Ski season finally started today in Little Cottonwood. The drive up was snowy and slippery, there were terrain closures due to avalanche danger, and yes it was pounding snow. Pounding like I have not seen it in a long long time, like 3″ to 5″ an hour pounding. Alta was the call today since the terrain at Snowbird was ultra limited due to wind and heavy snow fall. The Wildcat chair was epic, with soft landings and face shots for all.
Late day Collins was also epic, with Fred’s Trees skiing creamy good and fast. The traffic jam on the way down was pretty all time. We rolled the dice and found a place to crash at Alta tonight hoping that we can score some County Club laps tomorrow. With multiple slides crossing the road by 9:00pm tonight tomorrow might be a tough time to get up. Good luck to all…
