‘Historic weather event’ in the Wasatch: 48 avalanches in 72 hours Last week’s storm that hit the Wasatch has now been dubbed as a ‘historic weather event‘ and it’s not hard to tell why.

Wasatch Dispatch: Code Blue | After the Big Storm After a long steady Wasatch storm cycle, and a lot of greybird skiing, the clouds finally cleared and the powder was waiting to be harvested under a deep blue sky.

Alta Conditions Report -The Last High Pressure Report! This is the last high pressure report I am going to write for a while. Alta started off the season great! big, consistent storms.

One big storm snuck though in early January, but other than that our best days have been a quick refresher, some wind to smooth things out, and some legitimately great corn skiing. But come on! This is […] Conditions Report Aaron Rice | February 20, 2015 0 Comments
