Its the best powder day of my life!! We're at snowbird. I keep on meaning to post pictures, but we've been having too much fun. I will just have to do a trip report later . 20230330_120816.jpg

Ha. I sent a text to my friends earlier today and said exactly that.

Alta just got 15" in the last 24 hours--ho hum:ogbiggrin: It is really an amazing season out there.

Think I’ll sit this one out. Cue the LCC skiers who think that going to Snowbasin is going to be a better idea.

Anyone else going to be at Alta today? Might be hard with the road closed till who-knows-when. Its our last ski day for this trip. So far, the conditons out our windows here are whiteout and blizzard like. I can barely see condos across the lane.

Thinking about this afternoon, but will be road and weather dependent

Did Supreme lift open on Thursday?

With 40 inches in 36 hours (on top of a deep snowpack) and still nuking snow, I'd expect interlodge and road closure could be extensive. I wonder if 210 will even open today. Remember, there was a 15 foot deep by 300 foot wide avi that buried part of 210 last Friday.

Snowbasin parking is FULL and based on the UDOT cameras on Trappers Loop, it’s going to be a total shit show of people trying to get up there. They should really divert people in Mountain Green.

Not even sure they’ve spun any lifts yet, either.

A guy posted on a Snowbasin FB page that BCC was closed and should he head to Snowbasin. He was laughed at. Only 3 lifts spinning, accidents on Trappers Loop, now an accident in Old Highway that has stopped traffic in both directions. Multiple slide outs in the parking lots.

One thing you learn from living here is when to just stay home. I took one look at the snow stake this morning and radar and knew it was a good day to stay home and work.

BCC has yet to open. Large slide came down near Laurel Pines early this morning. All vehicles below Milepost 9 were required to turn around and exit the canyon. Will remain closed until at least noon. Solitude opened the Apex and Moonbeam lifts with staff on hand at 11:35 a.m.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
This week we reached "critical mass" at Alta in regards to snow depth. The Collins snow sensor can no longer measure base depth (240" is the max). Lift ops has dug out a trench for the return to Wildcat side at the top near Albion for the rope tow. The rope is dragging along the entire length of the tow and the towers cannot be raised further. Same with Snowpine and I believe Wildcat. 60% or so of the upper portion of the Collins lift needs to be dug out severely now with this storm. Not roped off, dug out. There is no more room to store parking lot snow at either base. It was fun times but now it is draining. And a HUGE tax on resources especially as hands become fewer and fewer as the season ends.
