If you missed the opening of Backside yesterday don’t fret. The mountain was completely empty leaving plenty of lines for you late comers. The coverage is excellent and the High Notch is even easily navigable. The Eddie’s High Nowhere hike is a bit frightening at points but, the top turns are worth the trip as it’s skiing smooth and chalky. Susie’s trees, although a little tracked by the end of the day, was still skiing soft and fluffy. It’s been less than a week since Alta’s opening day and patrol have already opened most of the mountain. Keep up the good work, guys and gals! Can’t wait for Supreme!!

Pirate rock looks skecthy. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen skis come off over there, and then back on for the rope slide.
