First Ski of the 2019/2020 Season

So, after yesterday's post "Winter begins in the Wasatch" we went from an encouraging sprinkle of snow to skiable in a couple of days! With temperatures in the high teens, and howling winds there sure was a bit of an Arctic feel on the outing and there is no question it felt like a full-on winter day. Although the skiing was not outstanding, it was still skiing and that snow was kind of fast. In any case, under the stipulation that any skiing is better than no skiing, this was an amazing tour!
Here are a few pictures (click to enlarge):

It is pretty white out there.

The winds they were howling... This picture of McConkey's is taken from the
porch of the ski patrol hut - the only windfree spot today!

Loki having a good day,

The sun came out just in time for us to get back to the parking lot.

Rock skis and a yet another shameless true north plug.
