        Alta is for haters. Tell him to set up shop at Snowbird instead.

          Haters gonna hate. I hate powder days at Alta. I hate getting there early and parking right next to the snow cat building. I especially hate drinking a few beers in the parking lot after skiing right to the truck. The place sucks.

            The young kids now have totally different names for every run. But mainly they just take 2 runs and then hang on the gmd deck.

                I have a copy of the book. It's on my shelf in great condition. I bought it back in the 90s. It has many cool photos and descriptions of each pod. I will go get it and read it one more time before I sell it. Let me know.I also have a White Book of ski areas from back then. It shows all the old stuff from back when I was young and crazy about skiing - things were different back then, and better?

                  PM sent rubber duck.
                  I will read it and study it. Then it shall be passed on to my teenage college boy so he can teach the other young punks the real names of all the runs that have been renamed.

                  Ironically this winter we were talking and he admitted that the names at Alta are all over the place. Snowcat ops are the worst. Young kids are almost as bad. Why can’t they listen and reuse the original names?

                  AliasRice I had no idea there was a snowbird book. Cool.i know absolutely zero names there. Just barely know the terrain.

                    I also would peruse the White Book of skiing, as a little kid from Indiana.

                    Alta was captioned "A Place For Pro's".

                    I knew I was destined to be the best skier on the mountain. So I made my parents take me there in 1972. Just so happens, a little place called Snowbird had just opened three weeks prior.

                    My parents hated it.

                      PDF of the book doesn’t work and you need a hard copy? Complaining the younger guys don’t use the right trail names?

                      If you find yourself doing these things, ask yourself if yelling at the local youths to get off your lawn is right for you.
