Day 4 - Snowbird

Today, we checked out Snowbird. We had to search for the soft snow today but managed to find some on Gad II, one part of Mineral Basin, and the Cirque. More sunscreen was needed today since the high pressure system was in full force (wonder why?).

New to Snowbird this year is a tunnel that connects the front side of the mountain to the Mineral Basin side. At the top of the new Peruvian lift you can take the magic carpet ride through the tunnel for a few-minute ride, which then opens up onto the wide open slopes of MB. Pretty cool.



Decisions, decisions... In the photo above from the top of Mineral Basin lift you can ski down the ridge to a left traverse into the Basin or a right traverse into Little Cloud. This time, I believe we traversed to the extreme left (skiers' right side of Mineral Basin Bowl). Another beautiful day at one of the best ski areas in the country...
