A Nod To The Gods

I live at the base of this mountain, on the backside is Sundance ski resort. To date Sundance has had 247″ of snow, Alta ski resort has had 434″ of snow this season. There is a summit shack at the top peak, (pictured in the images below), elevation 11,752 Ft.

Most of the state is at 200% of normal snow pack year to date. I wouldn’t say this is a drought buster but it doesn’t get much better this early in the year. 

This is normal, some winters are wet, some are dry, it’s all cyclical. Stop with the climate hysteria!

This is the backside of Timp at the base of Sundance, you can see the large bowl at the top center, that is a glacier with a small glacier lake called Emerald Lake at the base.

Pictured below is the summit shack, I have been there twice, (much, much, younger days), there is a book that you sign when you’re there.

Here is a link to some excellent images and info.  https://backcountrypost.com/threads/from-summit-to-summit-a-timpanogos-loop.9602/

At the bottom of the glacier is Emerald Lake, if you look in the distance you can see Deer Creek reservoir, which is just a few miles from Heber City in the background. Beautiful country.
