Finding fun on scarce snow

In this 33rd winter season in Park City, I'd never experienced so little snow.

Today, Park City only has 18 percent of its terrain open. I understand that the winter 76-77 was nearly as bad, but this hasn't prevented me to get out 21 times so far.

It's amazing how on snow, fun seldom equate snow depth. I wouldn't quite say that the thinner the snow, the more fun there is, but scarcity makes us look further and enjoy it more.

It also hones our skills and help us discover more into what we thought could be less. A lesson that goes much beyond the rather narrow scope of skiing...
