Shitshow Rope Drop at Snowbird
Snowbird: Utah snow but with lift lines like Colorado
its like seriously downright terrifying skiing there sometimes.
101 reasons to ski Alta.
Reason 1 no snowbird rope drop shit show.
Reasons 2 through 101 see above ^

It kind of sucks that this is how pow days work at resorts.
To me it just seems stressful. Gotta wake up real early then rush to ski your favorite runs before all of the pow is gone and everyone is in “attack” mode to do the same. This is why I like skiing park more these days.

Sheeple. While all these people waste their time, there's some dude way out in the boonies shredding a wide open bc line and the only concern is whether the snowpack is stable or not. I say we promote the hell out of resorts and get as many people to stay in bounds as possible.
Dub post. Why don't they open the terrain before they open the chairs like every other resort?

This must be your first year at alta, its just as bad IMO the only cottonwood resort that isn't crowded is solitude...
Is this mineral basin?

What do you mean? Every resort I've ever skied at opens terrain as they do avalanche mitigation, hence "rope drop".
I only saw the gopro footage. This agnle is ridic. actually both are goo angles. pov and from the side.

Little cottonwood canyon is pretty busy in general

the pressure of choosing the right first run on a pow day is just to my much...i can't even
QuaffDub post. Why don't they open the terrain before they open the chairs like every other resort?
Because you work all day to progressively open more and more terrain when it snows...I don’t understand what you don’t understand.
You can’t do avalanche mitigation work when it’s pitch black or when it’s still snowing (as a general rule of thumb). You show up, start shooting before the chairs turn, and likely are still shooting at 10 am depending on the size of the mountain and number of slide paths. So, the mountain is open, people ski what’s controlled and open while patrol continues, and when patrol finishes a piece of terrain, they open it.
TRVP_ANGELIs this mineral basin?
Yes, it is. It's 100% worth getting up early for those runs.

What da fuck is a chinese downhill

lol we get to sit in the same traffic and get to park on the same sides of the canyon road if you're not there by 6am. Alta and snowbird are the most gangbanged resorts by far.

I’m not gonna disagree with that
holy shit how many people was that?

Ah the Chinese downhill. I could have fun with this once or twice a day. Any more and I'd be annoyed.

Oh word, like 95% of the time, Jackson doesn't open anything until patrol is done with the entire mountain... Wasn't aware of how the silly Mormons and Colorado flatlanders take care of things.

Hm, I'll be thinking about this while I get on wildcat without waiting in line on a Saturday..
Also brighton isn't crowded at all unless all you lap is crest on the weekends
Snowbird on weekends is the most heinous place to ski in Utah. The mineral basin/road to provo frenzies are definitely worse than any other cottonwood resort

Nate, it's Friday ;)
But yeah. Brighton's parking lot can be completely full and you can almost always ski straight back onto milly, even on pow days. Lines are hardly ever longer than a couple minutes, maybe up to 10 on the worst saturdays. And you can always find fresh snow days after a storm. Yeah traffic is getting worse, but even an hour and a half to get up the canyons on pow days is not bad compared to other regions. People like to complain.

I'll be lapping wildcat all day tomorrow too, give me a yell if you see a jerry with white skis and a blue Columbia jacket haha, just as long as the bus ride isn't 5 hours like two weeks ago

Watch the old school movie called "hotdogger". Think of it this way, "Grand Slalom is for boys, Chinese downhill is for men."

I think you need to re watch that section m8
weekend powder days suck, midweek powder days turn the fuck up.
If anyone's at the bird tomorrow, look for the big tall dude who can't ski moguls lapping Peruvian with a snowboarder. You probably ski better than me, but I still feel great about myself.

I’ve seen it it’s a refrence to what the Japanese guy says
I'm so happy I stopped skiing there. You're spending a grand just to wait in line at the base of the canyon, in the lift lines and for rope drops all for 2 untouched runs of powder before it gets skied out.... I wonder how many DPS and Super 7s are in that mob of dickbags.
That doesn't even look fun...?
Geez. Reminds me of Fernie. Such a shit show on a pow day at Fernie with most bowls opening at different times throughout the day.
And no one is skiing the semi decent looking lines right off the top...
hemlockjibber8And no one is skiing the semi decent looking lines right off the top...
That line is almost always roped off for whatever reason but I agree, not to mention it gets the lift line stoked when you drop in.

true but that's just wildcat

Some some vids from snowbird today, it was packed. Solitude on the other hand had untracked trails all morning.
Brighton is so fucking crowded my dude, I dunno if you've been over there this year. The new millennial pass really dicked the scene IMO that place is full of fucking people.
BUT all of these resorts are much more tolerable on the weekend than PC, alta/snowbird can be fine on the weekend if it doesnt snow.
Brighton is super chill idk what you're talking about

Yeah I had bcc passes the last 3 years and switched to the bird for something new/more easily accessible steep terrain, and to this i say fuck snowbird. I don't regret getting my pass there but it's doubtful I'll come back. Everything is tracked so fast and the attitude of a lot of the people sucks. Even though it's also crowded, Alta is a lot better since you can traverse and sidestep to stuff.
So far I've learned snowbird is good for 3 things:
Laps of steep terrain when it's not crowded
Social skiing (I constantly run into people)
Spring days

Yesterday was unreal, no lines, super deep, got first tracks on a bunch of stuff. It was only cause the road was so awful though, I'm pretty sure Snowbird must have bribed the cops to keep the road open
I was here for the metre of snow on Sunday and still here for the rest of the week.
If anyone wants to rip some lines hit me up we have a filmer

hey ive been that guy for a couple decades and im even blessed the old lady breaks mean trail
and ya dont even need to go to the boonies
this is yesterday in the bcc
ive got 60 lcc comp days
and its not even worth it for free
to deal with that conga line
and shitshow of agro scrubbing bubbles
anyone else shocked to see snowbird actually open terrain thats not for some instagram social media photo shoot while telling people that the avy danger is too high to open stuff?
This must be why they call it the Greatest Show On Earth.
