I’m getting serious about getting my old Benz out of storage and back onto the open road. So I went to see how dirty she was today.
Pretty bad, but better than I was expecting… after 3 yrs, and only leaked a gallon of oil in that time.
Funny! I think that sticker has helped me out a couple time

Alta is reporting 25″ in 24 hours! 12″ more for tonight with lower temps. This winter just keeps serving up epic powder days. For a better look at this months outstanding skiing conditions click here.
I recently had the pleasure of a little desert excersion with Sandy and her folks. We started in Capital Reef, then to Escalante, and finished in Bryce. We were some hikin fools! averaging about 8 miles a day. Nice weather for hiking, temps were in the 50s.
This time of year the snow changes to shit quickly. But not in all areas. There are many northerly facing aspects that don’t get enough direct sunlight to shitify the snow. Julian Carr and I found a prime example of this yesterday in the Gargoyles. We both found really nice soft snow. Of course it wasn’t the waist deep that it was only days ago (I actually did find 1 waist deep turn), but a nice fast 10″-14″. Couple that with temps in the 40s and you’ve got one hell of a nice day! The upper elevations are your best bet again today.

This is some pretty epic powder skiing from at and around Alta.
Storm after storm. The body can’t keep up with the amount of schalping needed to ski all the pow around here. Little Cottonwood Canyon:

The total from column B is 98.5″, not bad for the last 10 days. Another 9″ overnight and its still snowing! What happened? I was chatting with friend last night who linked the AK volcanic activity with this crazy flow of storms… Could the disturbances have triggered such an epic flow? I have no idea. But whatever the cause, Snowbird & Alta are seeing the deepest snow depth of the season. Get here if you can, there’s no end in sight.
