101 MPH winds clocked on Snowbird today and it is supposed to intensify!!!

Coming out of Parleys this evening I was hit by the biggest blast of Wind......it moved my F550 a lane and a half! Not worth it to me.. I've been on Fairview when I couldn't see my hood and it's NO fun at all!!!!

P.S.

Be CAREFUL!!

If Cali is getting 10' of snow out of this one that means we usually get around a third to a half of what they get, 5-6" of water already in the mtns of Cali as of tonight. Cancelled or not I just hope we get a fantastic snow pack. Be safe everyone,


Winds supposed to calm (from 90mph to 20'sh mph) by morning around 9 or 10 a.m. but then comes the snow so no promises on the weather, at our own risk.


Can the forest service close the backcountry?

Phatty, I remember you making that prediction of a big storm this weekend. Can you do your little snow dance for the rest of the season? Rode with the Mafia on friday, it wasnt too back.
