Day Two: 6:00 a.m.- Parker, Mike, and I all headed up to Alta to get a few turns in. I knew it was going to be good when we were driving down the canyon the night previous at 10 mph in a white out. It was absolutely puking. The snow was coming down so hard that I decided to blow off studying for a test and to get up early and ride. Responsible? Probably not, but it all worked out.
As we pulled into the parking lot and looked up at the hill we realized we wouldn't even come close to being alone up there. It looked like the exodus. A mass of people trudging upward in the snow. I pulled on my boots and started my way up. It felt good to be hiking. The ride down felt even better.
Here are a couple screen shots and the video Parker put together:
