Mountain Spy :: May 2023

When the Spy picked up the phone in spring to begin this mission, historic snow totals throughout Utah and California were rolling in fast and furious with more storms in the forecast. Industry folks and powder hounds love to celebrate storm skiing and snow days, but your average skier or rider often prefers their powder packed for easy cruising.  

Now, not every resort can or should cater to every market, but amid all the powder day bruhaha, the Spy wondered what the mountains at the epicenter of the storm would have to say to a groomer guy or gal. Would they be friendly but frank (there are no groomers on a storm day, but expect some corduroy in the days to come)? Or too cool for school (if you don’t like powder, why do you even ski, bro)?
