that's two sunny days in a row - what?

In a shocking turn of events*, Sunday was as sunny and gorgeous as Saturday had been.  We went up to Alta to take advantage and it was more of the same: frozen up in the morning and getting softer as the day wore on.  There seemed to be fewer people too, so that was just delightful.

They opened Sugar Shoulder (the tracked-out portion above 

the Devil's Castle traverse) for the first time in years - 

we've never seen it open since we've been here

We skied Collins and Sugarloaf in the morning and then Supreme after lunch.  In a smart move, the groomers had flattened Challenger out overnight.  It actually skied quite well in the afternoon as it got softer.  I liked it so much that I even skied it twice voluntarily; I was skiing better on Sunday too for some reason.

That is the roof of a shed

We headed down canyon on the 3:15 p.m. bus.  When we got home, we saw some neighbors out enjoying the sunshine so we grabbed the dog and some beers and joined them for a bit.  Milton got to meet both neighbor people and neighbor dogs, which he really enjoyed, and we got to say hi to folks whom we hadn't seen all winter.  Hooray for spring!

*  No, it was actually forecasted to be clear, warm and sunny.  It's just that we've so rarely seen the sun this winter that two days in a row was like a miracle or something.
