This is your best video in a while, probably just because the terrain is so awesome, interesting to watch. I’ve been catching up on all the videos I’ve missed while I’ve been away on my ski trips
Nice vid but I was laughing you kept calling it Snowbasin, that's one of our other gems. Not surprised you left a bit early that mountain is a beast. We are very spoiled with our resorts here.
I wish you could ride at Alta. I'm a skier but friendly guys like you with their priorities right should be allowed at the all-ski resort. keep up the great work!
A guy named Dan runs a vlog on RU-vid called Bored Progression and his home mountain is snowbird. Hit him up next time you’re in Utah, he seems to know the best stashes. The cirque at snowbird is intense.
That’s my home resort but the gate between Alta (Al-ta) and snowbird is because of you need a pass to get through and the reason Alta doesn’t let snowboarders is because of 4:50 classic snowboarders heel sliding or sitting in the middle of the hill
I was there a couple weeks ago after their fresh pow for my first time! Literally stepped off the plane, got my rental and went straight to the mountain... It was amazing. Got nearly fresh tracks in Mineral Basin and got stuck in this crazy area that had signs hanging above saying shit like "Warning: Drops" with like skulls and crossbones. The whole mountain is absolutely insane! Its crazy to see the contrast in just a couple weeks as I was taking some of those same lines!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse nice! Can't wait for the next video. Sucks that you guys came on an off week. Brighton and snowbird get such nice snow. Powder days are epic. But hey at least you didn't have to take any classes here!
You should link up with @boredprogression. He’s fairly new to the “snowboard RU-vid” game but makes killer freeriding content... pretty sure he’s based out of there.
@@JohnathanBuckhouse I mean, haha, you have to if you're gonna ski all resorts! Same with Mad River Glen! How about this, you learn to ski, and I'll put some time into learning to snowboard!
Were you in Utah when there was pow last couple of days btw did you know that snowbird got more than 350 inches of snow this year and have a 100 inch base
I learned and got serious about skiing at Brighton, but I've spent the vast majority of my time throughout my life at Snowbird. I started skiing there with the fam when I was 3 (didn't start lessons for a few more years) riding Chickadee, their only true beginner area. So many happy winters and summers skiing, hiking and hanging at the dated-but-ICONIC 1970s, Brezhnevka-looking lodges. It's an entire mountain of steep, epic riding. Snowbird's my MOTHERLAND!
Zsnipers74 not sure about Tahoe but Bird over Breck easy. Steep mountain with one peak so tons of good hard runs and easy to get to all of them vs Breck which is a bit mellower and spread over three peaks
were you hiking baldy to get to that chute? from the top of baldy express? and then dropping back into mineral basin? im going there in 2 weeks and will try if i can find. i'm staying at alta but i want to do a day at the 'bird.
So sick! Glad you made it here to Utah. You live so close it would be worth timing it for a storm. My friend was able to score 8ft in 8 days a few weeks ago and came back with some pretty good footy: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ed6mlVo9Fw.html
Says "carry your snowboard on the opposite side of the fall line" next scene immediately carrying snowboard on fall line side 🤣🤣🤣. I know it was for the shot but still funny!
You should check out powder mountain, it’s fucking dope and my favorite for powder and it has a pretty nice park. If you ever need a place to stay DM me, me and my roommates are military too, me and 2 others snowboard, and one skies. The double black at park city’s canyons side is dope too, once in a lifetime experience!
You can ride Alta. The resort is on national forest land, so they can't stop you. But what they can do is refuse to sell you a lift ticket and refuse to let you on their chair lift. So if you ride Alta, you have to hike it
There's only 3 resorts in the US that don't allow snowboarding and two of them happen to be in Utah. Alta and deer valley. Alta was sued by a group of snowboarders including Jeremy Jones for discrimination. Alta won the lawsuit after several appeals. Alta is on US Forrest service land and shouldn't be able to only allow skiing. Deer valley is private property and can do as they please.
@@corradoswapt yeah, correct me if I am wrong. But because it is us forest service land they should only be able to dissalow them from the ski lifts (wich I think is still crazy, they should allow anyone) but not from the ski slopes. Weird that they won the lawsuit because everyone needs the ability to use the slopes if it is national forest
@@dewisselspeler9080 this is correct, they have stated you can boot pack/ split uphill and ride down after hours. I know people who have tried split boarding up the lift but got kicked off. Hell they even give mono skiers a hard time
Welp, didn't get to Snowbird. The day we landed resorts started closing. We boot 'n boarded up Brighton on 10"of powder tho. Soo nice. Maybe next years we'll get to Snowbird.
Snowbird is great when the weather is right. The wind can destroy a good day up there. But when all the terrain is open it it epic. Some of those chutes will humble you into never skipping leg day.
