Search, JONG. We've already established Snowbasin's ranking as being pretty close to the top of the suckage scale.

Basin rules
Snow basin has it all, steeps B.C. access, shoots pow that lasts more that 1/2 a friggin day. The place has my vote. CC ride it for your self don't take anybody's word for it.
I have had a season there and at Alta and I think Basin offers more. Anybody that thinks differntly I have 2 words-- High Traverse.
Cliff- I'm tryin to get to Pow Mtn this year for sure, people keep saying the back side is super tight.

Exactly. Basin sucks. Powder has a new high speed quad. Is there anything more to discuss? I think not. Originally Posted by BLOOD SWEAT STEEL

Pow Mt. is sick if you have someone to show you the goods and don't mind slow chairs or a little hiking. It's a total throwback, can't help but love jumping on a school bus for the ride back up, I'm a big fan.

Basin sucks big sweaty balls. Alta is the only real ski resort.

MOE is right, basin only has tow ropes, tons of wind, shitty accomidations, etc. Maybe half the snow of LCC, definitely Powder mtn

sometimes.....i feel like driving up to snowbasin just to use their bathrooms. makes a person feel like royalty. where else do you find toilet paper that feels like real soft fabric. and no lint. NO LINT!!

Oh, snowbasin sucks balls...you dont want to ride their ever...hahaha unless you like untracked runs, powder shots two weeks after the last storm and riding right onto the lift then you're all about it. So what if its a little windy.

Powder has the cat to lightning and a new quad to cut down the loop dramatically. Detachable is a new idea for PM...total old school! You have to wait longer but get fresher snow longer! Low elevation.

Beaver Mountain is indeed worthy of praise. I probably shouldn't say that and spoil a secret stash, but it's an amazing place. Originally Posted by BOOMTOWN58

No lint? None? None at all?
In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!

If you are living in Logan and don't drive to Ogden to ski you should re-consider/ re-think your life!
P.S. hope you have the main 1 of the 3 lifts running this year! ha ha Originally Posted by SpinalTap

I need to use the bathroom right now. I'm thinking I won't make it from PC so I have to use the rice paper they offer in these parts. Marble floors and walls, individual crapper rooms with wood doors, NO LINT...<sigh>, maybe next time. Originally Posted by Lynx

Why has there been no mention of Wolf Creek? Pull your heads out of your asses folks, anyone who is anyone is getting a pass at that place.
