Snowbird's magic

The weather was cool, the sky perfect and with 6 inches from the day before, I decided to get out on my alpine skis. While the 45 minute trip down and up the canyons to Snowbird always has a magical meaning, like a special rite of spring, I was shocked by the difference one year makes in terms of snow cover.

As I was telling someone on the chairlift; the last time I was in Snowbird was this past 4th of July and there was much more snow over 9,500 feet than this late April! This said, skiing was excellent with very few skiers and perfect temperatures. I had a great time and I might return before the result might close on May 13!
