Shiit sounds like it was awesome out there.

Can't wait to come out on the 13th for a few days. Hoping some good stuff will come down!

PC was unreal today. Pioneer ridge/Jupe bowl showcased some of the best turns ever for me. Good god, I love skiing.

Both those fools are dumb.

If you're single, you come down and yell asking for any singles. Then if no one responds, you just go to the back of the line anyway.

Pissed dude shouldn't have acted like a 4 year old having a temper tantrum. It's quite easy to just keep the line going and not allow someone to cut/merge without words....

Best day of the year at the bird today!! These two guys went huge off the route 7 cliffs by the bottom of gad 2, then I went (though not as big as they did), and I landed in their bombholes and backslapped so hard my Gopro fell off my helmet and got lost in the powder.... Kinda put a damper on my day, but I still had a blast! Maybe i can hike up there and find it this summer...

Gray day, warm temps, and it's gonna get into the 50s in PC this weekend.... not gonna lie, I'm starting to get the mtn bike itch. Trying to stay positive but it's getting hard to not just throw in the towel on this season.

It's gonna be a drunk skiing weekend for sure. These temps are probably going to wreck the trees so I guess it'll be groomer fruit bootin' time.

There's no way to know at this point. This time last week we were in the midst of the best powder days of the year. Fast forward a few days and it's been spring skiing since Sunday. This time of year in Utah is a complete grab-bag weather wise.

I doubt mtn biking would be legit, still alot of snow and most of the trails would be wet.

Bonnevile Shoreline on the U side is surprisingly fine. Ran it today and saw tracks/people mountain biking. few muddy spots, there are a few spots in Dry Creek with snow but very minimal. Nice and firm dirt, not dusty. Fair amount of ruts in spots from people riding previously. Unsure of Bobsled, entrace looked real beat up. wear some tights, bring a spare layer/gloves should be sick.

High of 54 on Friday and a high of 48 Saturday in PC... not getting my hopes up. If we do get snow it's gonna need to be significant- this past week nuked the base and it's starting to feel like December again with the trees becoming a no-go zone.

Who's ready to get RAINED ON tomorrow!? After two weeks of 50-60 degree temps nuking our snowpack, tomorrow's rain should really help put the nail in the coffin for this season. I realize it's going to snow Saturday night, but I'm wondering if that will just end up being a few inches on bare ground like when we get our first snow in October at that point...

I doubt its gonna be a problem, pc might get a shower but by the time the real storm comes in, it will be cold.

Kinda just wish it was stay warm and sunny, 3-5 overnight at brighton? weak.

I wake up early after getting smashed all the time, pretty sure it's telling me I finally sobered up. Plus skiing off the hangover is the best way to do it.

I definitely feel that, in high school I could get trashed and not even have a hangover.
 
and I meant I wake up naturally after getting trashed, I'm usually really hard to get out of bed

Your body cant fall into its natural deep sleep cycle when youre hammered. Its a really shallow sleep so you wake up pretty easily.

It looks like the storm will drop off a decent amount of snow, but then it's right back to hot as balls by Tuesday.

Idk about the best, but definitely top 3. And yeah there were no lines at all, all day. Jup didn't even get completely skied out--we did scott's at like 3, and there were as many tracks as there would have been at 11 on a normal day.

Super light too, sooooo good.

Monday is going to be fantastic. Tuesday will also be good, just with a lot more traversing. Definitely go to Alta.

Had my first PC day today, it was much better than expected! It seemed like nobody wanted to ski powder, we were getting so much untracked. McConkeys and Jupiter were both awesome. Not sure that I would say top 3 though, maybe top 5.

The Bird was great today.  The lower mountain got pretty heavy but the cirque was awesome all day.  Don't really know how you can complain about snow density in April especially after the season we have had.
