Cliffs at Alta

alta ski patrol has actually demolished and/or roped off all the cliffs at the resort, as they are too big of a liability, because a skier accidently skied off a cliff and died last year during a freak electric storm. fortunately snowbird has plenty, go ski there for all the sweetness.
 
oh shit a rope, the all powerufl all mighty rope. looks liek we can't jump off the cliff todays boys there's a 2cm thick rope blcoking the way.
 
they had ropes last year. they make alot of sense, especially when you're in the white room. i thought duckign them was cool?
 
actually the whole alta snowbird area is off limits for anything CLOSE to being anything but ordinary turns nowdays... direct qoute from the snowbird security dudes "dont with with alta/snowbird; go to brighton for that"
 
brighton has a bunch of sick cliffs big and small ones and there all in the backcountry part of the hill, but you easily ski out from there to a lift and then you can go hit them again, brightons backcountry is pretty nice
 
its not that the rope actually physically will stop you from dropping what cliffs are even left at alta, its that the patrol will pull your pass if you duck it. and good luck, they have cameras at EVERY rope, and will be waiting for you at the bottom with a lcc sheriff to pull your pass and arrest you. so why go through the bother when you could go to the bird, where they even do sweet shit like fill in bombs holes under cliffs with their portable powder machines, and give you bong rips and hi fives after you go huge.
 
they actually demolished those cliffs mostly with dynamite this summer, to make way for a wider groomer sugarloaf.
 
You seriously better be joking, and this is nothing to joke about either. If this is true, this thread is a major disapointment. I don't understand how alta would do that.
 
well here's the real question:: i'm going to school in SLC and have the choice between a season pass at alta or a season pass at snowbird.... where do i go??

i mean, i always thought Alta, but if they're as big of buzzkills as everybody makes them sound, screw that
 
Alta has better terrain but you have to hike for alot of it, which is good if you are in shape because it stays untracked slightly longer, but if you are lazy snowbird has easier access to everything with only some traversing, little or no hiking. Either way, when your toughest decision is Alta vs. Snowbird life is good
 
I would stay in Snowbird as well. Alta sucks, there is no good terrain there. Plus, they don't even have a park. Lame. Or better yet, stay in PC and shred their gnar.

ye dude, Alta terrain is the worst, you should definitely go and stay in Park city, we dont need any park rats like you sticking around here.
