Yesterday East Castle opened for the first time this season.  Unfortunately I couldn’t ski and missed it’s opening but today’s leftovers weren’t half bad.  There were plenty of fresh tracks still to be had and the snow quality was creamy and soft.

Bringing our skins made all the difference for our hip flexors, eliminating the 1,000 side steps you have to make otherwise.  There were very few people out hiking it so there should be plenty of good turns left for Valentine’s Day.  Grab your honey and get out for a romantic Alta hike!
