Wasatch Mountain, UT, Report: Cardiff Bowl on a Sunny November Powder Day Report from November 28, 2024 Yesterday we went for a short walk and a short ski. Only a few select zones up high are skiing deep enough to avoid turning your skis into cheesegraters. We cruised up and skied a mellow classic: Cardiff Bowl. Martin & I followed Maxwell and Alex up there and watched them drop in. Sunny, powdery, […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 29, 2024 0 Comments
Alta, UT, Report: The First Deep Blower Powder Day of the Season Report from November 27, 2024 I skied Alta until 4 pm on Tuesday. The big storm day that wasn’t a big storm day. I was skeptical of the forecast and expected it to fizzle, but I wasn’t sure, and the Alta magic should never be underestimated. Same video as above but with some 3rd person video of pow skiing, heavy […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 28, 2024 0 Comments
Hoodoo, OR, Backcountry Report: Thankful for a Deep Base Report from Thursday, November 28, 2024 Hoodoo Ski Area, Oregon, opens tomorrow, but we took some early Thanksgiving turns. Hoodoo boasts about being “steep, deep, and cheap,” but last season was especially brutal at the low-elevation resort. Fortunately, this year, the resort appears to be in far better shapeโ there was consistently 30+ inches throughout the resort. Our first lap […] Conditions Report Nicky Blumm | November 28, 2024 0 Comments

Alta, UT, Report: 1,800-Vertical-Feet of Terrific Early Season Skiing With Zero Lift Lines Report from November 25, 2024 Today was my first inbounds day at Alta this season after 10 fun uphill preseason days. Alta is legit right now. Collins and Wildcat are open with 1,800 vertical feet of good skiing. I cranked laps – mostly on the groomers – with an obnoxious smile. Off-piste was a bit risky with rocks and logs […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 25, 2024 0 Comments
