Solitude Sunrise
Snow totals were in the 1.5 to 3 foot mark across the Wasatch. Little Cottonwood was closed so we headed up to Solitude until the canyon opened to traffic. We got four chairs in at Solitude when we got the message that Little was opening at 10:30. We finished out our run and headed to Snowbird.
This is not the first time I have hit two resorts in one day, and again I was not denied good snow. Snowbird was typical holiday cheer, with tram line equal to the festivities; too long. :-) Then, electrical problems on the tram shut it down and everyone headed for the chairs. Half-hour later the tram reopened along with now being able to get silver fox, and other gems. As well as walk on trams, boo-yah! It was no wonder why they delayed the opening of the Peruvian side, there were wide spread avalanches on all aspects. The chunder was everywhere you had to ride through it to get anywhere and it hurts to fall on, so I didn't. Baldy, Cirque, Andersons, Black Jack, Who Dunnit all slid out. Beacons on in bounds this season.
With only about half the mountain open today, Saturday is looking very promising.
Kristian Jelm makes some pow move.
