Spring Pickings In January

The conditions at Alta haven’t changed much over the past two weeks.  Mountain temps are rivaling those of late April and the snow towards the bottom is becoming extremely sticky.  Fortunately winds and lots of local traffic have kept High Boy smooth as a baby’s behind.  You can actually carry speed and grip where you need to.  Thirds and Eagle’s Nest are skiing surprisingly fast and buffy as well.

Clouds thickened throughout the day and a few flurries/rain drops started to fly late in the afternoon but only a trace was recorded by days end.  Our extended forecast has chances for snow almost every day this week but we’ll likely only see a few inches.
