My wife and I are coming this January…. This will be our first time out west. Biggest place we’ve ever skied was Snowshoe Wv. We can’t wait! We both are intermediate skiers. Do you have recommendations for places to rent skis…. Are there early passes you can buy there other than Icon?
I could argue both ways I think that snowboarding is all around tougher to stay up on considering the lack of poles. But with skiing when you actually do fall It's much harder to get back up and start skiing again.
If I book at Alta and go to snowbird for a hour can I go back to Alta on a lift or do I have to take a shuttle and the other way around snowbird to Alta
A very beautiful girl with a great personality and an awesome job. I envy her lifestyle a lot, and how successful she's become on her own in her life...making it as a freelancer must be nice.
I've got some work in salt lake city and thought about going to this resort. Glad i seen this video before hand though, i didn't know there was that much discrimination towards snowboarders :(.
I ski and snowboard. Both have there ups and downs. Depends on the situation. And both take an equal amount of skill depending on witch part of the mountain your on.
I disagree, snowboarding is much harder to start out, but easier to perfect. On the other hand, skiing is easier to start, but much harder to perfect. I should know, I ski and snowboard as well.
John Lumapas I checked out your Google+ page. I see that you follow skiboardsonline. Go to the forum and search for Westfest. That's the event we hold every year at Alta and the other Cottonwood resorts.
If there is a traditional ski area, it's Alta. Also, because boards are fat and put all the pressure on one edge, they wear down the snow really fast. Also, I'v seen a boarder hike up Baldy from Snowbird, then ski down the Alta side and he was taking a snowball about every 5 seconds and getting booed and yelled at.
Deer Valley was also skier-only in 2012-2013, after allowing boarders in 2011-2012. But Snowbird, Brighton, and I think all the others are board friendly. You can't get on the Alta LIFTS with a snowboard, but it isn't uncommon to see a boarder doing their last run of the day on Alta slopes. You won't get arrested or anything. Hint: Snowbird is for Skiers AND Snowboarders and your pass is good for both. Not a lot of reason to do it though, besides pissing off snooty Altans.
Warren Miller said himself if snowboards were invented first, that resorts wouldn't let you on the lifts with a funny thing on each foot. Snowboard has a much shorter learning curve but they both have their challenges.
She does these videos so she doesn't have to buy the $$$$1750 season pass and ride for free. Serious vocal fry on her voice too.... she's chillin' with the Ski Chads... if ya know what I mean
If you love us snowboarders like you do? Then why are you so selfish with all that great Alta terrain? Didn't Alta's mom teach how to share? The powder God's are mad. But I still love you girl.
True analogy, but i do find that snowboarding in the same conditions is harder. Initiating a turn in deep pow is harder and moguls are shit on a board, but i still have more fun.
What about safety? it is not important? sure she is good, but a helmet is not bad to wear, and for me, and i'm sure for many else, it's actually just stupid not to. Specially when you're "surfing" double diamonds between trees and rocks. Great video and useable information, but come on, you're recommending not to wear a helmet, with a "commercial" like that :-)))

Your dad is almost 80? You don't look a day over 25. Alright Dad!
I ski and snowboard. Both have there ups and downs. Depends on the situation. And both take an equal amount of skill depending on witch part of the mountain your on.
no boards at Alta ? but why ?
She is going to make a great mom some day. A Utah Wasatch Snow 🐰! They are the wildest !
she said she really really loves snowboarders haha....
she would be a hot mom
does alta still has ban in snowboarding!?
I think so. They are getting sued atm by a group of snowboarders.
Can't you still hike around it and explore it but snowboarders can't use the lift?
Jackson Bob Yes, you can hike it but they wont give you a lift ticket. you shouldn't get in trouble either because it is public land

How do you become a pro please tell me
Ski school to ski
Would you pick her or to be skiing there in the pow right now?
I think Id take... the pow right now

richardsonj96 You're completely right.
Completely correct, I always see snowboarders just side skid down tough trails if they ever feel in trouble no problem
@@steeltwistercoaster you can do that on skis too
Such a honey!
I'm moving to Utah
hongo mania haha Utah is really fun
Wait is Alta part of snowbird
No. They're two separate resorts that have connections to each other.
YES THEY ARE 2 SEPARATE RESORTS BUT SNOWBIRD OWNS ALTA AND EMPLOYEES AT ALTA ARE PAID BY OWNER OF SNOWBIRD . JUST LIKE VAIL OWNS WHISTLER.
What about Skiboards/Skiblades? are they allowed in Alta???
They are. A group of us go there on shorties every year at the end of Jan.
rawfoodnoob Sweet! thank you for the info :D
John Lumapas I checked out your Google+ page. I see that you follow skiboardsonline. Go to the forum and search for Westfest. That's the event we hold every year at Alta and the other Cottonwood resorts.
I will Do :D thanks again :)
she is beauuuutifulll
Great vid! Her voice is super muffled though!
Crap, I can't do it. Hate mornings

skiers are just pricks on sticks
Does anyone know what goggles she's wearing?
Thank you! much love
probably the steepest resort in the US behind Jackson Hole
FREE ALTA
no

molochi WTF
I ♥ this girl :|
Yeah, Coootane, you really need to get yourself to Altabird. It can be called many things, but flat is NOT one of them.
Warren Miller said himself if snowboards were invented first, that resorts wouldn't let you on the lifts with a funny thing on each foot. Snowboard has a much shorter learning curve but they both have their challenges.
The Random Page true
and because she lives in salt lake city
am I the only one who likes alta not allowing snowboarders? it keeps all the snobs out of snowbird
I would definitely ski with her. Sorry snowboarders i'm one up on you already!
i wish i was snow, just so she could love me :D
@blimpstatio snowbird all the way no doubt all day every day 120% snowbird
sorry youre having a bad day bro, youre probably just stressed because it isnt snowing yet!
OMG! $116 for a day pass, 3 times more expensive than the alps.
what? $116? That's half of vail's day pass price.
Maybe you're not from the US, but any ski resort worth riding cost that much at least. All my local mountains are around 200 a day
@@stevenmcdabbin7652 yea but those prices are insane.no matter if you can afford it.
That girl is gorgeous...
who cares both amazing sports as long as your havin fun and shredin :D
She does these videos so she doesn't have to buy the $$$$1750 season pass and ride for free. Serious vocal fry on her voice too.... she's chillin' with the Ski Chads... if ya know what I mean
Ok cutey pie lets go
She's cute
I SKI AND SNOWBOARD, YOU MAD BRO?
Snow boarding is honesty way more fun, and requires more skill than skiing.
I love both, but honestly, you can't dis snow boarding. It's the shit
no??? like everyone has
and then this year was the complete opposite of lasts :(
yep and no but yes
Its not very difficult to charge on a pair of skis. It is on a snowboard so that's just my way of looking at it. Both sports are awesome.
Looks a little flatski. Didn't see anything long and steep
Snowboarding is the shit. I too do both. But I disagree, I think skiing requires more skill than snowboarding.
If you love us snowboarders like you do? Then why are you so selfish with all that great Alta terrain? Didn't Alta's mom teach how to share? The powder God's are mad. But I still love you girl.
True analogy, but i do find that snowboarding in the same conditions is harder. Initiating a turn in deep pow is harder and moguls are shit on a board, but i still have more fun.
That is the biggest kitchen i have ever seen
naga i have her number
u kill the pow. not hating, its just the nature of the sport
alright we'll switch, you ride my board and i'll ride your ski's. i think you'll have a reality check..
royalefilmsinc so will you lmao.
Hot
no, I asked first ! jk
Alta “ it’s tradition to not allow snowboarder” everyone else “but why though” Alta “ oh because they destroy everything” everyone else “nope”
i think she should have gotten bigger goggles
you have to ski to date her ha ha
borders wreck the powder
Sucks that Alta and snowbird are a bunch of bigots cuz I would love to snowboard there.
I'd give you free refills, if you know what I mean ;)
lol
so you can´t go to the other part if your snowboarding. that´s some left over 80´s shit so stupid...
I can't believe Alta still doesn't allow snowboarders on their mountain..ridiculous
Eh whatever, just learn to ski.
"usually we get 3% snow" I'ms sorry but as a Utahn that's an absolute lie.
She said 3% density snow not 3% snow
Yeah, 3% density is rare. We’ve had a few this year between 4-5% though.
Oh, there was about 4.5” in November 2018 that fell at 3 - 3.5% water.
What about safety? it is not important? sure she is good, but a helmet is not bad to wear, and for me, and i'm sure for many else, it's actually just stupid not to. Specially when you're "surfing" double diamonds between trees and rocks.

She's an adult. It's her head, her choice. Worry about what you do and not what others are doing.
sorry youre having a bad day bro, youre probably just stressed because it isnt snowing yet!
