Skiing High Rustler at Alta, UT on January 26, 2023

Report from January 26, 2023

Today was an interesting one.

I drove to SLC, dropped my car off at the shop, took an Uber to the Park & Ride then rode the bus up to Alta.

The bus to Alta is pretty dreamy.

I gotta buncha work done on the ride up and ride down and it stops very little.

When I got to Atla the parking lot was just about full but there were no lift lines.

High Rustler is a world-class run and it starred me down from the parking lot.

I did 5 laps on Hi Boy and jumped back on the bus.

The snow was soft and firm and fast and catchy in spots.

I’ve never seen this place so filled in.

447″ of snowfall has already fallen at Alta this season.

The bus back was great.

Uber to the mechanic.

Car was worse than we feared…

Looks like I’ll be renting a car to get to Jackson for the big storm tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it all goes smooth.

Thanks, Alta!
