Report from December 12, 2025

I’d forgotten how much I love Alta.

It was great to reunite yesterday.

I started off the day by doing the steep, long sidestep through the Ballroom over to the Bad News Cliffs, where I’d broken my face in 2011.

The sidestep was kinda brutal and well worth it for the little thrill of skiing a couple of steep turns into rocks and doing a little straightline out.

From there a lapped the Collins side and Sugarloaf side of the Collins chair.  

The Collins side was steep and icy.

The Sugarloaf side was flatter, rolling, and more groovy.

The skate back next to the rope tow was easy as the snow was icy and fast.

I got in a couple laps with lifties Harrison and Riley and reveled in their life of living up at the mountain.

After 7 laps and about 15,000 vertical feet, I felt satisfied and headed home.

Thanks, Utah!
