I just moved to park city from the east coast. As you may know the east is brutally cold in the winter, and I was wondering if it's the same here. I'm getting two jackets this year a down one, and I don't know what the other one will be. This jacket will be lighter, and primarily used in the oark, the down for pow, and do you think this jacket should be insulated considering Park City's climate?

yeah, it gets cold enough here. but whatever you know? just load up on goodies under your jacket, like a turtleneck, fleeces, more jackets etc.

I dont think it gets that cold here, especially in the vally, park city is cooler though. in the midwest it got colder than a bastard and we had a little thing called "wind chill" that i do not miss at all.

ull prolly use ur puffy for high pressure days and ur shell type jacket for when it snows. puffs get to heavy and wet in pow, way better just to layer and have a nice waterproof shells.

that sounds quite unrealistic and drastic, especially for a change in temp. I remeber someone telling me last fall that the farmers almanac told them that Utah wasn't going to get any snow, I think they dropped the ball on that prediction.

yea 60% is more drastic then anything that has ever occured in earths history, even during the ice ages the differences weren't that much

The seasonal forecast says there is a 60% chance temperatures will be warmer than usual - not that they are going to be 60% warmer. Seasonal forecasts are really wild guesses anyway.

60% chance that it will be warmer, hahaha that leaves a 40% chance it will be colder. Meaning, that doesn't mean shit. flip a coin.
