Snowbird, March 5th

Woke up at 6, called the snow report: 15" in 12 hrs. The fever apparently hit all the locals too: we left SLC at 7:30am, and the 30 mile drive to the resort took 2.5 hours. We didn't get to the top of the mountain until 11am. We quickly got over our delayed skiing and even though we didn't get the satisfaction of an untracked 2500' line, we skied sweet powder til closing time, and even with the hoards of people on the mountain, there were still great lines to be had at 4pm. And we skied for $30/person. not bad. Gettin' at the BC tomorrow. Took the camera out once on the last run.

We thought about trying to get there for the storm but we were too far. We'll be at Brighton for the next storm cycle on Monday/Tuesday
