Martin & I followed Maxwell and Alex up there and watched them drop in. Sunny, powdery, […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | November 29, 2024 0 Comments

Alta, UT, Report: The First Deep Blower Powder Day of the Season Report from November 27, 2024 I skied Alta until 4 pm on Tuesday. The big storm day that wasn’t a big storm day.

Alta, UT, Report: 1,800-Vertical-Feet of Terrific Early Season Skiing With Zero Lift Lines Report from November 25, 2024 Today was my first inbounds day at Alta this season after 10 fun uphill preseason days.

Alta, UT, Report: Fear & Loathing in “Main Chute” on 11,068′ Mt. Baldy Report from November 12, 2024 Yesterday I made my classic move of skiing Main Chute on 11,068′ Mt. Baldy in a blinding storm. You’ve gotta figure out how to zig when everyone zags in the very busy Wasatch Mountains.
