After driving through the night in crazy snow storms, we finally made it to Salt Lake City. We filled up on gas and continued up Little Cottonwood Canyon before the road closed for avalanche control. We made it to the base of Alta at about 4am and crashed in the car.
Today was epic. Snow was knee to thigh deep everywhere and over-the-head blower. We saw a good amount of blue skies and sunshine. I had never skied Alta before. It was a great mountain and a cool place to visit, but I don't think I would want to live in Salt Lake City. I'm happy in Jackson.

We skiied all day and then had an incredible sushi dinner at Naked Fish in Salt Lake City before making the drive back to Jackson.
Approximate time breakdown of our trip:
12 hours driving
3 hours sleeping in a cold car
1 hour stuck in car during interlodge
1 hours gearing up/down
7 hours skiing
2 hours breakfast/dinner
= 27 hours total
* Julie took most of the photos with the exception of a couple from myself and Jacki.
