alta done right

Tuesday was when Alta gave our ski guests the goods.  Both H and I were back at work but the canyon road opened and the interlodge was lifted at 7:52 a.m., so J and S headed up there under blue skies and bright sunshine.

The drive up was a little slow because traffic was unusually heavy for a Tuesday - although not surprisingly so given all the new snow.

At first not much terrain was open but, judging from J and S's photos (which I totally stole from their Instagrams), ropes were dropped throughout the day.  Goods were gotten.

S said she wiped out a lot - it takes a while to figure out skiing deep when you've learned to ski in the icy East (and some of us (ahem) still haven't quite figured it out - but she also said it was awesome.

You know what else was awesome?  Having these two come visit.  I think it's safe to say that S is hooked and we won't have to do much convincing to have her come back out to ski again.
