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 wasnโ€™t a big storm day. I was skeptical of the forecast and expected it to fizzle, but I wasnโ€™t sure, and the Alta magic should never be underestimated.

Collins and Wildcat are open with 1,800 vertical feet of good skiing. I cranked laps โ€“ mostly on the groomers โ€“ with an obnoxious smile. Off-piste was a bit risky with rocks and logs [โ€ฆ]

Miles Clark Alta Ski Area November

Report from November 13, 2024 I was too scared to go back into Main Chute at Alta, Utah, yesterday so I decided to go hit the backside near Gunsight hoping the wind would have filled it in well.

Report from November 12, 2024 Yesterday I made my classic move of skiing Main Chute on 11,068โ€ฒ Mt. Baldy in a blinding storm.
