High clouds moved through off and on today, filtering the Sun but letting enough through to illuminate some of the details. The temps. were still quite warm, even up on the hill, and the pack is being affected on all aspects regardless of the elevation as well. Groomers were offering the best lines of the day and, Middle and Lower Primrose path got the smoothing treatment, which made for some ground pounding fun. It was a private club again today with Canyon remaining closed, so it was a full on vertical fest for the folks on the hill.

Tomorrow, look for weather to have moved in as a cold front is on the door step, which will bring showers to The Valley and snow on the hill. Temps. will be dropping significantly, so, perhaps, the Canyon may be easing up on the slide issues. We’ll have to see how that shakes out. Check the Bird Site and links for more up to date details on the access. Hope to get back up there soon. IBBY!!!

It was very warm today, with temps hitting 80 here at The Trailer, and a stout South wind blowing, which made it feel at tad warmer. Up on the hill, the Canyon was still closed and the folks who were up there got to enjoy more country club days on the hill. Olivia Kennedy sent me a couple of spectacular shots from a flight over the Wasatch she got to take today.

Tomorrow, look for the Groomers to be offering the smoothest consistency on all available sides of the hill. There will still be private club traffic on the runs. Weather is in the forecast for the next few days with dropping temps and some snow associated with the front. We’ll have to see how it all shakes out. Stay Frosty!!

It was really nice and warm here at The Trailer today, where I broke out the shorts and sat outside and read. Up on the hill, the Canyon was still closed, so it was another day of country club skiing up on the hill. With this warmth, all the aspects are feeling the heat, and are morphing accordingly. Still, the high North is still holding the coldest feel, but it still has been affected non the less.

Tomorrow, the Canyon will still be closed, so check the Bird Site for exclusions and updates about access. It will be a great Spring skiing day on the hill, with the Groomers offering smooth lines top to bottom and unlimited vertical. With this much snow on the hill, there is no danger of a melt off exposing rocks and things. The hill is Fat and good to go. Hoping to get back up there soon. Dial it up, Dial it in!!!

Bright Sun illuminated the dance floor today, with plenty of cover with all the snow that was delivered. The upper mountain is super filled in, with all the Upper Cirque shots wide open with no reefs at all. Great Scott is as fat as I have seen it since 2011 after the big South wind storm. The groomers are offering the best consistency, however, the off trail is holding up nicely and not getting too worked over due to a total lack of traffic that it usually gets.

Tomorrow, look for more great spring conditions, with some crispy traction down on the lower mountain in the AM. The pack should soften up as the day warms up. We’ll have to see what is up with the road in the AM, so check The Bird’s site for updates and access. The Sun should still be out, but there is weather in the forecast, so wind may be an issue. Keep it tight!!!

The Sun is workin’ the pack with the direct Sun angle and higher temps, which is morphing the pack in a big way. Almost all aspects, with the exception of the High North is getting super manky, with crust and a very grabby feel. The Groomers are the best bet for smooth consistency and dialable turns.

Much of the hill has yet to be opened, however, when it does open, expect challenging conditions, especially where the Sun has a direct look at the pack. We’ll have to see what happens with the road in the AM, so check the Bird site for updates and time windows. The Groomers will be the place to find the best quality for the day. Traffic on the hill should be quite light with the access issues. Stay Frosty!!!

With the Sun out, the days are warmin’ up, but not too warm. The snow is melting down here at The Trailer, while we wait for work on The Canyon to be completed. Huge slides came down with even Coalpit coming out on the South side of the Canyon. Yikes. I have only seen that once before.

Tomorrow, we’ll have to see what is up with The Road. There is a lot of snow up on the hill, and after all this time, there is going to be a lot of variation in the consistency from aspect to aspect. I don’t have my finger on the pulse as it has been quite a while since I have been on the hill. When it opens, I expect amazing conditions, however I find them. This cycle has been just insane. Hope to see you up there soon. Yabaganza!!!!

The storm clouds and weather are gone and full Sun has taken it’s place revealing a Winter wonderland of Perfection wall to wall. The Crews have been doing an amazing job dealing with these historic events.

The hill opened briefly this morning, letting the few who were on deck for the occasion get treated to the goods. Instability issues closed the hill for the day and interlodge was reinstated. Huge slides have covered the Lower Canyon, so I have no intel. on when things might open, but I think it is going to be a bit yet. Look for more clear skies and perhaps an opening of the area tomorrow. We’ll see. Wild times!!! Straight Ahead!!!

It has to be truly epic to use the word epic without it seeming glib, but these days have been epic, topping off all the records across the board. The delivery just would not stop and the Teams were working hard to try and stay on top of the intensity. Amazing totals were reported and the attainment of the 800″ mark and beyond is just incredible. The shots I saw of the Lisa Falls deposition was insane. Holy Tamolie!!!

The Snowbird teams are working feverishly to get the hill open and it takes a lot of very committed folks to get the wheels turning. Tomorrow, expect delays going into the morning. Be sure to check the Bird site for up to date data. Those slides in the Canyon were just wild. When the hill does open it will be amazing indeed. Warming is in the forecast and Sun will be working the aspects, adding another element to the day. Thanks to all the folks that are working the problems and trying their best to make it happen. Stay Frosty!!!

A lot more Essence was delivered overnight and it kept coming all day as the lake effect kicked in. This new product was medium density and digging out The Trailer was a continuous job as it kept building up as the waves of intensity worked through. Up on the hill, interlodge was in effect all day and the Canyon road remained close for mitigation and clean up. The Mountain remained closed as well, with so much snow coming with such intensity. The Bird is reporting 792″ YTD last I looked and that is so close to the 800″ mark that I am betting, with tonight’s additional accumulation, will push the total over that mark. Yikes. And….. I was right about the Comet too!!!

Tomorrow, look for a slow start, with still no word on the Canyon opening. There will be ongoing mitigation efforts on the hill, so expect delays there as well. We’ll have to see how the energies of the system hold up and, perhaps, there may be some clearing. We’ll just have to see how it shakes out. What a season. Deep, deep and getting deeper!!!

The Canyon was closed for the day due to high slide activity. The Faithful were shut out, but the hill opened for the folks who were in the Village for the event. It snowed all day adding to the pack, but the visibility was very difficult with the fog that hung on the hill for this event. The UDOT team were working hard to get the road cleared after serious deposition occurred in numerous slide paths.

Tomorrow, expect continued closure of the Canyon as the storm is still centered just on the door step and there is a lot more snow upstream, which will move in overnight and during the day tomorrow. The conditions on the hill are deep and getting deeper, and I don’t expect the visibility to improve much, if at all. Expect delays on the hill as well as uncertain times on the Canyon opening. Be sure to check the Bird’s site for updates. There is a lot more to come so stay tuned. Don’t touch that dial!!!
