Ducknut Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I am scheduled to go Park City next week for a week of freshiez, but I am wondering if its worth the effort. The forecast is for no new snow during the next week and daily highs in the low 40s and night time temperatures in the teens. That sounds like the recipe for hard water, not glrious powpow. Anyone have some real time beta? Quote
JayB Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I was at Snowbird Monday. Dust on crust on the groomers, hacked out refrozen shiznit elsewhere. The rare exception proved to be slopes facing due north that had been closed due to avy concerns for a few days before my arrival. There was some snow that felt like the equivalent of windpack with a slight crust on those aspects, which made for okay riding, but certainly wouldn't warrant a trip there for the express purpose of hiting the slopes IMO. If Park City is at a lower elevation than Snowbird my guess is that the you'll be looking at chewed-up icy stuff in the morning with a reasonable chance of spring-like snow later on in the day...

Ducknut Posted December 17, 2004 Author Posted December 17, 2004 JB That sounds like what I was predicting. Anybody else got a differing opinion? Doesn't sound too promising. A scan of conditions throughout the west and NW shows that freshiez are an rare commodity right now. Quote
cj001f Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 You could try calling the BD retail store about Ice conditions. Quote
Ducknut Posted December 17, 2004 Author Posted December 17, 2004 That would be fun, but this is supposed to be a family ski vacation. Looks like it is a slow, warm start in the NW. Quote
