Becoming spoiled...

After the record-breaking snow season enjoyed by Utah, getting back on snow this coming November will feel thin and skimpy. We very quickly get addicted to “more than normal” and lose track of the hard reality of normality. As summer finally begins here in the Wasatch Mountains and as spring woefully failed to show up for the transition, we can only savor the snow-capped mountains that still surround us, thinking for us who love to ski or ride, “is that the new normal?”

The answer is quite likely to be “nope.” So expect plenty of rocks, twigs, uncovered logs, hard man-made snow and lots of bumpy rides come next early winter. Perhaps that with these sobering factors in mind your expectations might be significantly exceeded!
