Agree, early snow means big early business for shops. When the snow starts to fly early so does peoples checkbook out of their pocket!

@SnowSurfr you won't regret it escpecially if it snows while your here honestly i have been to a lot of resorts and for powder snowbird is in my opinion the best. If you are looking for a good park you won't find it at snowbird
looking good

peekaboo snowbird is in Utah not colorado and no they will need like 2 or 3 more feet to open because the mountain is too steep to open without a few feet of coverage. It's supposed to open november 20th
Well just about all the weather forecasts predicted that snowbird could get up to 3 feet but instead it looks like they got about 8 inches.. 7-11 inches predicted to fall tonight.
This is the snowbird village at the base of snowbird right now |

Yerrrp men robsta went up boarding today after i got back from school. Its around 7 inches cuz the snow came out for a bit b4 we got up there. Anyway we made this jump off a road and it was siiiiiick. I got the most air :). Really rocky though. And then some Dbag came and told us we couldnt do that in a really dbagish way. So after he goes to this hill a bit off and just parks there and watches us as we are sitting and talking making sure we dont go boarding again. So robsta goes and gets to the car to take his booties off then drive us home, meanwhile me and this kid start sledding down the hill with shovels that we brought, it was fun. So one of the times after i acted like my friend was hurt and i was all shaking him and stuff and acting like i needed somebody, then he got up laughing. Im guessing the dude didnt like that so he turns his lights on and heads alllll the way back down to us, gets pissed, and then i piss him off even more basically mocking his authority saying its legal to roll down a hill, he threatens to call the cops and my friend laughs, then we left.

Originally this thread was just about snowbird gettin some early snow. Then i changed it to the snowbird thread. Now i decided to change it to the Utah resorts thread cause people have been complaining that there have been threads about a bunch of different resorts. This is probably less annoying and a lot more people will use it
/edit I was up at brighton for a couple hours yesterday. There must have been 2 1/2 feet of snow at the base. It was really fun the jump we built was massive and the brighton owner was totally chill about us being up there. He said that they are having a bunch of jibs being set up for people to hike on saturday. We asked when they will be opening and he said it's likely that Brighton will be opening earlier than predicted possibly as early as next wednesday Nov 3rd. |
