Chad,
I might have been on the mountain the same day you were. Me:
Sun 3/20: Alta (> 18" overnight)
Mon 3/21: Alta (> 12" overnight)
Wed 3/23: Solitude (> 18" overnight)
Thur 3/24: The Canyons
Fri 3/25: Solitude (? overnight)
Sat 3/26: Brighton
An unbelievable week.
Wednesday at Solitude was beyond epic. In addition to getting knee-deep+ on every lap until closing (on 93mm skis!), I couldn't believe how many times I was the first person down a trail: the bowl under the Powerhorn lift, some gulleys around Middle Slope, several chutes in Headwall Forest, a meadow in Buckeye Junior and several chutes in Black Forest. Fresh tracks are amazing enough, but when you are the very first person down a slope, it's pretty wild!

That never would never have happened at Alta.
Anything less than a steep black was almost unskiable that day. Breaking traverses in Headwall sucked...
