Spring powder special! We have reduced the price of donated Snowbasin lift tickets to $50 and Sundance tickets to $35, about half of window price. Take advantage of fresh powder on a fat snowpack and benefit the Utah Avalanche Center at the same time. Every penny spent on these donated tickets benefits the Utah Avalanche Center.
Wow... what a good storm for the eastern front! Storm totals on the North Slope are close to 18" with about 1.5" of water. Winds mellowed significantly yesterday afternoon and remained light overnight, blowing just 5-10 mph even along the highest peaks. Under partly cloudy skies this morning, temperatures are in the teens. On a go-anywhere base, mid elevation, wind sheltered terrain is gonna be the ticket today.
