A is for Alta (and Avalanches)

This was going to be the fiscally conservative ski trip paid by points, miles and rewards. Plans changed when we were trapped at the ski resort after an avalanche closed the road. 
Now we get to see how the other half skis, staying on mountain at the luxurious Alta Lodge (aka the most expensive 4 person, shared bathroom dorm ever).
In other news, the snow base has increased by 50% since we got here.
