The wife and I hiked for some turns at Brighton today. I was bummed to see only 14 - 18" of snow at the parking lot. Not to worry, there is a good 3 foot base all over that mountain, maybe more at the top. We got tired after a good hour of hiking and made one ride back down to the car.

The snow was AMAZING.

Brighton opens up next Wed, it looks like more snow is expected this weekend!

Sorry, no pics, left the helmet cam at home and both cameras in the car.

I was up there as well, except it was yesterday. The Bird opens tomorrow! Amazing that there was nothing last week, now a solid three feet! Woo hoo!

the first round of snow was pretty dense 7" @ 23% and 20" @ 9% will do ya pretty good. then to have 5% fluff on top ... you've got that lovely wasatch gradient
