Alta Conditions Report – Bluebird for Days! For many people in Alta last week was the best week of skiing they had had in years. As in anything in life, with the good comes the bad. Lucking this is Alta, so bad is really still pretty descent. I like to say that in Alta it is either snowing hard or bluebird, and this past week has not let us down. Though it has been dry, it has been absolutely gorgeous and ski patrol has been able to drop some ropes, most notably on […] Conditions Report Aaron Rice | January 8, 2015 0 Comments
Alta Conditions Report – 81″ of Snow in Ten Days! Alta ended 2014 on a high note! A series of storms dropped 81″ of successively lighter snow, leaving us with some epic (and I don’t use this term lightly) powder skiing. The storms lifted and we are now in a period of high pressure, but there is still great snow out there and with cold temps the skiing is still fantastic.

1 Shot @ The Chimney, Bluebird Pow, Crud, & Groomers | Squaw Valley USA Powder Day Report: Dare I say it was the best day of the season? Almost. Was it one of the most fun days I’ve had all year? Hell yes. We got a little bit of a late start and took our first run at 10am. Big mistake. We had amazing spring pow for our first run, but I gave myself a nice slap in my own face for not getting here by 9am. Siberia and the Palisades were going off first thing in the morning and we saw some nice […] Conditions Report Guy LaDouche | April 23, 2014 7 Comments
April 2 at Sugar Bowl | Bluebird Pow After tallying up 86” in the most recent storm cycle, saying the skiing at Sugarbowl looked awesome looks like a bit of an understatement. On April 2, the weather cleared and high pressure returned to the area, opening up possibilities up high. Not only is the terrain sicker, but the snow had been […] SnowBrains | April 4, 2014 0 Comments
Bluebird Blitzkreig @ Kirkwood – 02/23/14 I’ve been waiting for a day like this since November of 2013. The stars aligned and delivered bluebird skies, no wind, wintery snowpack, and every one of my favorite lines accessible. Its this early season snowpack (I know its late February) that really gives Kirkwood its raw feel and exhume its fun factor. Lines like Oops n Poops, Chamoix, Dan’s Cliffs, Thunder Saddle, Soul Searcher, Broadway Chute […] Conditions Report Casey Cane | February 27, 2014 2 Comments
