G’day Lucas, yes from Australia again. Keep up the great content. I know you enjoy the views of the Utah mountains, however, as an Aussie who has ski-travelled to France, you’ve got to get yourself over there. The views are just mind-blowing. Another plus for France/Switzerland ifs the lift systems. They make USA look old and tired. I’m not at all dissing your content! Also, put Australia on your map!

Don’t be hard on yourself about not filming enough Lucas. This was a perfect skier’s map to the amazing amount of POW and fairly solid early season terrain open at Alta, which along with your previous opening Alta POW day, created such a deep appreciation for the infamous Little Cottonwood Canyon and a reason to visit this time of year. Cheers bro, keep up the great work!

Snowbird either goes way too overboard on the avalanche control or there just getting too much at once. They are already tracking to be like last year when half the mountain was shut down more often than usual. When I came up last year half the mountain never opened for over a week straight. That was in January. I was a little bummed out about it to be honest. Had one good day out of 6 days.
@peoplewatchingotherpeople9 ай бұрын
Last year was an insane year. There's only so much patrol can do when we got the amount of snow we did last year. Sorry you only got one good day though. And to be fair, they're "tracking" to have half the mountain shut down is a bit unfair, when SB was only at a mid 20's base until this storm. They only opened a week ago. We just didn't have much snow to start with, then a giant dump on top of the lighter snow from Friday makes for tricky conditions for patrol to handle.
