    Utah LCC/BCC April 2024 conditions - Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton

    At Alta, it did not get over 32 at Mid-Mountain until noon today, April 18. Mineral Basin groomers were good on the Baldy side at 9:30, while the Collins groomers were quite frozen. After lunch time, the terrain that was open off Supreme was great fun. Catherine's, Supreme Bowl, and the gates...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    Had we gone to Catherine's a bit earlier in the morning, getting fresh tracks on the meadow would've been easy. I still could find places to do several turns in untracked snow on the more mellow section before the terrain gets steeper above the gully. Linking powder turns above a certain speed...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    Catherine's is all black terrain. After a couple more Taos Ski Weeks or more lessons with L3 instructors with 20+ years experience, plus practice on groomers for a season or two and you'd be fine following someone who knows the easiest way. Assuming there is good snow and weather conditions of...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    Fresh snow brings out people midweek, even in mid-April. The Wildcat parking lot didn't quite fill up completely though. The Collins lift line disappeared by 9:30 after the usual 9:15 opening. By the time Bill and I were ready to had out at 9:35 there were people on the end of the High T, in...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    Monday, April 15 was the day everyone was hoping for a major snowstorm. While it did snow, what caused low visibility all day was fog more than snow. The Supreme area was the best and even had the sun peak out a bit. The Collins side was warmer for some reason and really socked in. If I...

    Utah LCC/BCC April 2024 conditions - Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton

    Here's the Alta snow report for Mid-Mountain on April 16. The storm total was 8 inches. The forecast was for temperatures to stay relatively cool. But by late morning, it was pretty obvious that it had warmed up quite a bit and the new snow hadn't stayed cold even in the shady areas...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    Glad you enjoyed the experience. Spring skiing takes a little adjustment since the snow can be very different day-to-day and even hour-to-hour when the sun is out. I started doing lessons with Arthur Haskell in 2014. He lives about 30 minutes from me in the Triangle area of North Carolina...

    Today's weather, April 15, didn't come close to the forecast. There was less snowfall and warmer temperatures, and plenty of fog. There was also bursts of sunshine around Supreme. The snow was soft pretty much everywhere by lunch time. In the late afternoon, it was snowing and melting at the...

    Ski area count.

    The 2023-24 season was the first time I had an Epic Local pass. Got it for a trip to Crested Butte, then figured out how to sample Epic resorts in Colorado to take advantage of having Epic. I also had Ikon, the MCP, Indy, and a Massanutten Value Pass (home mountain in northern VA). SOUTHEAST...

    Utah LCC/BCC April 2024 conditions - Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton

    Hard to know exactly how much snow will fall in LCC in the next couple days. For sure it's going to be much colder than the last few days. It was noticeably cooler this afternoon after lunch, especially when there was cloud cover on the Supreme side. The snow near the Wildcat base was pretty...

    TR Alta April 4-19, 2024, spring skiing with a powder storm

    The Peruvian Tunnel operator told me today that they weren't starting "weekend only" operations for the tunnel until mid-May. Presumably that means it will be open 7 days a week until then. On the other hand, the Gad Valley will be closed starting April 15. That's because major construction...
