| Cheryl and Eve met up on a sunny Wednesday afternoon to ski some of the north-facing hike-to terrain at Alta. These hikes are quite short - less than 100 feet of vertical - and very rewarding as the ski quality on these runs is high. We had several enjoyable runs on Catherine's area and Devil's Castle. The snow was cold and chalky and any moguls were friendly rather than fierce. The skiing was fun, but the highlight of the day was feeding the birds at the bird feeder off the Supreme lift. Cheryl, having only been there once before, managed to locate it in the trees through one of the lower gates off the East Castle side of Rock'n'Roll. The birds were flocking around the feeder and were quite happy to land on your hands if offered some seeds. There were also a few squirrels lurking in the trees nearby. We highly recommend this detour if you would like to see Mountain Chickadees up close. Just remember to pack some sunflower seeds! |
