"It's an Alta day today..."

That's what Alf Engen used to say about days like today. It was a full-on storm day, with "free refills," which is what happens when it's snowing so hard that your tracks are filled in between runs. Bottomless perfect powder, no lift lines - it was a recipe for fun! Here are some of Alta's shots of today's skiing:

Yes, it really was this deep today!

Bluebird!

How blue has the sky been at Alta the last week? So blue, it's hard to answer that question. Plus, the cold cold temperatures that we had a week ago are a distant memory - it's been in the 30s and even up to 40 the last few days! People are starting to get spring fever! 

And the best part is that the snow is still holding up. High Greeley and the Noodle Run on Backside have been good, and of course we've all been getting our share of fun, fast groomers in. More snow is due at the end of the week, but to be honest, if it's not going to snow we'll take weather like this!

Happy 75th birthday Alta!

Tonight Alta Ski Lifts celebrated 75 years since the Collins lift first started running on January 15, 1939. On that day, a single ride cost 25 cents and an all day ticket was $1.25. Today, you can see several of the original single Collins chairs hanging at Alta - two next to the Goldminer's Daughter Lodge in the main parking lot, and two hanging next to the bottom of the new Collins chair.

The celebration tonight included a torchlight parade down Alf's High Rustler and fireworks. The number 75 was written out in torches at the top of High Rustler:
