Utah Pcmr/canyons - Best Skiing In Years

[quant]

There was at least 17" of snow last night, probably a little more given powder well above the knees. I imagine the Cottonwoods got two feet minimum. Lots of blasting, waiting for 9990 to open (if not open now) while grabbing lunch. Best skiing in years. It started wet andd then came down dry. So far, so good, in terms of the Vail Resorts imprint on the place. I see no negatives and only positives so far. It really isn't that hard to ski to either side with the new gondola (got that our of my system yesterday just to say I did it). OpenSnow is suggesting the next big storm mostly misses to the south, but some snow will continue all week.

The battery in the camera was wasted after lunch before the better stuff opened up, but here is what the morning looked like:

While we are arriving at the LCC - the Bird in particular , where BobMc has promised to 'scare the living bejesus out of us ' this week, our friends are arriving into the new and improved PC-Canyons zone, will send them link to your video, they will be ecstatic. Thanks

Someday it may all be connected, but that is a debate for another thread and for another day. Dick Bass sold most of his interest in Snowbird to the Cumming family (who foolishly lost PCMR) before he died. Bass was an excellent steward of his mountain. Snowbird will remain in good hands for the foreseeable future. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks, will do. Interesting oil man who protected a mountain, a towering presence in the annals of ski mountain shepherding in North America

Canyons - now just PCMR, just before New Year's 2016, just above Specter and Fools Paradise nice bowl, Four boys 12, 11, 13 and 9 in jumper order , reached by entering through gates off of Alpenglow into steep trees , deep fluffy light snow, in between Dreamscape and Dreamcatcher lifts: Look before you leap, Jumper #1 caught a bit by surprise going over the top, rest wisely went a touch left.

Glad to see the good early start to the season as I will be coming in there on January 30th for a week on my annual guys' ski trip. Looks as if they have gotten a bit of new snow the past couple of days. Can't wait!

Glad to see you taking all that open space for yourselves! Even with the new restaurant it never gets crowded on that part of the mountains.
