Jake went to Alta Ski Area in Utah with his buddy Jamie. They left here at midnight on Tuesday night (2 weeks ago) and arrived at Alta at 7am. They had 30 inches of fresh snow to ski!!! Then Little Cottonwood Pass closed so they couldn't get down into town to stay with one of Jamie's friends. They had to get a room at Alta instead. When they woke up in the morning Thursday, they were interlodged! They lock all the doors of the hotel with big chains and bolts because they are bombing for avalanches outside and you can't go outside until they are done. Anyway, the Pass was still not open when they went back to ski that morning so there was only about 40 other people skiing with them that day. Jake said they had another 12 inches that morning and it was like having the entire ski area to themselves. They had a good time!Saturday, January 19, 2008
Self portrait of Jake in 30" of snow!
