Snowbird has a ton of snow!

For an October ski, I was surprised at how much snow Snowbird is holding. Having said that, it seems every time I've been to Snowbird in October, I'm always surprised at how much snow I find there. Today it was a little over six inches at 8,600 feet (next to Blackjack Village) and close to two feet at 10,000 feet. Here are some pictures (click to enlarge):

It's early, just not bright and early... In the center is
the Cliff Lodge and in the distance Salt Lake City.

View of Mount Superior except for the summit which
is hidden by the clouds that the sun is
unsuccessfully trying to burn off.

This is at a little over 10,000 feet and
the snow depth is about two feet.

Suicide chute seems pretty much filled out and maybe ready for a run.

Winter in the Wasatach

With close to two feet on the ground at Alta right now and this forecast that promises another foot or so, it's finally winter!

Tonight 6 to 10 inches possible and tomorrow another 2 to 4 inches possible so in all
8 to 14 inches to look forward to!

Here is to hoping for a season nothing like the last one...

Below are a couple of pictures I took on Saturday at a bit over 8,000 feet elevation (click to enlarge).
