First tram ride

We took Luke up in the Snowbird tram on Saturday, intending to hike along the peaks between Snowbird and Alta. He loved the tram ride--especially when it swayed going over the support towers. He wanted to stand by himself for part of the ride and kept squatting for balance, which was cute. But when we arrived at the top all he wanted to do was sit on the ground and play with rocks. Big surprise. And though it was chilly at 11,000 feet, he refused to keep his hat on. Another huge surprise.
It was a nice, crisp fall day up on the hill, without a speck of snow in sight. In fact, it's so brown up there that we almost lost Luke in his camo fleece! Seeing all that rock and dirt makes it hard to believe that it will all soon be covered waist-high in snow and ready for skiing. Alta typically likes to open around Thanksgiving, so we'd better get some storms rolling this way!
