Thanksgiving Day Bust

I was asked today what our family was doing over Thanksgiving.  We had planned on skiing all three days but there's no snow.  I guess we'll have to watch the BYU/Utah football game.

Alta's website: "With the weather we have been having, Alta has decided not to open before Thursday, November 29th. We will continue with snowmaking(!) and on Monday afternoon, November 26th we will issue an another update. Pray for Snow!"

Amen brother!! Amen.

Global Warming

I'm ready to get out and lay down some new tracks in the backcountry.  Trouble is, there isn't enough snow right now and no big storms are on the horizon.  Perhaps those massive coal fired electric plants that everyone loves to build in Utah were not such a good idea after all.  Hummm.  Here's hoping that we get a string a good storms in the near future so that our traditional Thanksgiving ski-day is not a bust.
