ALTA, UT — It was a clear, beautiful, warm weather day up at Alta with a terrible inversion settled into the valley. I just ripped run after run on the perfectly groomed Race Arena run while Mindy did her thing on Blue Bell.

Storm Skiing at Alta
ALTA, UT — Rode the bus to Alta. Skied on Atomic Crimson Ti skis on this day. Strange day. Lots of wind in the morning. Eventually the front passed and a storm settled over Alta that produce copious amounts of snow. Found a spot off the high traverse I loved, so I skied laps. I just kept getting on at the Collins mid-station.

Terrible Conditions
ALTA, UT — I escaped from a weekend of work to possibly the worst conditions I have ever seen at Alta. (Of course, they were typical conditions for back east, but this is Alta!) Apparently there were torrential rains the day before. Mindy and I had a good time, but not at all because of the skiing. We didn't stay very long. Garlic burgers and beers at the Cotton Bottom Inn kind of saved the day.

SNOWBIRD, UT — Enjoyable ski day with Steve and his dad. A bit of fresh snow on the ground. Last run of the day down one of the Upper Cirque chutes was challenging, but fun.
