Up around O-Town and Weber / Davis, Snowbasin seems to be the popular place to go. That's fine, less people at Powder Mountain. The road kind of sucks to drive up sometimes, but I figure that filters out more people.

Had a fantastic day yesterday with a coworker, very few people, fresh powder.

Going through these trees is one of my favorite thing to do up there, the spacing is just right.

This is a common sight at Snowbasin

You can see the line at the bottom from the top of the hillhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200123/dd5d7b604c725f2c2dd27bbd24069cf6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200123/980163039e863d3e013cea5cb3207334.jpg

What’s cool about Powder Mountain is that they set a limit to 2000 for the number of skiers/day.

That definitely thins out the crowds

Not to mention severely limiting season passes.
