Snowbird/Brighton

So Sunday I was sitting in the cafeteria, saw one of my friends walked by, we started talking, and spontaneously I said lets go skiing. One hour later we were hiking up Brighton, and admiring the lack of snow. Skiing wasn't too great, a base of about 8 inches that had been driven over by a cat, but not groomed.

Today I headed up to Alta/Snowbird, deciding to skin up Snowbird because I realize if I don't get hired there (no they haven't gotten back to me) I will not ski there that many times this year. The lack of snow was sad, and i literally was skinning on grass/dirt for a bit. Realized with how little there was some more of the snow i was skinning on would be gone by the time I got down. Hiked up, same sort of stuff as Brighton on Sunday. Run over by a cat but not groomed, and refrozen. Turns weren't too bad, and I actually got a good workout. Apparently even with the lack of snow, Boyne resorts wants Brighton to open Thursday, so looks like I will be getting some shredding in Thursday!

Once more, Snowbird seriously needs to let me know about this Trail Crew Ski Patrol position...

Hope Halloween was great for everyone!
