We got snow! I mean, it was just a little two day storm that brought rain and a couple of inches of very wet snow in the valley, but about 30" in the upper Cottonwood Canyons. It's too little too late but every single inch counts at this point. And when H went skiing on Saturday, he reported that it was MUCH better than it had been last week. (And apparently Friday was really quite good storm-skiing.)
It wasn't that busy, though. Which surprised me a little, since so many other resorts are closed, notably Deer Valley, PCMR, PowMow and Snowbasin, with Canyons closing 4/5/26 - I figured Alta would be very busy. But I guess folks have written off the season and moved on to other things, like golf and kids' sports. H reported that all the regulars were there, and the patio was getting full as he left midday. It was a gorgeous day, clear and sunny, the storm having moved on, but it was still a little chilly - around 30F at the summit - which had a negative effect on the number of girls in bikinis (none, at last count).
Down in the valley it was a gorgeous day too, clear and sunny. A took a stand against the weeds, refusing to acknowledge them (or pull any) for one day. Instead, Milton and I did our usual Dimple Dell walk, observing lots of raptors circling overhead, looking for small and delicious critters. Then Milt took up his post in the driveway, keeping an eye on the neighbors, while A made a coconut-turmeric loaf and chocolate chip cookies. It was kind of a lazier day than they often are, but there were library books to read and afternoon walks around the neighborhood to take.
