    I have been there in 2020 they had the olimpics there. The place that u hiked up was the Olympic run. You can see 4 states from the top of that Mountain. Also if you ski down the back of the mountain and there is a lot of snow you can ski all the way to Ogden. It is about 10 miles.

  • @123EscapeArtist
    @123EscapeArtist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That hike looked crazy. If you are ever there again, head to skier’s left once you get off strawberry gondola. You can get to a short but nice and steep chute. The closest trail on the map to it is called Lone Tree. I can’t remember if I had to actually take off my skis to get there. If I did, it was for only a short distance. Mostly traversing and side-stepping from what I recall. Maybe something to consider if you ever get back to Snowbasin.

    • @LucasCatania17
      @LucasCatania17  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      awesome man! i think i know what chute you are talking about. i skiied it the second time i went back actually! could be a different chute but sounds familiar!

    Going to miss Snowbasin this season (gave up my Epic Pass). Next time you go get there early and parkin Wildcat (if it's open). And yeah Moonshine is a blast even if the runout can be a bit sketch.

      I chose the ikon over the epic but I'll be there w my parents for winter break. Love it there, moonshine goes hard when it snows a lot, they replacing middle bowl with a high speed lift. Not sure if I like that they are adding a hotel and extra parking, it will be super busy now.
