ALTA

Utah-SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY--ALTA REVISITED-This is a story whose moral is, “You can go back”. The article begins with a boy’s memories of Alta, Utah, the small, world-class resort and renowned powder paradise where he learned to ski with his family as a child. Twenty years later, he reluctantly returns, hoping not to shatter his childhood memories. He finds that Alta has retained its cozy familiarity, sense of history, and unique atmosphere amidst the fast changing world around us. The story is climaxed by a run down Baldy Chutes, the 42-degree couloir that the author first conceived to ski thirty years earlier.
