What a year!

Is Alta still open? Cause if it is, I might need to hit up one more day.

If it's not, I might need to hike it, and snowboard down.

That's impressive... how long has it been since we had this good / long of a snow pack up there?

At this rate I say Global Warming is good for Utah

I heard 50 feet, but that was a month or so ago, so there is probably a more accurate prediction somewhere now.
Here is a website for the water level at Powell

I'm stoked. I've been going down every year in July for four years now. This year looks to be the highest its been and the Castle Rock Cut should be open, expanding my camping opportunities!

I've actually never been to powell, other than taking the halls crossing ferry.

One of the most beautiful, serene places I've ever been. My first experience was on the ferry as well, but for the last four years I've gone down once a year. Its typically the highlight of my summer. Not much compares to taking a Honda Aquatrax Turbo out and doing 65mph on it.
