I agree, Alta was really good in the AM. Great start to the season.

I think I picked the wrong season to head to PNH. Wish I were coming again this year. I will be back, but having a kid in a few days means no heli skiing for me this year. And since AK is...

Can I call dibs on the job of ferry boat driver? The trip by boat from mecca (aka Points North) to the valdez tram sounds pretty good for down days.

There were a bunch of Aussies there the week we were up there. The two brothers we got to ski with were Sven and Anton. Or Sventon for those that couldn't figure out who was who.

Benk,
So how...

TR posted. Thanks to Points North for a great trip.

So now that the ski season in the Wasatch is finally winding down, I was reminded that it's about time I posted a TR from my trip to Alaska this March. It seems like just yesterday I was on here...

I'm not bitter with patrol for not getting the mtn open. I know patrol killed it this season, and I thank them every chance I get.
I am bitter with snowbird management for not seeing this coming...

In my opinion, the bird dropped the ball on today bigtime. They spend all week hyping all the snow they are getting and how they are the only resort in utah open. Then they stay closed because they...

what is this crap? The bird has been advertising how much snow they have/are getting and now they aren't sure if they are going to open?

How much does this have to do with the tram being closed,...

OK so this is only my second real POV edit. What do you think?

some of us just sit behind the desk until it snow. Then we get out and play. Today did not suck.

Have to agree. Today was beyond words.

Last I heard, the USU yurts were only going to be made available to USU students, faculty and alumni this year. There are a few BRORA yurts in the uintas, but they book in oct (at least for...

So, I have a friend heading up to Jackson for Thurs night/friday for work next week. I happen to have off on friday, so I am thinking of riding with him just ot hit jackson for a night and ski there...

Um, I do recall when alta put in the new collins lift, the snow came early and they got screwed. Had to open the mountain without it, and I believe it delayed the opening as well, just not as long,...

Nice to see. Heading to Cordova in March!

Now can someone explain to me why TGR charged my credit card 3 times for my ticket order?

Ok, so I booked a trip with PNH. I am thinking I want to get travel insurance for the trip. Has anyone done this? Recommended companies. Any advice?


Thanks,
Will

terrible scheduling. Same night as TGR movie at Jupiter Bowl in Park City.

What did you decide to do?

Apparently, you have never heard of Epic Brewing.... Not 3.2 and does not suck at all!

I used to by (and pick up at the warehouse) so much stuff that I had a box on the shelf with my name on it. They would just put my stuff in the box and I would go and pick it all up once a week. I...

Trip Booked: Points North Heli!

DW,
You serious? We may have a spot for you?

Thanks for all the info. Going to talk to my buddies and try to pull the trigger this week.

Awesome. Information overload, but in a good way. Points North is really sounding pretty good at this point. Still interested in ABA though. Need to take all the info back to the other(s) that...

Is VHC Valdez heli?

Ok, before everyone yells, use the search. I have and I have found lots of information.

I am leaning toward PNH or Alaska Backcountry Adventures. I have read some reveiws, and found a lot of...

Hey Bushwacker... I'de say its good to hear you are back in town, but with comments like that...

Go back to PA.

Heading up tomorrow... PM if you still need a ride.

Thats not it either. Its the cottonwood canyons foundation Deep Powder Pass. 30 days each at Alta/Bird/Soli/Brighton. And its fully transferrable. Can only use it once a day though.

Just a...

[QUOTE=jbach;2823718]http://www.visitsaltlake.com/ski/superpass/

Thats not it. I get 30 days at each.

FYI.
Soli was more crowded than usual today, but it did not suck. I usualy prefer LCC, but having a pass to all 4 cottonwood resorts does come in handy some times.

We were within the first 5/6...

Pivot Mach 5.

Nice Job Santa Fe! I love the one of me crashing on the air. Good times.

Good times! Learned a lot and had a blast. Plenty of win to go around.

Add UTskiHokie to the list. I will be there. Still not sure if I am staying up the canyon or at home though.

someone was doing it earlier this year at alta... and it was a big powder day.

Phatfree... you know its a crappy snow year, when I have spent a ton of time thinking about bikes!

But I still have hope.... but I think april will be a lot of fruita/moab trips.

Crinkle - I've actually been reading that thread, I just didn't want to hijack it to find out about the pivot.

It really does sound like the M5 is the bike for me. I'm not all that into freeride,...

ah the blur, I knew i left something off the list.

for some reason, I'm not stoked on the endorphin. Looked at it, but just not for me.

I may take you up on the blur ride gow.

I am in the market for a new AM bike. I am looking in the 5-6 in range. Right now the leading contender is the pivot mach 5. I have not riden on and am going off reviews at this point. Has anyone...

Nice! Looking forward to the Feb camp!

Has anyone heard an update as to the condition of the guy?

just keep in mind.. lone star taqueria, not lone star steak house.

I am headed up there in a few weeks. I have been checking out the avy report and saw a report on a nasty looking slide up there. I was curious if anyone here has been up there this year that can...

Very nice... I proposed to my (now) wife in Bryce in February (exact location at 2:45 in the video). Bryce is awesome in the winter!

I'de prefer just to do fri/sat night, but I might be able to swing thurs as well. I am out for a 4 day stay.

I'm likely in for sharing a condo.
