Well, as I'm still waiting here to try to drive down the canyon I might as well get this post prepared. Today was amazing. It snowed at 3 inches per hour virtually all day. Each run was better than the last and after the road closed afternoon, the ski area turn into a ghost town. Tomorrow should be even better, after the lake effect kicks in tonight.

I'm settled in for the night at Snowbird:

3 hours and 40 minutes to go the 1 mile from GMD to the Cliff. :roll:

Was also at Alta on Sat. Good storm skiing, but the temp dropped from 21 to 9 by afternoon, and the wind chill was -9.

Leaving was a zoo. I left GMD for the first time at 4:45 pm. One hour later I had made about 200 yards up the road to the Peruvian, when I turned around and went back to GMD. Had a drink and sat by the lobby fireplace until 8:30 pm. Took about an hour from there to get down to SLC.
