Day 23: These ain't no leftovers!
A foot of light, fluffy powder fell on Alta's slopes Thursday night into Friday morning. Of course, all of the obvious stuff was hammered hard on Friday, but there were ways to still score lift-served untracked literally all day today. We skied untracked literally every run today except for the first run, where Skidog somehow thought that bouncing down Chartreuse Nose was a good way to "warm up" for the day. :roll: Think it's not possible? Well then you shoulda been there!
Kingslug is visiting for the week, and Tirolerpeter drove him up this morning. Skidog and Marc_C were there, too, and Bobby Danger made it by 11:30 after un-sticking some salt-frozen pulleys on his truck's water pump. We quickly headed to Catherine's, heading way out before schlepping out onto Patsy Marley:
Views this morning were positively gorgeous:
The foot of untracked fluff was absolute perfection as we dropped down to Sunnyside near the gate to the summer road. Of course, we headed out the road for more low angle treats, milking the limited vertical of that lift for everything it's worth.
It was so good, we went back and did it again.
A couple of other runs I won't divulge the location of, but let's just say that we had to take the UTA bus back to the ski area.
We've now got plenty of snow!
I called it a day at 2:15 and headed home.
