Skiing in summer comes with its own unique obstacles, such as swarms of mosquitos, but with remnants of last winter's record snowpack still plentiful, more people are pushing their ski and snowboard seasons deep into summer.
“I think people were just psyched,” about the bounty of snow, said Tom Diegel, the vice president of the Wasatch Backcountry Alliance. “And it was a great and unusual opportunity to try to extend the season.”
Diegel hiked 5 miles for 900 feet of skiing — or about five minutes’ worth. When he got home he told his wife: “That was dumb but really fun, and that’s all I care about.” “I think there is something, too, about once you’re in July, you’re like, ‘Well, you know, it’s just a few months before the next comes. Maybe I should just try and bridge the gap,’” Leys said. “Kind of ‘The Endless Summer’ in reverse.”
Four friends from BYU, Alex Jenks, Adam Meadows, Ethan Madsen and Tanner Madsen, hiked about seven miles round trip to ski a patch of snow at Alta Ski Area on Saturday, July 29, 2023. New and experienced summer skiers and boarders have been taking advantage of remaining snow from last winter's record snowfall.
When they found the snow, it was in good shape, at least for skiing in July. It wasn’t too icy nor too wet. It was wide enough to turn on and, best off all, there wasn’t a single other track in sight.
