发帖数: 3311 | 1 When: today Nov. 14, 2010 - 2nd day of opening.
Where: Snowbird.
Who: me solo
What: early season, packed snow, 28” mid-mountain, almost whiteout, cold
and snowing.
How: only the tram and Gadzoom are open, - less than 20% of the whole
mountain I guess.
Would I buy ticket now: No, if you are a local. Just wait.
Will Thanksgiving be good: it will be OK and maybe the best Thanksgiving for
years. I do not think they are opening the whole mountain even then. |

We could have a wet start, and then followed by a dry mid-season, like 2007.
Of course I wish this was not the case for this year. |

发帖数: 3311 | 7 A long story. Three or four years ago, I went up to the Mineral Basin at
Snowbird. It was absolutely a whiteout condition but super nice powder day.
I thought the heck just go with it. I went down the steep slope and
before I knew it, I had two compete cartwheel s with head down. I had to
sit down for two minutes and get myself together. I struggled down the
slope and made back up again. I felt the dizziness – it’s like your brain
was turning but your skull was not because you absolutely do not have
reference as where sky is and where mountain is. I decided to go down to
the mid mtn restaurant and take a break. Halfway down the Little Cloud, in
the middle of whiteout, I puked really bad. It was a good thing that nobody
could see me anyways.
After that, I thought, man, it’s time to buy a helmet now and they don’t
just make them for the cool looks.
OK, ski the whiteout, you asked? Here is my 2cents: you have to know the
slopes for sure. Powder condition is always better than icy packed. I’d
lower my weight and anticipate steep and bumpy condition ahead. I’d also
use short turns and take many breaks and sometimes even a long lunch break.

一次少一次的滑雪票，咽了咽口水，打羽毛球去了。看来决定没错。

But nice tips for skiing white-out! And I agree you better keep your speed
under control for white out.
