Well, I'm posting this message from Salt Lake City. I am interviewing for a postdoctoral position at the University of Utah. I got in on Saturday night (4/24) and went to Snowbird on Sunday. They had reported 2-3 inches of new snow. The weather Sunday was very interesting, it was sunny, blue skies and in the fifties in the morning and by 1 PM clouds and fog had rolled in and then it started snowing (wet snow). It was white conditions at the top for the rest of the day. I skied all over the mountain and had a great time. I was on my tele gear so I had to take a lot of breaks to catch my breath. At the top I could really feel the altitude. They have some great terrain there. I found some very steep tree areas (Gad chutes?) by following the ridge line from the tram and the dropping off to skiers left that led to the mid lodge. I was in calf to thigh deep snow in there. Overall It was a great day. Gotta love taking advantage of free travel. My travel expenses are being paid for by my prospective boss. Two weeks ago I skied in the Cascades (White Pass) and yesterday I skied in Utah.
