Snowbasin Report – March 10th

Snowbasin Ski School Rocks

Snowbasin Ski School Rocks

Snowbasin was skiing fast and furious on most of the groomers today. Lighting was a bit flat at times leading to some moments of pure faith flying towards the strawberry gondola base. The best conditions that we found were off hikes near MB Cirque. Mt. Ogden Chute towards the end of the day was exilerating but conditions in the top of the chute were a bit mixed.

The Skiing Bride and Boarding Groom at Snowbasin

The Skiing Bride and Boarding Groom at Snowbasin

Snowbasin received between 3-10 inches of snow on Thursday night. Early birds were able to find fresh tracks all over the mountain, with nice pockets of powder in the trees of John Paul and off the top of the Strawberry Gondola. Visibility was an issue on the top half of the mountain for the first part of the day, clearing up quite a bit in the afternoon. Snow coverage was limited on some aspects with a crusty layer underneath. Fun turns could be had but you really had to look where you were going to avoid sticky and crusty areas. Still more pow for tomorrow.

First Tracks beneath the Strawberry Gondola

First Tracks beneath the Strawberry Gondola

Thursday was an incredible, mostly sunny day after a quick powder storm. The early bird get’s the worm. Endless powder runs off Strawberry today. Photo slideshow has a great sequence of a controlled slide off the Sisters Ridgeline. We also found a small snowmouse living in the snowbank off the Strawberry Gondola top station. He was cute!
