getting to head to Deer Valley in 2 weeks - first trip out west (been a east coast skier) - seems like there are still runs not open - is that normal for this time of year? Looks like at Chrsitmas time yall got a lot of snow-but nothing since then.
Trail status looks pretty good to me: https://report.mtnfeed.com/deervalley.htmlgetting to head to Deer Valley in 2 weeks - first trip out west (been a east coast skier) - seems like there are still runs not open - is that normal for this time of year?

Just don't look at the GFS 10-day. Basically no snow in the picture.Trail status looks pretty good to me: https://report.mtnfeed.com/deervalley.html
You are correct, plenty good snow over the holidays, dry spell right now. But 2 weeks is a good amount of time for some fresh snow to re-enter the picture.

I'm sorryYah. The midwinter inversion has set in very strongly in the Salt Lake valley and looks to stay for a good long while. Today was supposed to be a day to scour the particulate pollution from the Wasatch Front and it definitely didn't.
I'll be in the mountains tomorrow (Solitude) as a necessary mental break. It's been a tragic week for me.
I remember my first year living in Ogden during a long inversion. I would come home from work every day and everyone in the apartment complex seemed grumpy and in a bad mood. I would try to convince them that they just needed to grab lunch or whenever they had a chance and drive up the canyon to the sunshine for an hour and they would feel better. After that winter I knew I needed to try to live above it.Times like these, I feel bad for non skiers. They never get to rise above the inversion.
That is what I call living in the catbird seat!! Enjoy.Pretty and pretty ugly at the same time from where I sit…

Definitely getting really thin out there. Hit an embedded rock on the second pitch of Sweet Revenge. Lots of twigs poking up there, too.Utah...the Greatest (dirtiest and not much) Snow on Earth.
