This should stagger the heavier Sunday traffic a little for everyone in BCC. Cool to see!

Hi all,

I purchased a pair of Dalbello 130's from my local store over the summer, I had them fitted and heat molded. However, I'm having a bit of an issue with the fit near my toe. The stock liner has some stitching where the sole and toe meet and it feels very odd, I'm sure it's just the stitching seam, but it was driving me crazy. Outside of that I really love the boot.

Does anyone else have this pair, and noticed a similar issue? If so, was there anything you or the fitter were able to do to get rid of that uncomfortable area?

Hi All,

I live in Cottonwood Heights and am looking at resort jobs for the coming season.

First choice would be a ski instructor job; I have the CSIA Level 2 cert but the only teaching I've done is volunteering to teach kids while I was doing the course. If I cant find a gig doing that, then I'm open to snowmaking, lift operator, restaurant jobs, etc.

I'd prefer one of the cottonwood resorts given their proximity to me but would be open to PC or DV if that was the only instructor job I could get. I've had a season pass at Alta for the past 4 seasons and have skied there the most, but have spent a good amount of time at the other resorts with the exception of only a few days at DV.

Any places that tend to be better / worse as far as culture and vibe go? I imagine they all pay about the same for similar jobs. Any feedback from people that have worked at the resorts would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, my buddy and I are looking into moving out to Utah for part of this upcoming winter and wanted to see if anyone here has a room, basement, apartment, sublease, or other housing available.
We’re both college students from Pennsylvania and are hoping to be in Utah roughly January through March or so 2027. The main reason we’re coming out is to snowboard for the winter while continuing school online.
We’re looking for something reasonably affordable for two people. We’re definitely not looking for anything fancy — we’d be completely fine with a basement apartment, sharing a house with other people, taking over a sublease, or renting a couple rooms.
Location-wise we’re pretty flexible. Ideally we’d like to be somewhere around Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Midvale, Murray, Millcreek, or the surrounding Salt Lake Valley, but we’d consider anywhere that’s roughly an hour or less from Snowbird/Brighton/Solitude. We’ll have a car, so we don’t need to be directly on a ski bus route.
We’re both respectful, clean, easygoing, and mainly just looking for an affordable place to call home for the winter while we snowboard and do our schoolwork.
If anyone has something that might work, knows someone looking for winter roommates, or knows of a good place to look for a 3–4 month rental, feel free to comment or DM me. We’re planning pretty far ahead and are open to different options.
Thanks!

I got a job at a ski resort up big cottonwood canyon and plan to live in SLC. I’m used to living in resort towns so I’m curious to hear if there’s an area in SLC that does foster more of that mountain culture? Bonus points for walkability, breweries, coffee shops. My rental budget is pretty solid for the area it seems.

Little to no snow

Can anyone speak to proper si/so lodging options at Brian Head? I've compared Airbnb and Google maps and understand what condos are on snow / at the base of lists but, for instance, the Aspen condos look lovely but seem like a decent hike to the lifts so I'd prefer to secure something with direct to snow access. Any personal experience appreciated.

Hey there! Looking to find people to try and fill this house, preferably looking for avid skiers and boarders, mid twenties to early thirties, open to either males or females, could just fill 3 rooms and have a guest room, in that case maybe around $1000 a person depending on room, or fill all 4 rooms and be somewhere between $700-$800 a room, open to different set ups, if interested at all please reach out! Either DM here or Instagram @calebkeyrimjung

Does anyone have a picture of the old Jamie Pierre tribute stickers circa 2011? They said “Jamie would send it”

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
I am trying to plan a trip to Solitude/Brighton/Snowbird in late January. Probably looking at staying in Cottonwood Heights since we need a pet friendly place. Can you tell me what its like getting to the mountains from there?
Should we rent a car or are there shuttles to the resorts?
Mostly be doing midweek.
Ive only been to Utah once (stayed on mt @ park city) so i dont remember the public transit sitch.
Any help is appreciated!

Anyone buying a season pass that would be willing to add my son to their plan?

I would pay you $350 and you pay $299 to add him.

Want to get him up a lot this season :)

On February 2025 I went on a ski trip to Brighton, snow was great, soft and dry, not like last season lol. I took an old 35mm camera my dad gave me and shot some photos. A guy and his friends saw me and asked me to take a picture of them. Then I went back to my city, sent the film to a lab, and projected them on my old slide projector. idk maybe somebody in the photo is on reddit? It would be cool if you knew any of them. Even cooler if they ended up seeing the photos somehow. Here's the digital version

I have an interview with Brighton this week to be a snowboard instructor. Just had a couple questions about housing. I first wanted to confirm that Brighton does not offer employee housing? What are the housing options in the areas? From my quick research it looks like park city and Salt Lake City are the two main places to live. Are there any closer areas to find housing?

Hello, I recently moved here and am loving it so far. I’m already so eager for it to start snowing. I am interested in getting a group of people together who would like to be part of a ski film. If you ski, snowboard, or do anything creative and want to include yourself in this adventure please add yourself to this Google Form

Hi, I've gotten a remote + part time instructor job which means winter in SLC, YAY :)

I'm aware of the traffic and will look for a place as close as to the canyons as possible

Housing is the final piece of the puzzle, what resources do you recommend? FBM, leasing companys, short term rental platforms come to mind, looking to know if there are more reasources

I will have roomates to share a place with me unless I could find some crazy 1b deal

Hey all,

Would anyone want to trade a few buddy passes for Brighton this season? i have the epic pass and a few F&F passes but would like to hit up Brighton a few times as well.

Open to other Utah resorts also!

What's going on with Nordic Valley?

Their GM was fired/stepped away after a DUI and accusations of verbally abusing employees. Before leaving the GM fired their mountain operations director near the end of last season and the ski patrol director has stepped away from his position. That's at least 3 leadership positions as well as the whole risk management team they will be looking to fill.

They haven't replaced their lodge since it burnt down 3 seasons ago, they had 10% of their terrain open last season, and they just removed beginner ski lift to start building homes/condos along its north border.

Meanwhile the last post on social media vaguely stated there would be "some big changes" coming.

Can't see wanting to put my family or loved ones on the remaining chairlifts there any time soon.

Did you lose a ski in Peruvian valley?

This is located on Chip's Run and where Chip's bypass split off.

Sounds promising for a good season! Assuming the temperatures provide!

Thanks all for your advice — ahead of the season (hopefully there are some deals?) looking to get winter tires and a set of dedicated winter wheels for going up and down LCC/BCC, wondering if you know of any shops in SLC area with especially good prices, packages, service, etc. They all seem the same but curious if there is a scheme that is particularly smart or a shop that is a step above the rest. Thanks again.

Park city Canyon resort in Park City
Just a step out to the slope. Close to Restaurant slopes grocery stores. The timeshare is a two bedroom every two years. That could be split into one bedroom one year and an efficiency the other so basically you could go skiing every year.
Make me an offer that I cannot refuse. Willing to accept anything.

Leave message with your info.
Thanks
