Who’s skiing this season and where ya going?

[SJP]

I live in Park City and headed out soon for day 3 in a row. Im usually on the mountain everyday Im here for an hour or two, its the daily workout. Driving tomorrow to Telluride to spent a couple days with a friend. Never been there before. Living here its easy to just stay here. I can go backcountry skiing from my house and in bounds Park City has some good terrain. If you go out the back country gates in Park City off Peak 5 lift you can quickly access the places that have killed people over the last few years and is steeper and more dangerous than inbounds anywhere else. If I go anywhere else its around to the Cottonwoods or Snowbasin.

When we lived in Phoenix full time we would take friends who havent skied to Mt Lemmon. For around $70 at the time it included rentals, a few hours lesson and lift ticket. At almost 1000ft vertical it cant be beat. We had a lot of fun there but it has to have snow so late Jan early February is just right. I rarely went to Snowbowl, the whole culture thing there is entertaining to watch. Everyone is wearing jerseys, blasting rap on their bluetooth speaker and etc.. lol.. In PC the US ski and snowboard teams train here. Everyone is chill and respectful, no 'gangsta' culture in the X-game/Olympic athletes that Ive seen. Maybe a little at Woodward but they get humbled real fast by the locals. Brighton is a tad different but its where the pros go daily.

I love Park City. Such a cool ski town and very easy to travel in and out of. I have been to some really great spots out of bounds. A great friend and his boys lived there the past 10 years and had a lot of local knowledge. I also enjoyed spending 4 days last year snow catting in Weber.

Two days at Beaver Creek and two at Vail so far this season. Headed back out to Vail after Christmas for a week and then again in January. Hopefully another quick trip in Feb or March. I had 20 days last year. Not bad for having to fly in each trip.

The snow cat skiing would be awesome. Did you go to the place on Weber Canyon rd east of Oakley? I’ve always wanted to try that. The Colony in the Canyons side has their own snow cat for the residents. For the cost of the homes and HOA it should..

Bit of trivia, Mt. Lemmon is the southern most ski area in North America. I've seen pictures of snow 8 feet deep at the top, I guess skiing was really good that year, LOL. I never skied there but ate at the Iron Door restaurant quite a few times.

Yes - Park City Sno Cats. It is an awesome outfit and honestly once you go for the day you will not want to go to the resorts. Just an unreal experience. Less $ than Heli and I honestly like it better. Way more relaxing and enjoyable day in the back country. Highly recommend it.

Don't snow ski or snowboard. But I will be waterskiing all winter long down in MARINE STADIUM LONG BEACH

Just spent a few days in Mammoth, there is coverage and the snow is decent, but it’s just groomers and that gets kinda old after a day or two on a snowboard. I think that stuff is okay for skiers but I like steep and deep carving powder. We may have to take this show on the road in the pursuit of fresh snow mammoth only has like 50” right now, still super fun but not the good stuff yet it’s good to be black in mammoth, IYKYK.

Staying close to home so far, but looking at taking the train out to Whitefish over Valentine's Day. Thinking of doing Valentine's Day 2026 in Europe. Maybe Avoriaz?

Utah has been getting decent snow falls the last week or so, about 5"-6" on the Wasatch front @ 5000' in the cottonwood canyons. Something to consider.

Back to Vail for a week one week from today.

My buddy just got back from a week at ABASIN and Snowmass and he and his boys had a blast. They said they didn't really have any issues with long lines at all which surprised me from what I've been seeing online.

First trip of the year last week, two powder days and one blue sky and sunny, trying to decide where to go this coming week!

There was another Ski thread - but this one popped up so here goes:

We're headed to Japan next week. Trying to locate a Cat to take us up in Asahikawa, trouble locating anything that looks like a possibility.

Anyone have knowledge or referrals in that area?

Loveland was our go to for several years growing up... We're talking back when lift tickets were still under 50 for the day. What are they now?

$149. Loveland is our go to. I worked there for a few seasons in the early 90s and know the area well. It also helps that we live about 35-40 minutes away when I time the traffic right.

Awesome. Grew up off of Jewel in Lakewood. Back in the day a fraction of those houses existed, and I could hop on the 10 speed and be at RedRocks after about a 10-15 minute bike ride. Brother still lives right next to Chatfield Res, and Dad is on Green Mountain. Cool area... too bad it's so over grown now.
