UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Noted. I haven’t unlocked that ECU yet. But could. Let me see if I can get some 04B14 2.0 tunes and I’ll get back to you. PM me if you have a specific tune you are interested in and I’ll see if I can get it.

 

Thanks!! No rush. I'm still on the fence if I want to pull the trigger.

I'll look into the specific tunes (I've lost track in the last few weeks, there's been so much action on the vf tuner thread)

 

Any trail recommendations, fishing spots, or must-see's for the Capitol Reef NP, Torrey, Boulder area?

 

The fremont river holds some good fish. Three different sections: upper (close to fish lake), middle (bicknell bottoms), and lower (the canyon section closest to CRNP). The lower is the most unique section and holds some nice browns and bows for sure. It can be accessed when highway 12 crosses the river approximately 6 miles south of Torrey. Boulder mountain is renowned for its still water fishing, I lack a lot of knowledge for that area though.

 

Thanks for the tip! Exactly the response I was looking for. I will report back after the weekend and let ya know.

 

Caught this guy down there a couple weeks ago. They are far and few between but they are in there!

 

Hell of a fish!

 

Quoting my own post to update.

I have the following ECU’s unlocked and OV/vF tunes available:

Anyone know of a good fire road that has good views of the leaves? Preferably something that isn't too busy and takes you to a good overlook?

 

It's not a fire road, but I went up Butterfield canyon today and the leaves were pretty good down low. When you get up higher they're pretty much gone.

 

I went up there a couple weeks ago. It was fun, but too early in the season

 

I got a question for any of you skiers or snowboarders out there, obviously other than park city what are of the best ski mountains that are close? Primarily among the local ones and also other ones that are within a decent drive?

 

I like Snowbird.

 

*Gestures broadly at the Wasatch between Ogden and Provo*

 

very nice of you. If any 3rd gen owners are on the fence about the ovtune, i HIGHLY recommend it. I've got the 87 octane performance tune on it and it is a world of difference. even get better fuel mileage as a result.

 

***decent drive***..... see @Gunshot-6A 's post here...lolol:::

We really are spoiled here in the wasatch. we've got world class resorts within an hour's drive of our homes. Most other places can't do that. Also, I find that it depends on what kind of terrain you wanna ride and your experience level. brighton/solitude are great for beginners and for snowboarders. good parks at brighton. good terrain at solitude. Snowbird is great for advanced riders of both ski and snowboard variety. Alta...obviously, skiing. Sundance is great when there's snow. smaller resort but you can get some laps in pretty easily if you're there. PC/canyons is just massive. and DV is great for skiiers with...well...let's not beat around the bush...money.

 

DV skiing is the best! I got a free day pass there last season through a buddy, and even as a die hard Alta fanboi, the hogh retail cost and skiiers only really keeps the filthy casuals away.

 

I need to make my way out there at some point. never been.

 

Thanks guys, I know there’s a ton of resorts around I just have no idea what’s good and what bad and what kind of snow they all get, I’m an advanced snowboarder who loves powder but my wife is a more beginner skier so I was trying to figure out which mountain would be better for us, sounds like I got a lot to try out though.

 

Thats the point. Theyre all good!

Our worst resort (Sundance due to slow lift, lower elevation) is still miles ahead of anything I had in Virginia
