Our cellphone and iPhone radar (one of my sons has inherited the "weather watcher gene) both showed heavy snow all day long just west of our position at PC today. Ditto to the north along the Wasatch range. Within just a few miles of leaving PC headed "home", it was apparent a good 6-9 more inches had accumulated during the day.

We had a great day at Park City Mountain Resort, making "first tracks" by arriving at 0830 for a 0900 lift opening time. We wisely quit at 2pm (parents) and 3pm ( early 20s sons) since we have many more days of skiing and snowboarding before us.

I-80 was mostly clear (a bit of slush between the wheel tracks) until we reached the Jeremy Ranch exit. Traffic was running 60-65 mph in the late afternoon when we transited.

The great part of the weather today is the heavy snow north of here. Tomorrow we take a "mini Road Trip" to Powder Mountain, some 2 hours north. I-80 east of PC and I-84 seem to have escaped most of last night's and today's snowfall, so when we depart at 0630 we should be clear and dry (and dry is an important aspect of Road Tripping out here, as spray on the windshield is enough of a constant companion I normally buy two gallons of fluid upon arrival--enough for just a week). The really best part is Powder Mountain is one of the rare resorts where the lodge, etc, is at the TOP of the mountain, at around 8,800'. They're reporting 12" in the last 24 hours and the road conditions are reported to be "red" for the access road from Eden, UT. I can't wait.

More later,
