Powder day at Snowbasin Resort

A Snowbasin powder day: the snow stake showed 4 inches, but the upper mountain felt deeper. We skied the John Paul lift and Hollywood.

Powder day at Snowbasin Resort

Today was awesome the snow stake reported on 4 inches of new snow but the upper mountain felt like it had a lot more than that. We started our day on the John Paul lift - first time on the JP side due to less than ideal coverage but it didn't disappoint.

The first run was down Hollywood which was already pretty tracked out and sketch towards the bottom. Our second run was right down the John Paul run which is one of my favorites.

The views never disappoint at Snowbasin and the skiing was fantastic.
