It has been more than a week

Today was the third day of bright sunshine and the high pressure system that has swung over the Salt Lake Area. We had 2 feet Sunday into Monday. We are not forecast to see any snow in the next 10 days but things do change rapidly around here. I've been told that high pressure systems usually last no more than 2 weeks in the Canyon. That is usually replaced by 2 weeks of storms. Last year they had 130" of snowfall by Oct. 31. This year the Alta Lift Company has still not set a date. Today (Nov. 17) was supposed to be the opening day. They are now waiting for another decent storm before they open.

Besides the lack of snow the food is good and hiking has been good. Got some fresh powder turns on Tuesday. Hiked past Collins Mid-Mountain station.
