Fresh tracks in the East Castle area of Alta Ski Area.
In the evening after skiing, I went over to Paul and Kim's for a few hours. It was great to see them.

East Coast Skiing Back East
I woke up at 5:30, drove to Brendan's for about 45 minutes, and then Brendan drove us to Cannon Mountain for about 2 hours. These time requirements are my new skiing reality. All the while, the outside temperature plummeted down to 5 degrees by the time we parked. The sky was very clear, despite the cold temperatures; however, it was so cold that all the moisture in the air crystalized, which created a hovering cloud over Cannon Mountain.

Last Snowbird Ski Day as a Local
I had planned a ski day for my last full day in Utah before I move to Boston. Although very little of the mountain is open (still), I looked forward to just taking a few runs, taking a few photos, and leaving Snowbird (and Utah) on my own terms.

East Coast Skiing
I guess it's fitting that I'm moving back to the east coast in less than a week and the conditions at Snowbird are decidedly east coast. By east coast, I mean the conditions were hardpacked with thin coverage.

Back to Skiing at Snowbird
After a one-day foray into skiing at Brighton last week, Snowbird opened and so I'm back to skiing at Snowbird, my ski area of choice.

First Official Ski Day of the Season
Somehow, the Big Cottonwood Canyons resorts (Brighton and Solitude) opened on November 7, 2009, while the Little Cottonwood resorts (Alta and Snowbird) remained closed. Without a season pass commitment on account of a possible move to back east, I was more than willing to ski at Brighton or Solitude to get the ski season started.
