Just a FYI, but Alta ski resort is not open yet and their offices are only open monday thru thursday during the off season.  Probably explains why they didn't report the new snow till yesterday.  If you are itching to go skiing so bad, then I think you would have drove your ass up there to check it out.  I went up there, went for a hike and run around in the snow and then laughed at everyone who was so core and giving me the eye cause they were out skiing all that deep pow.
