Day 40: Leftovers.
Today was spent hunting for scraps of untracked that had been overlooked the past couple of days. Of course there wasn't much, but Albion Gully delivered untracked top-to-bottom, and there were other runs that included untracked sections. Most of my day was spent playing Pied Piper for an Eastern Bloc contingent of Serbians, Croatians and Russians, some of whom are friends and some are friends of those friends.
It was slightly below zero at opening but warmed rapidly to around 20ºF in the intense sun. As predicted the wind kicked up in the afternoon ahead of our Monday storm that's supposed to drop another 1-2 feet.
Strangely, the only photos I took today were from behind the wheel:
(With regards to the caption on that last photo, here's a photo of downtown Alta in the 1870s: http://www.altahistory.org/databaseshowitem.aspx?id=1083. That was taken where the ski area's Transfer Tow exists today.)
