Here at the Rustler, we are just winding down the first week
of the season – and what a week it’s been! From November 9-11, Alta benefited
from a classic lake-effect storm, accumulating 51” total and enabling the ski
lifts to start turning on November 16. Then, another storm hit us with nearly a
foot of snow the following weekend, creating truly great conditions for opening
week. From fresh powder on the Backside to smooth, creamy wind-buffed snow on Sunspot,
West Rustler and High Rustler, we were all enjoying ourselves!
Thanksgiving at the Rustler was great fun as usual. It was a
bluebird day on the mountain, and Tom Pollard carved up the turkey for the
traditional buffet. Not surprisingly, everyone went to bed having overeaten.
We are all very excited for a great season at Alta!
