TODAY: Tahoe Powder Day! The Stoke is in Full Effect | Photo Tour: Today was the first real powder day in Tahoe. Not only was it a powder day, but it was one of the better ones in recent memory. Mount Rose was favored by the last wave of precip and got a nice dumping of blower pow on top of several inches from a storm last week that left some semblance of a base. Stoke levels were high, face shots were plentiful (along with maybe a couple core shots), and high fives were irresistible. Matt Bansak | November 10, 2015 0 Comments

VIDEO: What It Takes to Open Snowbird, UT on a Powder Day It takes a helluva lotta work to get Snowbird ski resort in Utah open on a powder day. Not all of us appreciate nor understand just how much work it takes patrollers to get the hill safe for us. This video shows us just how much work it takes and exactly what it takes to get Snowbird open on a powder day. Patrollers are some of the hardest working people in the business and certainly the hardest working on the hill each day. Yet, they are grossly underpaid. We need to fix this and fix it fast.
