Alta Dec 4th

Alta was really good today. After waking up to 1 inch being reported, I figured as usual they were under reporting or maybe the snow just started after 5 am. Anyway, on arriving at Alta at 9:00, there was probably about 20 cars in the wildcat lot and 5 inches of new snow on the mountain. Skiing was great, 3 runs in Ballroom good, 2 on the Baldy Shoulder which were great, 5 on the High T over to Gun-sight and Greeley which were best. Then around 1 pm, even though the sign said closed backside was open and skied, only did one over there as I wasn't all that impressed, visibility was low, snow had bit of a crust under the 8 or so of new and it just didn't ski nearly as well as the rest of the mountain. Since I didn't want to end the day on a bad note, I hiked up the wildcat cat track and skied the wildcat face which was a ton of fun. By the end of the day I would guess at mid mountain almost 9 inches of new snow fell.

Does anyone know if they will open the supreme chair and wildcat chair tomorrow as they weren't open today?

Dunno about tomorrow, but they're open weekends. It can't be worth running them midweek right now.

And nope, that pic is Greeley Bowl, not High Greeley.

Skidog was adamant that it was only a 3 inch topper... goon!

Oh i know being a WHOLE 2" off is a HUGE deal.. :roll: Yeah and I specifically stated 3-4" so...really I was only 1" off on the high end of my predictions. NEXT!

TOOL!

Not a chance...you skied it...now way in hell it was that much...I agree Alta tends to underreport but thats a HUGE stretch...

didnt matter though..the snow in Catherines was good thats all that matters!
