Weather Pattern is Changing!!!!!

2012-01-13T09:01:00.001-07:00

The computer charts for the past several days are advertising a change in the persistent weather pattern for the past month and a half. The strong and dominate ridge over the Utah and the Great Basin is breaking down which will allow the storm track to shift southward.

The first in the series of storms will be moving into the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah next Monday the 16th. As this system moves through, the flow becomes northwesterly and eventually somewhat more westerly. There is be a series of embedded "ripples" or storms at frequent intervals thereafter through the remainder of the month.

This pattern will produce mostly "inches" and not "feet" of snow but will help to keep the snow powdery and fresh.

Besides Skiing at the Canyons - Glide Down the Winter Zip Line

2012-01-06T08:55:00.002-07:00

This past fall the Canyons ski resort installed three zip lines (Winter ZipTour Adventure) to provide skiers a little extra. The three lines - a short trainer, Red Pine (800 feet) and Lookout - are located at the top of the Red Pine Gondola ski lift. Speeds of up to 55 mph are possible.

Skiers and snowboarders can purchase tickets at the kiosk or the main ticket office at the Canyons Resort Village. The zip line pass is good for a ride up and back down the gondola and a ride on the Short Cut lift to access the Lookout line. Passes are $20, $50 and $90 per person. The highest-priced ticket includes a chance to ride the trainer once, Red Pine three times and Lookout twice. For $50, riders can do all three lines and Red Pine twice. There are age, weight and height limitations.

Dress as if you are going skiing or snowboarding with a face mask and goggles. A helmet and harness are provided. Good snow boots help because it's some distance from the lifts to the platforms.

Groomers at Deer Valley

2012-01-04T10:20:00.002-07:00

Grooms play an very important roll in the award winning slopes at Deer Valley. With their No. 1 ranking overall, the resort consistently earns the prestige grooming title.

While guests our enjoying all the activities such as dining, drinking, getting a message, hot tubing and finally getting to bed, groomers are hard a work getting the slopes ready for the next day.

As soon at the slopes close at 4:30 in the late afternoon the groomers day (or evening) starts. At Deer Valley the are four lead groomers who supervise a staff of 30 in the slopes management program. The perfect "corduroy" runs are something Deer Valley has been noted for and has the reputation that it must live up to.

The first fleet of Bombardier snowcats are fired up by 4:30 and can be seen working the hills each winter night. It can be a lonely job in lean years and a busy one in heavier snow years.

All the Wasatch Ski Resorts have grooming activities with the Deer Valley process the same.

Ski Lift of the Week (1/3/12) - Great Western Express at Brighton Resort

2012-01-03T11:53:00.000-07:00

The Ski Lift of the Week (1/3/2012) in the Salt Lake Tribune is the Great Western Express at Brighton in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Type » High-speed Quad

Vertical rise » 1,745 feet

Number of runs » 14

Difficulty rating » Intermediate and advanced

Why try it » Access to cruisers as well as steep shots

The ride » Riders board Great Western, a short skate downhill from the Brighton Center. The resort’s longest lift takes you to just below 10,750-foot Clayton Peak. Straight below the unloading terminal and to the left are a handful of runs leading to a rock band that runs along most of a bowl, which requires skiers and snowboarders to pick a tight line between trees and rocks before one final shot down to flatter ground. The traverse along Elk Park Ridge provides options to jump off onto runs of varying difficulty.

Runs to try:

Golden Needle » This is the most intermediate slope among the runs coming off Elk Park Ridge, broad with enough pitch to satisfy speed junkies but not too much to freak out relative newcomers.

Silver Spur » Take the Elk Park Ridge traverse beyond Golden Needle’s turnoff, work your way through the aspen stand descend this steeper slope, which bumps up pretty quickly.

Clark’s Roost » One of the tougher runs coming off Western Trail. Short steeps, trees and rocks can get the adrenaline pumping as you select a route.

Avalanche Dogs at Park City Mountain Resort

2011-12-21T10:09:00.002-07:00

A great deal of training is needed for the dogs by their handler. A team, as it's called consists of a dog handler, their dog and a second handler/shoveler. Before the patroller is certified to be a dog handler, they have dug many "dog holes" and been buried in them. All the the dog handlers at Park City Mountain resort are trained under the guidelines of Wasatch Backcountry Rescue.

Park City Mountain Resort normally has five dogs in the program. The dogs vary in experience, the goal being to always have at-least a couple of Level A dogs. At this time the PCMR dog line-up is as follows: Belle Starr (10 year, female, golden retriever), who has faithfully served the program for 10 years and is nearing her retirement. There are four current Level A dogs; Zeke (4 year, male, yellow lab), Kenai (9 year, female, golden retriever mix), Stella (3 year, female, pointer mix) and Zoe (8 year, female, black lab). Last season, a new puppy, Tremper (10 month, male, golden retriever) began his mountain orientation. Tremper is progressing very well in his training this season.

When the ski resort open at least one dog is available. The work together at times when a skier is buried to speed in the recovery. A level A dog is available to assist at other resorts if needed or in the backcountry at the Sheriff's request.

Ski Lift of the Week (2/13) - Collins at Alta

2011-12-13T12:35:00.000-07:00

The Ski Lift of the Week (12/13) in the Salt Lake Tribune is Collins at Alta in Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Collins at Alta Ski Area

Type » High-speed Quad

Vertical rise » 1,970 feet

Number of runs » Dozens

Difficulty rating » Advanced and intermediate

Why try it » Accesses arguably the world’s best resort ski terrain

The ride » There was a time when you had to sidestep up a fairly steep hill from the Wildcat parking lot or the transfer tow to get in line for the short Collins lift to mid-mountain. But nowadays this lift, which first began operation in 1938, reaches up to Germania Ridge, an angle station making the turn next to Watson Shelter before climbing the mountain along a route blazed by the old Germania lift. It’s a quick shot to the top, with direct approaches to Ballroom, Sugarloaf’s more moderate country, the Back Side and, of course, the High Traverse.

Runs to try:

Mambo » Alta’s version of an intermediate run — mixing in a couple pitches of steepness not often found in blue runs at other resorts — it’s a classic cruiser ideal for warming your legs up for greater challenges.

Ballroom » A short but sometimes interesting traverse through trees leaves you in a bowl with any number of possible descent points, including the best powder shots off the Baldy Shoulder.

Jitterbug » An inspirational fall line near the end of West Rustler ridge. The trees that flank this run seem to collect extra powder for the long descent into Race Course Saddle.

Information in Salt Lake Tribune (12/13).

La Nina Conditions Expected to Continue - Dec 8th Update

2011-12-11T09:15:00.001-07:00

La Nina conditions are expected to continue through the winter of 2011-2012.

During the past month below-normal sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) persisted across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The majority of the models predict that a weak or moderate La Nina will persist through the upcoming winter and peak later this month or January and weaken thereafter.

Although there has been a persistent ridge of high pressure over the west - thoughts are that by Christmas or the end of the month the northern storm track will become active with frequent storms activity. What this means for the Wasatch Ski Resorts is that normal or above precipitation is expected from the end of December-April. Most of the resorts have the capability of making snow to augment the lack from Mother Nature.

Information provide by the Climate Prediction Center of the National Weather Service.

Lift of the Week - Wasatch Express at Deer Valley Resort

2011-12-06T10:58:00.001-07:00

Where • Wasatch Express at Deer Valley Resort

Type » Quad

Vertical rise » 1,400 feet

Number of runs » 16

Difficulty rating » Advanced and intermediate

Why try it » Access to some of resort’s tougher runs

The ride » Ride Carpenter Express up from Deer Valley’s main base, then ski down to the Sterling Express chairlift, which takes you to the top of 9,400-foot Bald Mountain. The offload terminal for Wasatch Express is close by, so if you bear right as you head downhill, you can reach the Wasatch lift line by riding any one of a handful of intermediate runs ideal for cruising. The other lift running to Bald Mountain’s summit, Sultan Express, also is easily reachable from the top of Wasatch Express.

Runs to try:

Homeward Bound » The only beginner run off of Bald Mountain, it takes skiers away from Wasatch Express. To get back up, take Sterling Express.

Keno » This is a fun run for a top-to-bottom, even for intermediates, because it has enough slope to build up controllable speed, is plenty wide and is flanked by tree stands.

Ruins of Pompeii » Just off a ridge from double-blue diamond run Tycoon, this expert slope offers a nice steep pitch before uniting with the bottom of Evergreen, which is just as good.

Sundance has announced the films to be shown in 2012.

U.S. Documentary

Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry • Director Alison Klayman profiles Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, famous for his ambitious art and for his public disputes with the Chinese government.
The Atomic States of America • The debate over nuclear power in the United States, where construction of the first new nuclear power plant in 32 years was announced in 2010 — a year before a massive earthquake struck the Fukushima plant in Japan. Directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce.
Chasing Ice • National Geographic photographer James Balog uses time-lapse photography to capture disappearing glaciers — and tangible visual evidence of global climate change. Directed by Jeff Orlowski.
Detropia • Directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (“Jesus Camp,” “12th & Delaware”) capture stories of Detroit residents who stay loyal to an industrial city on the skids.
Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare • Directors Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke examine America’s broken health-care system, the corporations who profit from the status quo, and a movement to bring new methods of prevention and healing to bear.
Finding North • A look at the growing hunger crisis in America, and a film that asks if policies from the 1970s could work again. Directed by Lori Silverbush and Kristi Jacobson.
The House I Live In •Director Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight,” Sundance 2005 Grand Jury Prize winner) examines the War on Drugs, and why drugs are cheaper, purer and more available now than before the “war” started.
How to Survive a Plague • A look at how young men and women, most of them HIV-positive, battled death and indifference to turn AIDS into a manageable condition. Directed by David France.
The Invisible War • Director Kirby Dick (“This Film Is Not Yet Rated”) returns with an investigative look at the rape of soldiers within the U.S. military.
Love Free or Die: How the Bishop of New Hampshire is Changing the World • A portrait of Gene Robinson, the first gay partnered bishop in the Episcopal Church, and his refusal to quit either the church or the man he loves. Directed by Macky Alston (“Family Name”).
Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present • Director Matthew Akers profiles the artist as she prepares a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, and aims to dispel critics who ask after four decades “Why is this art?”
Me at the Zoo • Directors Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch profile YouTube star Chris Crocker, a Tennessee misfit who became a national punching bag after his infamous “Leave Britney alone” video.
The Other Dream Team • A look at Lithuania’s 1992 Olympic team, representing a country freshly liberated from the Soviet Union and facing both their former oppressors and Michael Jordan (with help from The Grateful Dead). Directed by Marius Markevicius.
The Queen of Versailles • Jackie and David’s timeshare empire affords them the chance to build one of America’s biggest houses — until the business collapses and the house faces foreclosure. Directed by Lauren Greenfield (“Thin”).
Slavery by Another Name • Sam Pollard directs this documentary, based on Wall Street Journal writer Douglas Blackmon’s book, about how the end of slavery after the Civil War brought a new form of involuntary servitude.
We’re Not Broke • Directors Karin Hayes and Victoria Bruce examine a seeming contradiction that has sent Americans to protest in the streets: In a time when lawmakers slash budgets and lay off employees, huge corporations conceal profits overseas to avoid U.S. income taxes.
