So I just lived my shortest summer ever, with snow falling on June 11th then again on September 1st. However the "Election Day Storm" officially ended my hiking season and kicked off the snowboarding season.
I had 2 more lakes to hike to on my list so Im pretty bummed I never got to get to them however I got to see a lot this summer:
I hiked to 12 lakes
Hiked 3 peakes (9,026 ft, 6,596 ft and 10,648 ft)
Hiked to 3 waterfalls
Totaled 24 days of hiking at least 1 hour
But now winter is here, we recieved 28 inches of snow in 24 hrs and 46 inches in 4 days in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Thanks to this storm and another coming in this weekend, Snowbird opened up 2 weeks earlier than planned!
Time to start clearing the car off
I just cleared my car off and its already covered
Mouth of the canyon
We drop these gates when doing avalanche control work
This is why I dont drive on snowy days
Arrived at work!
No joke, this much fell in less than 24 hrs
Gary dropping the gates!

Not fun digging these out
Theres a truck under there, I had to dig out 10 of these
