Ten miles in 1:30 on the Flying Dog up in Park City, UT. Back and forth a lot since only a little over 2 miles was runnable. South facing slops free of snow and dry but lots of snow and mud farther up.

Jeremy Ranch Road pretty much like June conditions. Completely open and dry.

I thought you guys had lots of snow this year?

We did have lots of snow until it stopped.

I bet its muddy now :-)

Jon we are having a "normal" year (which these days is exceptional) - upper elevations (above 7500') have lots of snow, especially in the Cottonwood Canyons (Alta's mid-mountain base is 100")... but the lower elevations outside of the snow vortex have melted out over the past 6 weeks. So its really an "everybody wins" scenario - we are in that magic period of time where all sports from running to skiing to climbing are all world-class for the next couple months.

Today will help a lot.
