Alta is FINALLY getting some SNOW!
Whew, I was beginning to ... laughing - nope, I just thought I would glance at the Alta page and BOOM!
34" of fresh snow!!! Snow on the Mountain Cams just as the sun is about to set (above)!
- Laughing that giddy laugh of a skier looking at fresh POW (powder).
Now there is only a 37" base - so don't go skiing YET!
Even with ROCK skis (those one doesn't care about) you'll be on rocks all the time.
Alta is built on cliffs - 50" of snow is needed for a base JUST to cover the rocks. The cliffs - well they can't be skied until the drifts come in, the snow piles up, etc. But then the REAL fun begins! Laughing!
