Alta Ski Resort Family Adventure - Alta Utah
We tried a spell from Harry Potter to remove the snow from the car, but it just put the snow back in place. We flew to Salt Lake City, UT, to ski the famous Alta Mountain. Ryan's on the slopes for the first time and Jeffrey is coming off a group lesson from our last trip to Lake Tahoe. We knew that ski season was coming to an end so we wanted to get one try. We lucked out because a storm hit Alta with about 12-18 inches of snow while we were there. As CA residents we didn't know what to do with our car when we realized that it was under about a foot of fresh snow. We didn't think to film it, but we had help pushing the car out of our parking spot because it was just stuck under all the snow. Fresh powder is amazing and it was a great time to be skiing in freshly falling snow. Please let us know if you have been to Alta and if so, where did you stay. There are a few hotels along the edge of the mountain trails. What about some other ski areas in Utah - I know there are a bunch of famous ones. How about your fun snow adventures - have you ever climbed such a large hill as the one that Jeff and Ryan climbed in the video? We also feel bad that we forgot to make snow angels - the snow was such powder that it fluffed all over the place - a snowball or snowman was almost impossible to make but we should have created a snow angel! Next year a snow angel will be on the top of the snow vacation to do list!
Now that winter is ending we need to shift gears and head out to some summer family road trip hot spots. Please let us know where we should head to next for our fun family adventure.

Skiing the South Face of Mount Superior Alta, Utah
We skied the South Face of Mount Superior in March 2015. Skiing was spring like conditions with nice corn snow once we traversed off the icy summit ridge.
Skiing Snowbird over the year's I've always looked across Little Cottonwood Canyon at Superior in awe. It was nice to finally get a chance to ski off the peak. This was my first time on the top of Superior and my first time ski touring. Quite the maiden voyage.
Skinning up hill on icy snow took some getting used to.
Thank you to Tom Goth for outfitting us in the AT equipment and leading the charge. Tom is the 2014 US National ski mountaineering champion. He probably could have done two or three skimo runs in the time it took us to do one run, but it was nice of him to slow down and go uphill with us.
When we reach the boot pack near the summit I was glad that I'd been working on my rock climbing. Because of the low snow year, there was some slippery rock traversing and ascending.
Once I was able to get the skis on (with the help of Tom), I made a quick hop turn. I thought to myself, man did these carbon fiber La Sportiva skis, boot, and binding combo feel light compared to my 192cm Armada's. When I finally made a real turn on the corn snow of the South face I found my confidence and was able to rip the rest of the nearly 3000 vertical foot run back down to the road.
I'm looking forward to skiing this again.

ALTA SKI RESORT.
At the top of little cottonwood canyon in Utah is the small town of Alta, most famous for its world-class skiing. Each year it usually gets the award for most powder, which is the world famous Utah fluff powder! If you want to experience what it feels like to be weightless Alta is a place to explore on a monster dump day. The resort is a great place to learn how to ski, as well as test your technical abilities in the many chutes, steep runs, mulgol runs, and deep powder.
However, Alta is not just a place for winter activities. In the summer there are many fun hiking and biking trails to explore. In mid July Albion basin is one of the best places to see the high mountain wild flowers. The high altitude of the resort, which ranges from 9,000 ft to just above 11,000 ft above sea level means that in the hot months one can catch a little break from the heat by venturing to the mountain slopes of Alta.
SUMMER SKIING.
Summer skiing in Utah is not a huge deal. After all there are not true glaciers left in the state, and rarely do snowfields last the whole year. Like most resorts in Utah, Alta usually closes in mid April. Though that is rarely due to a lack of snow. Nevertheless many patches of snow stick around well into July or August. If one is willing to lug their boots and skis up the mountain one could get a good amount of carves in throughout the summer.
WE SEE HERE’S FIRST SKIING VIDEO.
This day's adventure was really to hike to Cecret lake. We made a loop out of the hike and on the descent, the chance to “ski” on some snow was just too much to pass up. Even though I didn’t have my trusted Rossignol Phantom skis, and was only wearing my chacos for foot protection I had to lay down some tracks. This video is replete with a 175 ft run up the mountain, two amazing skiing tricks (at 1:06 and 1:16 in the video)! Well, as amazing as I could make them with my frozen feet. It really got me excited for the upcoming ski season.
WE SEE HERE TRIVIA!
I have been skiing since age 5 and it is my most favorite sport! This “skiing video” is officially the first published skiing video I have ever made. I’m pretty sure it is Warren Miller or Teton Gravity worthy.
Catch us next time, and in the meantime make sure to SUBSCRIBE and SHARE!

Solitude to Alta Discrimination Not Tolerated
This was one of the funnest adventures yet, riding and hiking from Solitude to Alta. Alta, Utah is one of only 2 resort left in the United States that are skier only. No offense to Alta, people there were friendly enough, but damn man no freakin way. Alta and Deer Valley folks, they are the ones. I can hardly believe it anymore. I hiked for over an hour with my board, in some sketchy shit. I could have literally died to get there. I don't know, maybe it just means more to me than it does to the heartless corporation that owns Alta, or the little brainwashed kids who copy their discriminatory parents. Maybe it's time we stopped letting heartless corporations own our wildlife??

Rare Find in Alta, Utah
This beautiful home is nestled in one of the most spectacular spots in the country. It is located just off of the Bypass Road between Snowbird and Alta Resorts in the Town of Alta.

Imagine yourself sitting in your living room snuggling in by the fireplace as the winter snow falls as only it can in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Or waking to three feet of new champagne powder at the crack of dawn and having first tracks off of the Snowbird Tram. You will never get tired of sitting in your living room and gazing at the breathtaking scenery of Autumn in full color as you look out the vaulted windows at Mount Superior. This home has everything you and your family will need with great family living spaces, two kitchens, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two family rooms, each with a cozy fireplace and a loft, and decks with views forever. The home is situated on two rare lots and has easy year around access. If you have ever dreamed of having a mountain getaway at one of the most iconic ski resorts in the world, you will not want to miss this fabulous home.

Moose in Alta Ski resort, Wasatch mountains, Utah, July 2013
We met this moose on our way to Cecret Lake while we were hiking in Alta Ski resort in the Wasatch mountains, Utah, in July 2013. I had never thought that he would let me approach so close to him.
