Report from January 3rd, 2019

I ran up 11,000′ Mt. Baldy at Alta Ski Area, UT from the Snowbird side today at about noon.

I clicked in and skied to top of “Main Chute” and into a party atmosphere.

People were happy.

People were laughing.

The sun was shining.

The wind wasn’t blowing.

The temps were comfortable.

I waited my turn then dropped into fun, chalky, chowdery snow.

People were ripping around, taking photos, smiling, hooting – all in this massive chute.

Main Chute is a little world unto its own.

Thanks, Alta patrol for opening this special world.

  1. Miles,

    My family and I were at Alta at the same time.
    Could not agree with you more; the conditions were spectacular!
    We stayed inbounds but still had a phenomenal time.
    Glad you did too!

    Cheers!
    Darius
