Some of my favorite times in life have been skiing in the Sierras. Kirkwood and Homewood are my two faves. Damn, I wish I was down there now.

I used up this year’s ski budget at Park City and Deer Valley, Utah in January.

A vicious snow storm I remember when a spring snow leaving 3' was a good thing.

I haven’t been to Northstar. But I hear good things about it. I’ve been to Mt. Rose and Diamond Pk in Nevada, and Heavenly and Alpine in CA, in addition to the ones I mentioned in my earlier post.

No shame in that, whatsoever. I’ve skied all the Park City areas and very much enjoyed them all in years past.

It’s a great thing. More snow means more water for agriculture this spring and summer.

Maybe you can help name the area....last summer wifey and I drove from the east on I-80 and passed through some unnamed area that is obviously a winter resort area; kind of in a 'bowl' just before the Interstate begins that big drop-down into SLC.
Try as we might, we could see nothing which would identify this area. All I know is we didn't pass Robert Redford on the highway.

It’s a “vicious storm” to the Drought Police....jeopardizes their livelihood.

Hmm...anyone heard if they got buried in Carson City?
Friend of mine has been offline for a day or so, this would certainly explain it.

We came out of SLC airport, a short ride east on 80 then to Rt.40 into the Wasatch. So I have not seen that part of Rt. 80 that comes in from the east before it hits 40.
If I wasn’t an ocean lover I’d abandon Jersey for UT in a heartbeat (if Mrs. JimRed let me get away with it, that is)!

Don’t forget Sugar Bowl..it has lots of runs and when other resorts have little snow they seem to have runs going...we skied lots of places listed here and Sugar Bowl, Northstar and Heavenly were my favs.
To: Malsua
Yep, Carson City got buried. Depending on where, 10, 12, 14 inches.

Sounds wonderful! Three feet of new snow—oh, I wish I were there. Of course, that snow is nowhere near as light and dry as Rocky Mountain powder, but it would still be glorious to ski through/in/on.

Northstar used to be a bit more family friendly, but parking is an issue. I used to try to make it in the parking lot early to park close. They had a run that dumped out in the parking lot, but you had to get there really early to get a good spot. If you were late, you were riding a shuttle bus.
The nice part about Northstar is that the main peak is quite a bit lower than Squaw and it right behind Squaw. That means on high wind days when the upper lifts at Squaw are closed, Northstar is still bearable.
I've also found that these storms produce a lot of snow, but at Squaw the top of the hill gets really wind blown by the time the slope opens up again. Not much powder left over.
