As a born and raised Utahn, this makes me laugh. I think I’ll go camping.

So does everywhere else. Nothing beats Utah snow quality. They’re having a banner year too.

I got to ski out west once and it was beautiful. I’ll be out there again someday.

I grew up close enough to Snowbasin to see the lift towers from my back yard. My buddy and I used to hike up there every Saturday and ski the Strawberry side for free. They didn't check tickets over on that side because you had to ride a lift to get there. Tickets were only about $15 back then, so we would recycle cans and secretly save lunch money to occasionally buy a ticket and ski the rest of the mountain. Easily the most underrated resort out there.

Locals tip: Absolutely make sure you use the bathroom at the base lodge while you are there. Trust me on this one.

Me too! Don’t you miss ‘the greatest snow on earth’?

I miss it terribly, but due to many injuries, my ski bum days are over. Now I kayak/ice fish instead, and I'm much more upset about the lack of lake ice this winter. I work per diem as a snow shoveler and I haven't had to do it yet this year, so that's been nice. This storm will be the wet snow that sucks to shovel.
