12/28-12/31 Brighton and Powder Mountain, UT

To be in Utah for a powder storm is perhaps the sickest thing ever. Flew in on the 27th in the afternoon to snowy and sunny skies. Next day hit Brighton BC all day off Great Western lift and treated my self to BLOWER shots of 1500 vert untracked each run. Even better when its free thanks to my Alpy pass. Nexy day headed to Powder Mountain which had received at least 18 inches in the precedding days. Rediculous amounts of untracked Wasatch powder in bounds all day. The only place I know of where you get 1000's of feet of vert in fresh, wide open powder shots with no one else skiing it....right under the lift.....sick. Logged about 30K at PowMow in one day without crossing more than a handful of tracks. It was storm time on Sunday so I slept in and self medicated with some 3.2 beers. Went back the next day for 12 new falling at 5-10 degress. Lapped aspen glades, meadows and small bowls in the morning before heading out to Powedr Country, a side country area with shuttle pick up, kinda like the old Northback system. Beautiful steeps and deeps. Went cat skiing after that with more beautiful, solitary runs. Sorry Mom, don't know if I'm coming home.....waiting for the next cycle on Thursday.

Did you check out the new chair at Brighton? I've got my SLC plane tickets for March 29

We'll be using our xtal passes at Brighton in February for mid-winter school break. Can't wait. Any advice for finding the goods there?
