tbf, this was due to an avy hold from 9am to 10am today, so this was before lifts were running. Great day today at Snowbird otherwise. Shout out to the wonderful snowball fights this caused

Meanwhile at Sundance, I found pow stashes today and yesterday, and never waited more than 3 minutes in line for a lift.

It's all about expectations. You don't have to go to Disneyland in order to ride roller coasters.

Sssshhhhhhhhhhhh, Sundance is awful, it’s small and terrible and the lift lines are outrageous. Don’t ever go there, it’s the worst. Stay at Snowbird.

Tbh idk why most people go to snowbird, unless you’re focused on cliffs and free ride I feel like there are much better options for making pow turns for the average skier

Night skiing is #1. Always parking. Never lines.

I have a midweek pass to Solitude and Indy Pass. I redeemed a day at Beaver Mountain on my Indy. Getting away from this cottonwood shitshow was well worth the 2 hour drive.

Fresh powder combined with extra tourist crowds due to the holidays caused this.

I enjoy seeing ikon pass users suffering from the disease they caused

Gadzoom to little cloud to gad2, mineral or Peruvian. By then, I’ve gotten about two blower runs, people are normally spread out, and lines are reasonable.

First off not much is open when these photos were taken this week so your scenario is dumb. Second doesn’t make you not a beater, I’ll get to the bird a 1 today do some flips hit some cliffs and have way more fun than waking up crack ass to take dad turns then brag how early I get up on reddit

Snow it's is always like this hit the mountain is huge and you can still get yours. Lap little cloud or mid gad til the crowd dissipates
