This weekend’s pathetic 2″ dump did little to help Alta’s current conditions. The warm, soft, spring-like days from last week have now turned into sketchy bulletproof ice. Alta Ski Patrol has been forced to close most of Alta’s terrain including the High T. The only gate open today was Catherine’s and based on how the rest of Alta skied I can’t imagine it was worth the short hike. The only decent skiing we found today was off the Tower 10 Traverse in Lone Pine and High Boy. The left wall of High Boy actually had some decent wind deposits where you could find a couple hit or miss turns of fluff. Other than that it was a one run and done type of day. Wednesday’s storm still looks decent with 6-10″ forecasted to fall by Thursday. Let’s hope their right this time!
very inspiring!
