My Gang Likes Deep Powder Snow

We've skied thousands of days in the ski area boundaries at Alta. Couldn't even begin to guess how many lift rides. We tried one day, on the lift, to figure it out.  

Add the backcountry excursions and we're at thousands more ski days, easy. We've been through the big, phat ski revolution in the winter sports industry. We've been absolutely POSITIVE for a long time that you want fat/powder skis if you're planning to ski powder in the winter, even if it's only once a year for one week. You owe it to yourself...


THIS IS POWDER

Yes, we know you like Powder and Skiing. And better yet Utah Skiing and Powder. I'll bet it's their 'Greatest Snow on Earth' isn't it? The Utah Skiing lens just linked to has site links to all Utah resorts and other goodies and tidbits.

Just as a big bike will change your outlook on mountain biking as you know it, your fat skis will help you see skiing as a new sport. Check in on the Alta Ski Forum at AltaCam...linked to below. There you'll find daily grind and tall tales of days in Utah, in the white room, under blue bird sky. We love Alta and Little Cottonwood Canyon!

This is the famous Alta Ski Area pic of the day featured direct from Alta.com! What a coincidence, the Fat Ski & Powder lens has all kinds of Alta info, links, etc. :)

Here's the Alta Skiing pic of the day, enjoy (click picture for larger version and caption):

Powder & Fat Skis 

Featured Fat Skis from Backcountry.com

You owe it to yourself to have the right tools in the POW. If you're skiing multiple days a season in places like Alta, get some burley skis. Altrec has a good fat skis' category and it gets better as winter closes in.

Friends of Powder Skiers 

Relevant links to this topic are provided below.

We're Altafarians so there is a pretty good chance that most of the links that will pop up here are Alta, Utah related. Let's start with, of course, Alta.com:

Alta Ski Area
This link is to the official site of Alta Ski Lift Co. Find all kinds of information and news about life and skiing in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
AltaCam & Alta Ski Forum
AltaCam has Little Cottonwood and Alta-related content, cam views, photos, snow reports, and discussion. Check in daily.
OGE Blog Post on Fat Skis & Squidoo
OGEBlog.com posted a feature on this lens. Check it out! You can compare prices on loads of fat skis on the OutdoorGearEngine.com site.
Utah Powder Skiing on Squidoo
This is a lens all about and dedicated to Utah Skiing. A certainly relevant addition to the Fat Ski Lens your on now. If you ski Alta only one time a year you need fat skis period.
GravityFed's Farmer Dave Profile
Farmer Dave Profile by William Deleo is a must read for a powder skier. Dave Van Dame fills him in on skiing longevity and Alta and Wasatch backcountry secrets.
Alta Peruvian Lodge
If you're coming to ski in Little Cottonwood Canyon consider stayin' at the APL. Complete ski package deals that include your bed, three meals and a ski pass. A local's favorite. The 'after ski party' at the Peruvian Bar is a MUST SEE on a powder day.
Avalanche Safety on Squidoo
I just build out a first version of my avalanche information lens here on Squidoo. I threw down a bunch of information and I'll be addin' and organizin' as I go.
