Alta Ski Report

 I rose early this morning and hiked up Sunset Peak from Brighton.  As I sat on the summit, stared westward over Alta, Snowbird, and the Alpine Ridge and wondered if there was any skiable snow remaining. 

Shortly thereafter I got a text from my son saying he skied the main chute, so apparently there is.  He described it as "awesome, but really scary."  I don't really know how to interpret that, but I guess it still goes.  

I haven't seen pictures, but imagine the white ribbon of death that remains won't survive long.  I haven't had the courage to look at the models, but I took at peak at the NWS forecast for the airport and the highs are:

Monday 96

Tuesday 100

Wednesday 101

Thursday 100

Friday 99

Saturday 99

Sunday 99

The forecast low for tonight is, however, 69˚F.  We'll see if that verifies, but it will be the first sub-70 reading of the month if it does.
