Last Day was Alta --- i.e., freakin Mecca
Alta was everything that it has been hyped to be. The night time temperatures had gone up to an even Zero so that may have helped, but the snow is just better there. Only at the end of the day did I really know where I was mostly I was just blissfully moving around. It is not a tree maven, I still like Mary Jane. It is a fast groomer paradise, which no one talks about, but mostly it is quietly extreme. There are no double blacks -- just blacks with warnings and markers at most of the cliff bands. It is laid back and old fashioned, very different from what I expected.
It was to the day their 75th anniversary
WILDCAT LIFT - so cool, I ended up just always going left and hitting endless soft steep trees on the edge by Snowbird and catching condo shuttles or UTA back to the base
