Brighton was reporting 7 inches this morning, which seemed about right. It was definitely wind loaded in some spots and scraped off in others. It was enough to fill in the mountain but there was still the layer of crust lurking down below. They need a huge dump in order to see the last of it. The snow was also really dry, something like 4.5%. The clouds disappeared and it ended up being a bluebird pow day. Even with the sun, the high was in the low single digits though. It was COLD. Couldn't have asked for a better ending to my trip though.
First run of the day. I love Milly.
We knew it was gonna be a good day on the drive up the canyon.
Solitude.
Milly. My favorite part of Utah.
You can't see this sticker, but it says "Nobody cares that you ski at Alta." I laughed when I saw it. Also, this guy had some FAT skis.

Overall, it was a great trip. We didn't get the big dump we were hoping for, but Utah is fun regardless. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Sickness. Super sick drop Tom! Great pics and videos for the whole trip. Wish I could provide the same love, but..........
We had a great day at PC today and I got mad pics, but I left the upload cable in NC... may go buy one tomorrow, so I can provide some goodness... I think I may have broken my finger today, but fingers crossed (lol), we'll hope I didn't.
Bird tomorrow...
