Did something different today for Eclipse Day, 8 Apr 2024, went up to Solitude, UT for snowshoeing and partying.
This is what the eclipse looked like at peak totality in UT (~50%) at 12:30 pm MDT, not too different from a normal day?
Here's what it looked like with a filter.
Then we went snowshoeing with a happy crew, starting at Solitude Village. The snow is still gorgeous here and powdery, but it's going to cook later this week with rising temps.
Early in the 90 minute trek, entering the beautiful Redman Campground area. This is lookers left of the base of the Solitude ski trail layout. Still a 6+ foot deep snowpack in this area.
The white mountainside above in this photo is the far edge of the Great Western terrain at Brighton ski area.

Post trek thirst quencher, with Solitude's Sunrise chairlift rising in the center-background.
