My alpine holiday - actually a camp and school reunion - continues to
go well. At the end of every day of lift skiing at Alta, I try to do a
bit of vertical. The picture was taken at the base of Devil's Castle,
and I am about to rip the hides having toured up 1100' in 75 minutes
on my skins. Clearly the Wasatch are a ski mountaineering paradise. (Click on the image to enlarge the photograph.)
