Skully, question about the canyons

[gsmolik]

Skully, My son and I are going to be in salt lake for a few days
around easter visiting relatives and are going to do some riding. I see quite a few runs are closed since it is the end of the season, it's probably going to be soft and slopply but I'm going to bring my carving board anyway. Any suggestions on decent carving terrain that is still open at the canyons or anywhere else in the salt lake area? Thanks

There are wider runs and better snow coverage for your carving needs.

The Canyons is a great resort but it faces east more and the best run to carve on in snow canyon gets bad fast due to traffic from the terrain park.

It depends on what is open, like you mentioned....

At The Canyons, if the Snow Canyon lift is still open, that's where the most wide-open terrain is, but it gets cheesed up quickly as Eddie mentioned.

If the Super Condor lift is open, Boa is always fun, as wel as Apex Ridge.

Any of the blue runs off of the Saddleback chair are OK, but can get crowded at times.

Another world, off of the Tombstone chair is usually good for a few turns, and stays fairly shaded.

There is also a lot of blue terrain off of the Daybreak and Dreamscape chairs, but the trails tend to be narrow, and I myself have not had a lot of time to explore that part of the resort, as I spend too much time teaching.

Park City is always good too, as Eddie mentioned.

Let me know if you have any other questions.....

Most of The Canyons is closed. If I remember right there is only Saddleback, Snow Canyon, and maybe Tombstone. I saw Another World from the freeway today and there is a huge dirt patch so I assume it is closed.

Tombstone and 9990 are still open but you will still have more fun at PC.
