Do you remember the first time you skied Alta and had that Alta Experience?

My first day at Alta was a super deep change your life kind of powder day. I recall run after run on Wildcat and the tracks from the run before were not to be found. I recall having lunch out at the end of the backside traverse when a small window in the storm let up and my buddy and I sat there on the rocks, taking in the amazing paradise that lay before us.

At the time, 13 years ago, I could have never imagined that my love affair with Alta would continue to this day.

In case you missed the documentary “The Alta Experience” which aired on KUED Channel 7, Salt Lake’s public TV station, it’s not too late. They are offering DVD’s for sale and I recommend getting your hands on one.

Here is a short clip that I found on the documentary’s interactive trail map where they have a number of short clips that you can watch.

If you’ve ever felt this way about Alta, comment below and tell us when your first Alta Experience occurred.
