Up at Alta, Sunday was pretty much a carbon copy of Saturday: just barely firmed up overnight and then softening very, very quickly. Word is that Snowbird (a) has been closing down at 2:00 p.m. in an attempt to preserve the snow; and (b) is considering closing down M-TH, again in an attempt to preserve the snow. Beaver, Eagle Point, Snowbasin and Sundance are closed; Deer Valley and PCMR are closing 3/29/26, with Canyons somehow holding on. The unseasonably warm weather is supposed to change this coming week, however, with the possibility of some mountain snow. At this [dry, warm] point, we'll take whatever we can get.
It was pretty similar in the Salt Lake valley too, although perhaps a little warmer-feeling since there weren't any clouds early in the day. A and M did their Dimple Dell walk; then M basked in the sunny driveway, hoping for handouts from the neighbors, while A did more weeding. Only an hour's worth this time as my hamstrings and lower back were hollerin' something fierce from the abuse the day before.
On the homecooking front, whole meal muffins (with raisins, carrots and apple) and an apricot puff-pastry galette were baked. And since it's spring, we busted out a favorite - lemon orzo pasta with asparagus and peas. (And saved the pasta water to pour on our trees because drought.)
