I thought I would list my skiing adventures on this blog for the 2010-2011 ski season. Last Wednesday October 27th we were blasted with snow. There was snow on the ground in the valley and a ton up at the resorts. I should have headed on up Wednesday but ended up going Thursday afternoon. I wanted to try out the Black Diamond Ethic skis I had picked up at the end of last season. They are short at 158cm and are equiped with telemark bindings. I had a set of skins that fit them nicely. I left the office at 3:09 and was hiking by 3:40pm. There was more snow than my first outing last December. I hiked to the top of the Sunnyside lift at Alta and skied back to the car through the resort. I had a couple of tough spots on the way up as the bindings don't have climbing wires. It was a short outing and I was on my way back down the canyon at 5:09pm.
