Day 14

Conditions: Epic Powder

Location: Snowbird, Utah

This morning, Snowbird reported two inches of snow. We suspected it might be more and we made the hour drive on slick roads to see what The Bird had to offer. When we got to the top and dropped into Mineral Basin we found feet (not inches) of fresh powder.

It snowed all day long…and I mean it was dumping snow. Visibility was an issue, but we still managed to make plenty of turns from 9am to 4pm – without stopping for lunch. It was a great, full day.

Highlight:

The highlight was simply the sheer number of fluffy powder turns we made today. It was literally never-ending.

Lowlights:

It took us around two hours to get out of Little Cottonwood Canyon…doing the canyon crawl all the way. But, it’s a small price to pay.

Après Ski:

We ate at the horrible Fuego Pizzeria. My pizza was raw in the middle and cold. But we were so starving that we just ate what was served and went home to go to bed.

Days to go: 36
