Alta April 2011 - Snowfall

 We arrived on Thursday in Salt Lake City to rain and low, gray clouds.  As we ascended Highway 210 into Little Cottonwood Canyon, the rain shifted to snow of increasing intensity.  The Peruvian is at 8500 feet and it was snowing heavily.  The snow was constant through Sunday with the exception of a few short moments of sunshine on Saturday.

Here is the snowfall chart from Alta.com for the period of our trip.  Photos and commentary to come soon.
