SNOW bird!



Energy Vortex on top of Snowbird gave us all sunburns.
 727 inches.  Thats the current season total snowfall at Snowbird ski resort near Salt Lake City.    Most Colorado ski areas would be happy with 300.

Temperatures in the 60s and bright sun had some skiiers in T-shirts and shorts.   It was spring skiing at its best. 

Local Hoodlums
Snowbird and its neighbor, Alta, are a short drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon just east of the suburb of Sandy, Utah.   Leaving the ski area around 4:00, it was a mere twenty minute drive downhill to the closest REI store.    4,000 feet lower the temperature was 78 degrees!   Salt Lake City claims itself to be the only city where you can ski and golf in the same day.

W enjoys gravity.
