Episode 10: Deep Days in the Wasatch and Save Our Great Salt Lake
What a week of powder skiing! A bit of wind early in the week, but things really turned on with right side up snow and light density powder coming in the last few days with light winds. This weekend should be all time conditions with bottomless turns under clear and cold sunny skies. Utah is still above average for the year with both snow and water. We’re doing much better than other parts of the country, so enjoy the snow and be grateful for what we have!
In Part 2 of today’s show, I sit down and talk with Alex Veilleux from Save Our Great Salt Lake. Alex is part of a movement hoping to prevent the aridification of our beautiful and beloved Great Salt Lake. We’ll chat about how the drying up of the lake will impact skiers and riders through dust and the loss of lake effect snow. The episode wraps up with some advice and ideas for ways to get involved.
Thanks for the support this past week! As always, I love hearing what people think about the show.
