I was pretty surprised to see this from the Salt Lake Tribune this morning. I had to check the calendar to see if it was April Fools. It was in their online article discussing Sundance's planned expansion.
520" of snow and more than 100" of base is pretty darn good. Alta clocked in with 538" and currently has a 95" base. End of snowcover at the Timpanogos Divide SNOTEL at 8,180 feet, pretty close to the summit elevation of Sundance Ski Resort, was May 4.
Who knew there was such a great microclimate on the south shoulder of Mt. Timpanogos.
Lol.
Perhaps this is a leftover from 2022/23 that somehow snuck into the online article.
Hehe, it's probably a Provo skier's prank (dream). We skied their closing day actually, and there wasnt 100" anywhere on that resort back then. Ribbons of death on Wildwood, dodging rocks on Pipeline cat track, although decent coverage and quality on Red's. It's a decent place, and cool they're getting a high speed quad, but it looked sparse in places. I guessed then that the rain events during the season really hammered their base and they never fully recovered.
ReplyDeletePic is from the amazing season two years ago.
