Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone.
Go easy on me, I am new to this forum.
I am going to Salk Lake city on the 5th April 2013. I am planning to speak 2 days in snowbird (Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April)
I am getting last minute jitters about snow conditions. Can anyone tell me what the conditions are like. I have checked historical snow reports etc but would be nice to hear it for a real person.
Thanks all
Bud

Hi Bud,
You may get an answer, but on here most folk are based in europe. Have you tried Epic or TGR who tend to be US based?

It is pretty common for Snowbird to be open into June. Not sure how it's shaping up this year though

The snow this year is less than what it usually is.
I am reading on another forum about Snowbasin, just 40 miles north, and a bit lower in altitude, that snow is sugary at the base, hard packed on top, spring skiing conditions. Right now Snowbird have 80 inches of snow. I have skied Snowbird a lot (back in the day) and my experience is, in order for Snowbird to be rock free, they need a 100 inch base, after a 100 inch base, most rocks are covered. That is special to Snowbird because of all granite in and around the ski terrain.
Other resorts, such as Park City, are good at 50 inches.
Having said that, the last few years, they have had some bizarre weather and have gotten a massive dump of snow this late into the year, so that if happens, you're all good. At 80 inches, some of the runs off the tram may not be skiable, that is where most of the rocks are.
Anyway, it's beautiful, and I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself, speaking at the Cliff Club? Be sure and bring your swim suit, as their outdoor rooftop swimming pool is awesome. And the best part is, they aren't French so you don't need a funny french swim suit
I have a timeshare at Cliff Club, and it used to be my old stomping ground, so I always kind of stay on top of the skiing conditions there, habit I suppose.
