Already Searchbar'd, regionals doesn't get a lot of views, and I'm sure there will be more people wondering about this...

Going out to Snowbasin for Dew. I try to get at least a few hours or a full day exploring the actual mountains I go to regardless of whether it's for a comp or not.

For those who've ridden Snowbasin quite a bit... Where should I be heading? I usually don't ask this but I've seen the trail map and honestly it all looks sick and I don't know how much time I'm gonna have.

What are your favorite runs? Anything I CAN'T miss?

Go up john paul. the regular lift at the right side of the base. ski off and around the corner ( you will see what i mean) and go through the gate at the bottom of the hill. there is lots of good places to build kickers and ski. Also, go up the olympic tram and ski the downhill runs. lots of fun. you can also ski around on the road from the olympic tram and hike maybe 50 feet up (towards out of bounds but not) and ski a run with 4 or 5 nautural half pipes. strawberry lift is also good. go throught the gates near the top. there is also a sick nautural halpipe off of strawberry.

WARNING!!! Looking down the hill on the right side of stawberry, there are no markers at the bottom of the resort. TAKE LAST CHANCE ROAD or you will be skiing/ hiking along way back to the high way!!! Lokk at a trail map and you will see what i mean.
