I'm here now. They haven't had new snow in a long time and everything is shaved off and hard as fuck.

I'm hearing rumors of a foot on Thursday.

And there's always touring! Get a guide and go on an adventure into the sidecountry/backcountry. Honestly if you have gear and know how to use it, ski patrol would probably shred with you.

Right on. Yeah, right now the mountain inbounds sucks unless you're willing to explore and poke around, but the out of bounds stuff is good. It'll stay good with/without snow (it's lasted this long...).

The snow has actually been great out there.
If I were you, I'd take some laps with the Alta snowboarding team
