While some of you were breaking out your bikes and running shoes, some of us were out skiing pow. Alta’s open for one final 3-day weekend, and the conditions are fantastic. Get up here.

Over two feet of snow fell at Alta Ski Area this past week, so we decided to go hit up some of Alta’s famous side country. (It was very, very good.)
