[quote=Anonymous]Utah Asshole here - OP - Here's the reality of the Wasatch right now.

* We're experiencing the worst recorded start to winter in history and it's not getting better anytime soon.

* We are expecting a bit of snow on Saturday and some next Wednesday.  Right now, neither storm looks to be anything more than 3-6".

* VERY little is open, and what there is is mainly groomers.  Off-Piste is currently 1-2 foot depth, where a normal average winter would be 5-8 foot depth right now.  What that means is that rocks and stumps and brush is everywhere.

* If you like skiing groomers, then none of that matters, groomers are groomers and PC knows how to groom.

* Also, if you're coming for more than the quality of skiing, PC has a lot to do.

* If you do care about having fresh snow, sorry, it aint gonna happen around the 12th.  Not likely here or CO.  It looks like some minor potential for a storm or two to pass north to hit MT and WY.

* There are really good weather sites specific for snow in areas that know a lot more than anyone on here, even me - Go to OpenSnow, WasatchWeatherWeenies, or UtahSnowForecast.

* Yes, Jackson, Sun Valley, Big Sky, and others to the north got a great to start to winter and they have a bigger base than us to the South.  That does not mean it's any better there TODAY or NEXT WEEK, just more open.  They have been dry there too lately and warm at times and conditions are hardpack at best in all of the Rockies right now.

* Dear CO skiers - you're right, CO is awesome, everyone should go there.  There's alcohol and grass and much cooler people for sure. Don't worry about multi-hour drives between areas or to the city, or the fact they average half the snowfall of UT, or the average lift lines that go half way up the mountain.

* OP - stop listening to people on here, even me.  What you want to do is call local ski shops in the area and ask to speak to someone in the back shop, maybe somewhere in PC, I'm sure you can google some, and ask them.  They don't give a fuck if you come or not, so they will tell the truth, like I have.  I don't give a flying fuck if anyone comes to Utah. I'd actually prefer you didn't, because I'd rather see the ski resorts go under and let it all be wild backcountry.  [/quote]
