Tami works a few hours a week and at her Christmas work party this year she won 4 free full day ski lift passes to Snowbird. I had never been to Snowbird before, so I was pretty excited. The snow is incredible this year. They have a 150" base right now at Snowbird. The weather was in the 50's. Nothing like Spring skiing in Utah. They just finished a brand new tunnel towards the top of the mountain that takes you to the backside of the resort called Mineral Basin. The tunnel is pretty cool. You ride a little conveyor belt and it takes you right through. At the deepest point you are about 200' below ground. They had good music playing throughout. Check out the pictures and video clip. It was a fun day and we're excited that we get to go again this season with the other 2 passes.
Here's a view just before going through the tunnel.
You can see how far from the ridge the tunnel opening is in this picture.
Here we are going through the tunnel itself with a video clip as well.
This is the other side of the tunnel. Only goes one way. To get back over to the other side you have to take the ski lift to the top.
This was the view we got as we came out of the tunnel. I love Utah mountains!
Another view of the mountains from the top.
You can read all about the tunnel and facts by going to Snowbird's website.
