Usually, at Alta, we have a local guide. But, today, Saurer was detained in Provo Canyon, working on the howitzer. So, the task fell to me. Unfortunately, I made some bad decisions. Like this one. When I saw that no one was skiing this shot, I thought we might enjoy having the run to ourselves. Benson, somewhat unhelpfully, pointed out that there might be a reason that none of the season pass holders were on the slope. For starters, we had to drop in through this little gate. It seemed a bit tight, but everyone made it in style. (As you can see). After that, I figured that nothing could go wrong. Um. No. The sun had warmed the slope yesterday and today it was what some might call "bullet-proof." I tried to put a good face on it: "Not too bad, huh?" But I noticed a certain unwillingness to follow my lead for the rest of the afternoon.
