Alta

I used to visit mom and dad each week, until my daughter needed the car all of the time for work and school. Now they drive to my house instead.
Today we went to our favorite place to eat. It's the In N' Out Burger, in Draper. Then we went for a ride to Alta.
This is the area dad goes to ski. The season is about over now, but we all wanted to see the extra deep snow that the mountains got this year.








This is the basin where he skis. He starts from really high up.


Buildings were nearly buried:



See how the snow is piled higher than the cars?:


This pile of snow is so high . I didn't even get the whole thing in the picture:



This is on the other side of the road. The snow isn't quite as high, but deep enough:


The pictures may look cold, but it was really very warm and nice out.
