morning of 11/30/06-at cardiff pass. in the distance is the alta parking lot

The Wasatch front was blanketed with 3 days of a cold storm. Totals in the 10,000' range was 20-40 inches of incredible snow. it came in at the perfect density for the conditions. not slabby, not too light, just perfect. amazingly the 2 to 4 feet are sitting on variable snow conditions raging from bullet ice to sugary facets, but the snow has bonded well and is sitting pretty. One natural avalanche released on the N side, but the south side of cardiff (above) was stable and ready to ride. I finally got my powder run that i've been yearning for.



EZ, my skiing buddy on this am trip, is stoked






Such good snow. it was perfect. we started hiking at 8am and we were done by 10.
