Alta - The Search for Powder

Written by David Flinn

While it is may require a lot of drinking, eating, and finally arguing around the campfire, I say that Alta is certainly one of the PowderHound's destinations for the ultimate in powder. Ahh-hhh Alta! Please don't take my word for it but the Little Cottonwood canyons of Utah (basically Alta, Snowbird and the remote non-lift-assisted crags there) offer the most champagne-like snow in the world. Many will argue that the Alps may be better, but after a few bottles of wine, even the most devout Alps-aphile will begrudingly admit they love Alta and Snowbird, as well.
