If you’re anything like me then at this point in the summer you’re probably really starting to notice the chemical imbalance in your brain probably due to the lack of pow. The wretched heat on top of it doesn’t help either.
But worry not – with enough effort, you can still find patches of snow with decent vertical to get your fix, you junky.
Last Friday, July 19th, I hiked up Alta Ski Area and made some turns down Devil’s castle. It’s starting to get patchy up there but turns are turns.
It’s still decent enough to ski but it won’t be for long. Pretty soon I’m going to have to start looking elsewhere for lines as the white stuff is disappearing fast. But until then, it’s still fair game.
So if you’re up in the mountains still trying to ride that winter high this summer, by all means, do. Be safe and have fun. Just make sure to pay no mind to the concerned looking individuals sharing the mountains this summer, who see you hiking through the forest with your skis, trying to figure out where on earth you could possibly be heading.
