Rare snow at Canyons

Interesting ski day: Too much wind (50 mph) and none of the top Deer Valley lifts can operate. So I just take a few runs there and decide to drive to Canyons to see what's going. Similar scene there.

The wind forced their base chairlift to shut down and only the gondola seems opened. I ride in, but must take my gear with me to minimize swinging. I get to the town and can only see a swarm around the two chairlits open.
I ski down to an access-restricted “shortcut” lift, ski down Doc which is a true ice skating rink, making for some interesting skiing. So interesting in fact that arrived at the bottom, I repeat the two-lift shuttle and finding the routine a tad to complicated. I had a great time, but return home...
