jim. Brandt calls it like he sees it

New snow and low vis all day at the Bird today. Started with couple braille laps on the Peruvian. Moved to Gad II for the rest of the day. Good snow and much improved visibility in the trees there.

Once more unto the breach. Dropping into Banana Gully for the umpteenth time.

So who are the premier ski tune shops in Salt Lake, Sandy area?

 

[Tony S]

Was just reminded why I don't usually visit this thread. Looks like you all are having a great week. @Jim Kenney always love seeing your pics.

I met my friend Brandt at Snowbird on Thursday and found soft turns all day.
Mrsjmills received a bionic arm in November and has been cleared by her doctor to ski.
Her first day of the season will be Sunday 4/18 with a plan to ski Alta.

This was not the best run of the day.

I have tried a few shops in the past few years and am happy I was referred to Andy who runs the shop inside the Alta Peruvian.
It’s almost Sandy

Sports Den on Foothill Boulevard (SLC proper) is a fantastic shop with great folks doing the tunes and all the latest techno wizardry gadgets. Local racers use their services.

The Lifthouse at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon is also a top notch tuning shop - again, great racing pedigree here, they know what they're doing.

@Rudi Riet, thank you.

 

[dovski]

Please put some of that POW on ice for us so we have some when we get to Snowbird mid-May

 

[BC.]

For future trips/dates just find out when/where @KingGrump is going to be.......his reports (as with @Jim Kenney) are always pure unadulterated stoke. They seem to always have incredible conditions....and look like they are having a hell of a lot of fun!

Thank you for the stoke.....

7even skis in South Salt lake . Todd does incredible work. After years of trying different shops its the only shop i go to - highly recommended

Here are a few more photos from Apr 15, 2021 at Snowbird. Good times with the Grumps!
Mamie skiing exit gully from Black Forest.

Carl in the trees beside STH

Bruce is smooth, smooth, smooth in the bumps

Local guy Brian showed me some nice stashes next to Peruvian chair.


PS: I got an indescribable feeling meeting the @KingGrump 's upon their arrival in Utah - joy, relief, life affirming - that things are almost back to normal. If they come to your town you will be blessed

Alta, Saturday or Sunday...Saturday or Sunday...Saturday or Sunday...
I have no idea how to anticipate crowds, with all the other resorts closed.

 

[Jim Kenney]

I think my son and I will be at Alta on Sunday for the end of the season Frank event, but not sure if they will even do that this year??
