My Annual Request for Early Season Insight
Been doing this for 15 years now, and many thanks to those who have
responded. A little different format this time round... Here's my plan. Give me your thoughts. Late November: SLC - chase the snow from canyon to canyon. I usually don't bothr with Park or Deer, but spent a pleasant morning in some diamonds skier's left in The Canyons last Christmas. Does it get snow as early as Alta and Brighton? Week before Christmas: Big Sky - taking a chance here, I think. When do conditions get consistent? Thanks in advance. Cheers, OC |

Does it get snow as early as Alta and Brighton? It's about 1000' lower in elevation, and therefore warmer - this can make a big difference early and late season. Also the way the storms *usually* track LCC gets it first, BCC gets it second, and the PC area gets sloppy thirds. But it's not exactly unheard of for a storm to paste PC and miss the other canyons. So, get yourself to the general area and chase the snow. Good plan. Week before Christmas: Big Sky - taking a chance here, I think. When do conditions get consistent? Can't help you there. //Walt |

Thanks Walt, much appreciated.
Additional question about PC... I've only skied Park City once and was disappointed. Seemed like I did an awful lot of traversing to find decent runs. Finally hooked up with some locals, but I'd say things got only marginally better. During 7 hours of skiing, I probabaly spent 3 full hours touring the mountain rather than skiing it. Is this typical, or did I just manage to find the longest distance between runs? Cheers, OC "Walt" wrote in message ... user wrote: Late November: SLC - chase the snow from canyon to canyon.
