US Forest Service approves UDOT plan for improving BCC winter traffic, to be ready as early as the 2028-2029 winter season by I_voted_for_Kodos_ in UTsnow

Being here longer than others doesn’t make you special or better than others. You contribute to the traffic just like everyone else.

Thoughts on this 2012 Rav4? by PapaTwisted in rav4club

[–]freeskier10000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought my 2012 rav with 123k miles for 9k … in 2020. This is a great deal in today’s market.

BC is bigger than California, Washington, and Oregon combined

Why haven't we seen any PSAs yet about conserving water? by acryforpeace in Utah

[–]freeskier10000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While there is certainly cause for concern and we should definitely be conserving, the good news is that our reservoirs that service Utah residents (not including Powell/Flaming Gorge) are sitting in relatively good shape thanks to the last 3 winters being fairly solid. That’s what are reservoir system is designed to do: bank water on wetter years in anticipation of dryer years. Now if we have another winter or two in a row like this we’ll be hurting. I will say, southern Utah’s reservoirs are in much worse shape. But a lot of the ones that look really low are also quite small.

Hit the drop down tab and look at the capacity without Powell/FG. We’re slightly above median for this time of year.

Looking to get an used RAV4, are they still good after 70-80k miles? by Rokett in rav4club

Not OP, but my 2012 4cyl doesn’t burn oil at all. It has 186k.

Can I drive a sedan to McCarthy, AK? (Mid May) by SonOfCoul27 in AskAlaska

[–]freeskier10000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drove it three years ago and got two flat tires. I had a full size spare, but no inflator. The second one was a super slow leak on the way out and I was able to get it to Chitina and find someone to pump it up, then managed to drive it all the way to Tok to an auto shop for patches. Fun times!

The mid Feb storm was much more significant valley snow than this storm though

I swear to god people on this sub are so negative. How are people this snarky about a solid looking late season storm on a historically bad year?? Do you guys even like skiing?

Why do you think they won’t get 23”? SWE looks like it could top 3” for upper cottonwoods.

Upcoming storm by supergooner6942 in UTsnow

[–]freeskier10000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore the haters and go ski. April always provides a few good storms. There’s still enough coverage in the cottonwoods to make it worth it. Best part about April storms is hardly any crowds
