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!
