Alta storms rolling in...

[NHski]

M@ & everybody,

Alta got pounded yesterday and today. Another storm in rolling in Monday and tuesday and the possibility of more later next week. I'm thinking its time to get out there. If the later week storms pan out, i'm thinking of flying out thurdsay night and staying until tuesday. Skiing Friday - Tueday. Anybody else?

I'm gonna be out there in feb, the 7th->12th : Already put a deposit on a condo. I am expecting a full report with GPS co-ords of any independantly discovered stashes... and GPS and procedure for procuring beers cause I hear it's an issue.

I'll be there-abouts in January - no GPS however, and no Alta for me. :(

For beer there's the supermarket. :)

Almost sounds like a rerun of last season.... great skiing in early December. As for going?.... I'm already slated to be in Steamboat next weekend. http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

i'm real close to pulling the trigger on this one...just waiting for one or two more weather runs by NOAA to confirm big storm this weekend.

It's looking like it'll dump this week.... just look at the national weather pattern and what's off the coast of Seattle! Woo Hoo! Steamboat got 30+ inches in the past 48 hrs and it's still snowing! The forecast says snow all week. I do believe Alta is in the same weather pattern.

Hey NHSki were you able to find a good airfare?
I havent been able to track down anything under $350 pp.
Or PWDR8S....anything cheap going to SLC January 3-8?
From Manchester or Logan.

I just paid $320 pp on southwest like 4 hrs ago.

I'm going to go either southwest or jet blue. Jet blue has $129 one way flights for some days, but not every flight. JB has that nice red eye coming home so you don't miss ski day due to flying and their planes are more comfortable. Southwest has some cheaper flights from MHT.

Its looking good for this friday on too!

Synopsis: Winter storm warning in effect late tonight throught Wednesday morning. A warm front will spread clouds and snow into the region later tonight and Tuesday. The associated cold front and upper level system will sweep through Tuesday night and shift east of your area early Wednesday. A break in the weather is expected Wednesday night. Another warm front will bring snowfall to the region on Thursday. Periods of snow are expected Thursday through Saturday. The main upper trough and cold front is forecast to arrive later Friday into Saturday which will bring colder air and the heaviest snowfall.

If anyone does Boston - Denver, try JetBlue flight 490 and 491 (I think those are right). They are red eye flights, but cheap.

When your atop high rustler take some pix, last year when I was there I missed it and ended up skiing to the left of it on Lone Pine I think, which still was good, but I missed what I was hiking for. We only skied ALTA 1 day so that 1 day was basicly exploratory.

Have fun, and eat some pow for me, it tastes good in UT.

Hey NH Ski have a BLAST. I'll be out there in Feb and I got air fair for 208 round trip! I dropped you this info in E-Mail but for others intrested check out the following books. They ROCK if your thinking about BC'ing around SLC! If the weather hits right I might go out twice mid winter and after reading the Chutting Gallery last night I also want to hit a spring trip! :cool:
