Spring suddenly slipped into Summer and the temps spiked to crazy mid-eighties on Saturday after several days of extremely warm and sunny weather. It was astounding to see how much snow was lost, so quickly. Shorts and t-shirts were the rule. Conditions were wet but really good. Ripcord, Spillsville, and Organgrinder still had great coverage [...]

We arrived in Salt Lake City on Wednesday night, excited for four days of skiing at Park City Mountain Resort with the Murphy family. We woke up Thursday morning, threw on the ski boots and made a short walk over to the town ski lift for the ride up the hill. It ended up being [...]

Back to good Spring skiing on Saturday with warm temps in the 40′s and bright sunshine. Runs down Ripcord were just as fun as it gets. Unlike lower on the mountain where the snow was a bit rotten and sticky from a string of warm weather leading up to the weekend, the upper mountain had [...]

Saturday was a tough day at the mountain. Reports of a fantastic, sunny string of spring-like weekdays leading up to the weekend were not welcome on a cloudy, dreary, windy, Saturday morning where apparently temps dropped just low enough on Friday night to freeze the snowpack completely solid. It was unexpected, too, as temps were [...]

Sunshine! Saturday and Sunday were two spectacular spring days with bluebird skies and temps in the upper thirties and low forties. Saturday brought the Castlerock Extreme Challenge competition to Liftline. Middle Earth and Castlerock Run both skied extremely well with fantastic cover and soft snow. There were a couple spots in the shade with nice [...]

Fifty-six inches of snow fell at Sugarbush from Wednesday through Saturday morning. FIFTY-SIX INCHES! It was pretty unreal. The bottom-line was that the snow was very deep everywhere on the mountain. The quality and consistency of the snow varied widely, though. It was very wet near the base, with a high liquid equivalent to the [...]

Saturday was a pretty sweet ski day as several days of light snowfall added up to bolster the base of snow in the woods and generally freshen conditions. We spent most of the day finding nice lines in woods on Castlerock and Heaven’s Gate. We found some nice powder! We got a few more inches [...]

President’s Day weekend at Sugarbush brought the usual big crowds, but unfortunately it did not bring the snow. Conditions really weren’t that hot, with snowfall about 100″ behind where we were last year and less than two feet of base in the woods, it was pretty challenging at times. This was coupled with the fact [...]

Great snow, great town, incredible terrain, and bright southwestern sunshine pretty much sum up the trip. We pulled into the historic mining town of Telluride, Colorado which sits at the end of a box canyon in the Sneffels Range of the Northern San Juan Mountains and were immediately blown away by the surroundings. The town [...]

Awesome sunshine on Saturday! I had a blast out on my new skis, driving them for the first time with my Garmont boots. We started the day on groomers, enjoying the nice corduroy. Sleeper, Birch Run, and Hotshot/Waterfall were fast and fun. After a few runs, I started to really feel the turn radius on [...]
