SNOWBOARDING UTAH POWDER

This online snowboard lesson will Highlight Snowboarding Utah Powder. What makes Utah so good? There is the lake effect up around Salt Lake and Park City. The Great Salt Lake is a huge body of water that is very salty and it doesn’t freeze over in the Winter. That makes clouds dump their moisture to get up over the Rockies. We get tons of light powder that makes snowboarding Utah Powder amazing. Other Snowboard Videos on YouTube & Flowing Freeride teach how to pick the right snowboard gear best for you and drills to improve your skills. You’ll have access to all our snowboard tutorials when you signup that cover every step and feedback from your coach.

You may have seen Utah’s license plates that say “Greatest Snow On Earth” and it holds up. The snow is dryer here with less water content making it crisp, light and fluffy. Snow that has more water content is heavier and harder to move around. It takes more muscle to move it and wetter snow is slower. You have more friction with wet snow and it compacts faster turning into ice quicker. Utah snow is known as Champagne Powder and this keeps conditions better longer. There are less people is Utah also that helps runs to not get tracked out as fast. Utah also has the biggest ski/snowboard resort in the U.S. Park City Mountain with over 8,000 acres of terrain.

Utah mountains get more than Colorado and that makes the snowpack deeper. Utah is further West getting more of that moisture first. I love snowboarding in the Big Rocky Mountains. I’ve worked and lived in many states like California, Washington, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming & Utah. Snow conditions make all the difference. I do like going out to Colorado because they do have bigger mountains but Utah has the better snow. Colorado is at a higher elevation making folks coming from sea level get altitude sickness. Utah powder is something you need to experience first hand.

Getting to Utah mountains is fast since there are 7 resorts you can get to within 30-60 minutes of the airport. The roads get salt brined before storms and salted during making the roads clear and safe. Hope you get to Rip Some Utah Powder Soon! Get Hooked On Snowboarding with Snowboardclass/Flowing Freeride’s techniques by going back to other snowboard videos that teach how to improve your skills, improve your knowledge on equipment, safety, terrain and weather.
