Alta's website is reporting 13 inches from the storm on Wednesday-Thursday with a 25 inch base. I headed up to check it out. There were a lot of people out for a Friday afternoon. It was 60 degrees at the base. I talked to a few people and said it was fantastic up high. "Not bad for October" laughed someone else. There's about a foot of snow at the base. I cross-country skied briefly with my daughter, then build a snow woman. (There was some dead grass we used for long hair). There's enough snow to get out and play. Ski, Snowboard, sled... or whatever.

Alta ski resort again this year is offering the ski free after 3PM program. You get to ski free on the sunnyside lift in albion basin from 3PM to 4:30PM any time and day of the week. This is a great deal for anyone looking to get back into skiing, learn how to ski or teach the little ones how to ski. New this years is a $5 fee for the card you must scan to get on the lift. (Alta's going hi-tech this year)
