thomas Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 How are the carving runs in Snowbird? I was there once a few years back, but don't really remember any good runs. - Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmartshopper Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I was there last winter and wasn't terribly impressed. Ironically, at least midweek, groomers on the east coast almost seem less crowded. Peruvian gulch has a decent path down. Not really a great carving mountain, but still a few decent ways down. I always went to Brighton to carve, and actually wished I tried Solitude, because it looked awesome (from the road... I never actually tried it :(). ________ HERBAL VAPORIZERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bullet Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Carving can be great at the Bird. I usually take laps on the Little Cloud lift and ride Regulator Johnson. The place gets a lot of snow, so after storms it will take a few days to get it groomed. It is steep enough to require a winch (sp?) groomer. The slope is around 40 + degrees and great for EC. Mark Malu and Mineral Basin also have good groomers on sunny days. The grooming is generally not as smooth or consistant as Park City or Solitude, but can still be fun. I really enjoy Solitude for carving. Runs such as Diamond Lane off the Powderhorn lift and almost any run off the Eagle Express lift are great. Brighton gets a bit crowded. The Great Western lift has a few good carving runs. sj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not at the Bird, but can you say Wildcat Bowl? Sure you can. :1luvu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyagt4 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'll put in another +1 for Solitude. Know that doesn't help much, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
