The storms rolled out of northern Utah (for a moment) and cold air moved in. Saturday ski day at Alta was clear, low double digits to start and warming to low 20s in the sun, with no wind at Collins base and not in your face on the Sugarloaf chair (amazing). At Albion base, the new Sunnyside 6-pack (six-seater chairlift) had its grand opening. The singles line looks to move pretty quickly, if the lifties stay on top of it and call out enough singles to fill each chair. We have our doubts about people's ability to count to six, however.
The snow (143" base at this point) is fantastic, of course, perhaps a little heavy off-piste unless you are wearing wide powder boards. The rocks are long since buried and H reported that the Chartreuse gully (off the Sugarloaf lift, skier's left of Extrovert) is nearly filled up.
Alta's ski patrol has been working hard and they opened Devil's Castle for the first time since December. H didn't go in himself as the line of other skiers hiking in to get a taste of the Castle was epic.
Me, I'm buying heated socks. I've had enough of being cold.
