We just had another small storm come through over the weekend, and received about a foot of snow in the upper elevations of the Park City ski resorts I think the storm was a surprise to everyone as we were not expecting much more than an inch or two. As we got up late Sunday morning we looked outside and were surprised to see about 6 inches on the top of the hot tub. We even slowly got ready and once I finally was out to snowblow the driveway I started to realize it could actually be a good day on the mountain. We went up to Park City Mountain Resort and had a great day. The Snowbird snow report had mentioned only 5 inches, and Park City and Deer Valley reports mentioned less. I think much of the snow fell in the couple hours after the reports were made, and before everyone got on the mountain, because back in areas like Motherlode and Jupiter, there was an easy foot or more.
The mountain was quiet, again I dont think people were expecting a pow day. We rode on pioneer for a couple laps, which was nice. We tried out Motherlode Meadows area but was still too thin of a base for coverage. Jupiter lift at PCMR was good, but you still had to be careful of the thin base layer, there are still logs, stumps, roots, etc sticking out. I believe another storm is working towards us, so hopefully we get more!
