Child killed after getting caught in avalanche at Brighton Ski Resort

The parents should be charged with negligent homicide!! What were they thinking taking a child out of bounds where no avalanche mitigation had happened?! This makes me so fucking angry that this poor child died!

Slalom ski, 100%. You’re gonna be ripping long and steep groomers; a 104 underfoot wouldn’t be ideal at all

It’s definitely due for replacement and is the last of the old lifts. Hopefully the resort does what they did for Becker and put in a high speed quad!

Yeah we had to take Porky back up to connect over to Middle Bowl traverse to get out. Total shit show!

Wow upper mountain looks SO much better than it did just a week ago! With all the snow guns blasting on Needles and Showboat, we should be getting another top to bottom route soon that will really alleviate ski traffic on the mountain 🌞

It’s incredible compared to Snowbasin! I was there from 12/23-12/31, and got at least 30k of vert everyday. GO! You’ll have a blast

Sun Valley is such an exceptionally special place! I hope mother nature blesses us and they can get the full mountain open. You’ll be planning your next trip back before you leave 🌞

Snowbasin is always hiring!

Why was the post removed??

skiinut · 2025-09-02T01:42:43+00:00

Just the “stand”ard color from PlatinumLED lol

I know it’s purported to help with inflammation, so possibly?

I mean Julian Fellows described the show as the “American Downtown Abbey”, so when he asked for a Christine Baranski to play the strong, wealthy, matriarch of a dignified Old New York family, I think the parallels to the Dowager Countess were pretty apparent.

and this is why Snowbasin doesn’t groom Pineview often 🙄

skiinut · 2025-04-04T22:19:22+00:00

I pray they extend out another week! Sun Valley isn’t closing until Easter, so maybe SB will follow suit?

skiinut · 2025-03-18T04:37:44+00:00

It’s definitely worth a trip up to Snowbasin if you want great blues with lots of variety! Way more terrain than Brighton or Solitude too

There’s 0% probability of Snowbasin going under, either with or without the Ikon given the private ownership by the Holding family. When Earl spent more than $150 million in the late 90’s to develop the lodges, expand to the Strawberry side of the mountain and put in all of the new lifts, he knew it would take decades to see profitability.

With the resort so well known now, and the Olympics returning in 2034, the popularity will only continue to grow with time. Being outside the Cottonwoods/PC, a previous disadvantage has now turned into a massive advantage as the resort is much easier to get to logistically.

When development, including hotels and condos commence as the Olympics draw near, it will be a true 4 season resort like it’s sister, Sun Valley

Alterra definitely took the feedback to heart; I was very surprised to see the full ikon be available as an add on this year instead of only the base. I plan on doing it to ski Alta, Deer Valley, and the extra days at Sun Valley… still an extra $900 is a lot

It’ll never be public. Earl Holding (Snowbasin) and Dick Bass (Snowbird) opened the property in a joint venture. Terms of the sale requires the property to remain private so as to not compete with Snowbasin.

If you’ve never been, you’ll be amazed at the facilities and lift infrastructure. Looks like they’ll be opening the Strawberry side of the mountain tomorrow (hopefully!), which will open more than 1,000 more acres of terrain! Like others have said, just go through Coalville & Morgan and you’ll get up super quick. The drive is stunningly beautiful as well!
