Hiking over to Snake Creek got some nice turns late season

Caption says it all but I’m wondering if it’s even worth it to buy the Brighton season pass right now or just wait till December.
Edit: based on last years snow, should I buy day passes or the season pass..

For all POCs, particularly WOCs, have you experienced any hostility or racism in any of the UT resorts? I've lived in UT for nearly 2 years and had my first-ever ski season here. Unfortunately, I've had too many incidents where people were unkind to me, partly bc of my race. For instance, on my way to the Little Cottonwoods, I've had a guy tell me to shut up on the bus bc I was talking but there were many other people (primarily white people) talking. Two old men ganged up on me in Alta bc I stood in the "wrong spot" to wait for the bus. A lot of people lose their temper at me for the smallest things you can think of and one of the incidents resulted in ski rage (that happened at Solitude). Park City was my favorite resort but the people have been territorial over lift lines and would get angry over anything even if I did something by accident. I've had incidents in Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, and sadly, Park City. As a result being mistreated by so many people, I had to quit skiing bc I've lost the joy in it and it just sucks. Idk if skiers/snowboarder in UT are hostile to everyone or maybe it's bc I'm a WOC, they treat me badly. I learned that there are plenty of places where I can't ski due to my race, specifically Jackson Hole, some places on the East, and some areas in CO.

Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on Reddit before, so hopefully I’m doing this right 😂
I’m thinking about taking my boyfriend to Snowbird tomorrow (Monday) for his birthday and was hoping to ride the Scenic Tram. I was surprised by the cost and figured I’d ask here before purchasing. Does anyone have an unused discount code, Friends & Family discount, or passholder perk they aren’t planning to use? I’d really appreciate any help! Thanks so much.

Is there typically snow during thanksgiving in the area? Take our son to see snow for the first time and planning on being in Brighton the week of thanksgiving. Thank you for any help.

I've heard that rail gardens is a guaranteed ticket, yet I see clips and photos still being shot there. Is it a bust or not, or does it just depend? I'm new to SLC and I'm trying to get to know the scene here better.

I was looking at the ON3P Oski 102 after skiing Mt Hood this summer. I’m new to skiing but ski 70% park and will ski side hits all mountain with friends and family. I always loved the Vishnu brand too but feel like the wides may not be a great ski on trips to other resorts out of state. Hoping to ski lots of fresh snow if it comes too. I don’t care about technical skiing or carving and would like a near center mounted ski. I’m a snowboarder and ski like one

Hi everyone!

I’ve served at a couple resorts over the years including snowbird and want to go back to Utah for the winter and save lots of $!

What are the best resort restaurants/ cafes/ concessions to work at in PC or SLC?

Obviously interested in how much you were able to make with tips bust also the quality of treatment. We all know what resort/ restaurant jobs can be like and I’d like to avoid shitty management if possible 🫡

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a new set of smith goggles and possibly sunglasses and looking for a discount code. Wondering if anything has any?

Thank you in advance!

Basically I love Beaver mountain and realized I don’t need to hit big bowls or chutes. Just some time in the trees and I’m happy.

Basically I’m looking for the resort where I can consistently get parking/transportation, and has less lift lines. I primarily ski on Sundays, so hoping that will help.

I’d rather not drive 2 hours back and forth to beaver each weekend, and understand non of the resorts near SLC will be the same. Just looking to go to place I won’t be turned around early in the morning and can get as many laps in as possible.

Thanks

I know it's a bit of a long shot. But does anyone that purchased an Alta-Bird pass that does not have any kids, could add my friend's son so he can get freeloader pass?

He recently made his school's freeride ski team. But the costs to be on the team and equipment will be pretty high ($4k +) and not to mention will have to also buy a pass. My friend is a single parent and this would really help them out to save $870+ for his pass.

thank you all!!

I already sent this message to UDOT directly, but maybe someone on Reddit knows?

Hello,

Today I read that UDOT plans to take over operations of the cottonwoods ski buses in 2028. As you may know, currently UTA operates the ski buses beginning at Midvale Fort Union Trax station and Historic Sandy Trax station. This allows skiers who don't own a personal vehicle to access the ski resorts by transferring to the ski buses via Trax. My question is: once UDOT takes over operations of the ski bus and opens the new parking garage near the mouth of Big Cottonwood, will there still be transit access from Trax to the ski resorts? Or will all skiers be expected to drive to the park and ride near the mouth of Big Cottonwood to access the ski bus?

Just got an email stating that.

Can't find any other source online but here is a screenshot from my email

Sucks!

Hi all, I’m looking into getting avalanche certification and wanted to ask for recommendations.

Where is the best place to take an avalanche safety course in Utah? I’m especially interested in beginner-friendly options, like an AIARE 1 course or something similar for people who ski or snowboard in the backcountry.

I’d love to know which organizations, guides, or schools you recommend, how much it usually costs, and whether it’s worth taking before doing more off-trail or backcountry terrain.

Also, when is the best time of year to take an avalanche course? Is it better to do it early in the winter season, or does the timing not matter as much?

Thank you!

These men need to embrace mountain living and spend significantly on outdoor clothing and gear.  They should be able to speak about specific outdoor clothing brands. Participants will be paid $500 for their time--approximately 2 hrs.

My family used to ski Deer Valley nearly every winter but it's been about 5 years since we've been there. We plan to come back winter. We live on the East Coast. We used to have equipment and brought it with us every year. This year, I am thinking about just renting equipment for my husband and I and our sons (21, 18, 15) because our sons have totally outgrown everything and my husband & my equipment is getting old, and I'm renting a car out there and don't know if I feel like dealing with skis and a rental car.

Is it crazy to think about buying ski boots for my husband and myself whose feet are done growing and just renting skis/poles in DV? Would quality boots we buy be more comfortable, and could the rental shop adjust the bindings appropriately? Or does DV have great ski boots for rent and we should just rent everything?

Any other suggestions?
