NateIt’s not that often that Alta sees close to a foot of fresh pow in mid June. In fact it’s only happened 3 times in the past 20 years. Luckily I was able to catch it this time around and was extremely impressed.
Most of Alta’s snow has already melted away but you would never know it after today. I skied a Gunsight lap that was absolutely phenomenal and then traversed over to North Rustler fearing lots of rocks and stumps. Fortunately the coverage was surprisingly good and I only nicked a couple of rocks on my way down. I’d say if you get after early tomorrow the snow should still be plenty light and fluffy. Considering Friday’s temps look to be back in the 90’s this is probably your last chance to catch some powy face-shots. Get some!
Yeah for June pow!!! Couldn’t get anyone to go up with you? I bet Main Chute would have been epic.
Yeah my original plan was to hit up Main Chute but they closed the tram just as I was heading up and I couldn’t get any ski partners to head up there with me. Check your email for a pic of Main Chute that day. Looks super epic!
