    Utah Tips for first-timers in Utah/SLC?

    Utah 2017-18 Utah Weather & Conditions

    The first real winter storm is about to come through. Warm southwest flow will affect totals in an unpredictable way but models call for 6-12" above 8,000 feet with potential for 12-18" today and tomorrow. It's a relief to see precipitation as it's been an extremely dry summer and fall.

    Snowbird or Snowbasin for lessons?

    UNOFFICIAL GUIDE: Snowbasin, UT

    A Guide to Skiing Snowbasin by Kyle Jones Driving up the access road gives a good view of what awaits. A series of four sharp peeks cradling four or (arguably) five different drainages with large open bowls, muscular ridges and large stands of fir, aspen and scrub oak. The mountain is both tall...
