I'm a 71 year old boarder and before we bought in Salt Lake City last spring we had spent a full three or four month winter in 7 different ski regions in 7 states. Utah was the first place that we repeated. Then we bought in Salt Lake City just down the hill a bit from Dr. Jim's office. The last place that we spent four months before Utah was Summit County, Colorado. That was a good snow year and I boarded lift-served at Breck, A-Basin, Vail, Copper, and Cooper for 115 days, plus some hike to stuff off area. <br /><br />Friday was the last day of my third consecutive season in the Wasatch. No mountain in Utah is my personal #1 or #2 -- 3 are in my personal top ten and 6 are in my personal top 20. In addition to the three full seasons, over the years there have been 3 other one week type trips to Wasatch plus one one-dayer on a carefully planned airport lay-over.<br /><br />I've also been on snow in the French Alps and in Argentina.<br /><br />Don't take any stuff from anybody about the quality of Utah snow and opportunities to ski or ride it!!Tommy T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-54632725704741869772014-05-03T19:38:24.448-06:002014-05-03T19:38:24.448-06:00Dr Jim, I was at Alta today, the snow was sticky a...Dr Jim, I was at Alta today, the snow was sticky and slow in the PM.

I was up there Frid...You're 100% on this one!!<br /><br />I was up there Friday and, except for the late morning warm-up, it could have been mid-March except with only about 25 people on the hill. (I don't know the real number but was really, really lonely up there.)<br /><br />Tommy T.noreply@blogger.com
