So this weekend we are expected to get a fair amount of snow, which is good considering we haven't had a storm in over a month. Most people I have talked too think that winter is over for us, but back in the 90s we had a similar situation. It was 60 degrees in the Salt Lake valley for over a month and March turned out to be our biggest storm month that year. IT'S NOT OVER YET!

This exactly. I work at the bird in Mineral so the more snow we get, the more tours we can take out.

Well we get first tracks back there in the morning after the liftees, and I remember when we got that May storm and there were HUNDREDS lined up from the tram all the way down Powder Paradise. Seeing everyone drop in at the same time for fresh turns was pretty wild. Went from 0-45 minute MBX wait in seconds.

Yeah PCMR is getting dull now. Too busy and too warm. LCC is in a fuckton better shape than the PC area. Better terrain to ski and still some Decent snow From last week left over.

yeah, its insane. That one storm we had over the week Of xmas showed us how slammed it can really get. Hour long waits, we said Fuck that and skied gad valley/cirque lines the rest of the day. We did manage to get some goOd turns in over at mineral, but the mass amounts of jerries was a bit too much.

If I'm not mistaken, it was 1992 last time the conditions were like this. Hopefully it follows the same trend and gives us late season storms because it would be neat if it was like last season where it snowed up until closing day. Been starving for some powder since moving to slc

1992 was the shit season that was a record breaker. We are comparing that season now. If you look at UAC's website half the rose is gone below 8'000'.

I hope we get a decent amount of snow. As usual weather reports conflict, but I'm not thinking over 6". Relatively dry cold front, but at least we'll get these temps back down. Possible shift in the weather pattern next week?

Still good snow out there on true north aspects (shhhhhhhh)....and at least we aren't Cali.

Either this is our storm month or we might be done. Stay positive.

Truth. Cali has been suffering for years now. There is still some good snow and it's all skiable which I am thankful for, but I didn't move out here for east coast skiing on the west coast.
