After losing our way at Snowbird yesterday, we brought Saurer in to make sure we found the best turns at Alta. And we did. (Of course, being that it was Alta, could there really be any bad turns?) Things started slowly with a Castle hike and a handful of turns in some stiff wind-blown crud. After that we spent a few minutes following Saurer into a steep section with a couple of signs that said "Cliff Area." That didn't work too well, and required some extra hiking. But, by the time we settled in for the afternoon, there was nothing that could go wrong. The weather was bluebird, the snow was creamy, the company was excellent. We lapped Greeley, the Gun Sight, and Alf's—several times each. It was not possible to make a bad turn. The conditions were outstanding. A great day on the crik.
