The 2021/2022 ski season (for us, anyway) is officially over. We missed Alta's first closing day - and the Frank Classic celebrations - by being down in Moab, so we fully intended to go up for the last weekend. A terrific little storm rolled in on Friday, however, sticking around through the end of Saturday and dropping over two feet of new snow up at Alta. The skiing was superb, apparently. But the ski bus had stopped service the previous weekend (why?!?) and since we didn't put the snow tires on the truck this winter, we had no way of getting up the canyon with the driving restrictions in place. By the time Sunday rolled around, the storm had moved on and the driving restrictions were lifted, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of traffic heading up to the resorts. It just seemed like it was too much to deal with, so we didn't. Not a particuarly great way to end the season but all that new snow was super helpful to the snowpack, and we celebrated that.
H ended up with twenty-three days; I got twelve. Alta got 446" on the year, short of the 500" average they still claim to get but better than we thought we'd end up, given how very dry January was.
