Feels appropriate that my first BlueSky post is about something quirky in the ski/snowboard world.

Wondering why @DeerValleyresort has a Trump run? Or how Omar's Ear came to be @powdermountain? Find out here ⬇️

Utah ski areas have roughly a thousand trails and 173 lifts, with very few repeat names among them.
Here’s a look at the sometimes meticulous, sometimes scattershot way those names are chosen.
Deer Valley named 120 new ski trails. No ears were lost in the process.
Ski run names like Humbug might seem off-the-cuff, but Utah's resorts put months of time, web searches and reviews into picking the names of their runs and lifts.

I guessed Wyoming initially, but we have Utah license plates and they said “Utah” on the news. And we also have a Beaver Mountain logo sighting, so northern Utah it is. #TheWolfOfSnowValley #FrightClub #SkiTheBeav www.skithebeav.com

Monday's storm dropped several inches on Cache Valley ski resorts, but managers at Beaver Mountain says they'll still need several more before they can target an opening date. Beaver Mountain typically opens during the first or second week of December. #skithebeav #skiutah #snow #utsnow #kslnews
