Powder Mountain, UT, Report: PowMow Has it All Report from March 26-27, 2024 Powder Mountain, Utah, stands out among American ski hills. It’s massive, multi-faceted, and has an exciting future. ‘PowMow’ was a cold, wintery paradise, even in late March. Our day began with a top-to-bottom run which was 95% fresh tracks. We quickly navigated from Hidden Lake Express Lift to the Paradise Chairlift. Built in 1999, the […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 27, 2024 1 Comment
Snowbird, UT, Report: Insider Knowledge to the Deep and Steep Report from March 25, 2024 Arriving after multiple powder alerts to Snowbird, Utah, had us out of the car nice and early. Light traffic to the base of the Gad Valley had us in the lot before 8:15 a.m. We spent most of our day in that valley with a couple of trips around the Cirque and a quick moment at […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 26, 2024 0 Comments
Snowbasin, UT, Conditions Report: Big Lifts, Many Turns Report from March 24, 2024 The Cottonwood Canyon traffic can be fickle, so we spent a happy Sunday at Snowbasin, UT.We were met by no crowds, sunshine, and some very deep turns. Some places were much deeper than the 7 inches indicated on the resort’s website. The top half of the John Paul Express was velvety. Long, untracked lines through […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 25, 2024 0 Comments
Solitude & Brighton, UT, Conditions Report: Sun on Fresh Report from March 16, 2024 It’s not every day that one casually gets to ride two ski resorts unless one is in the Cottonwood Canyons. Today, we were fortunate enough to split time between Solitude and Brighton in Utah. The resorts offer riders a unique experience by way of the Solbright pathway connecting two disparate ski areas. We started […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 17, 2024 0 Comments
Powder Mountain, UT, Report: Big is Best Report from Wednesday, March 13, 2024 Today was my first taste of Powder Mountain and it re-ordered my top ski resorts list. Having spent significant time in Oregon, British Columbia, Idaho, and Utah during the past few seasons, this hit different. PowMow is special; it is absolutely singular. I first heard about PowMow from my partner’s dad, who came here […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 14, 2024 0 Comments
Timberline, OR, Report: Oregon Powder Day Report from March 1, 2024 As a lifelong Oregonian who has toured around Timberline Lodge at least thirty times, today was the first time I rode the lower lifts. I spent two early August mornings on Palmer alongside the U.S. Ski Team, but those were desperation plays that could not have felt more different than today. The Pacific Northwest spent […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | March 4, 2024 0 Comments
Schweitzer, ID, Conditions Report: Trees on Trees Report from February 23-26, 2024 Schweitzer Ski Resort in Sandpoint, Idaho, is a tree skier’s paradise. A group of us ventured to Idaho’s panhandle to see what all the Schweitzer hype was about. The mountain lived up to its reputation for tree skiing. I have never seen so many cleverly gladed runs interspersed with natural tree skiing. The availability of […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | February 28, 2024 0 Comments
Revelstoke, BC, Conditions Report: Snow Refresh Report from February 11-12, 2024 A snow refresh in Revelstoke is a game-changer, especially on days nine and ten in a row. We drove back to Revy after a frosty sojourn at Big White because the forecast called for 10-20 centimeters (4-8″) by Monday. The storm rolled into Revy a little later than we expected. Even with less new snow […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | February 15, 2024 0 Comments
