Alta with Scott Urtel - steep chutes, deep powder and amazing
About this episode
Tucked into the end of a box canyon in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah; Alta is known for steep chutes and deep powder - an old-style ski town focused on the skiing and the people who ski there.
Scott Urtel has guided for Wasatch Powderbirds, and for Ski with Kim for a decade. He is currently the lead training officer for the Alta Ski Patrol, and skis this mountain pretty much every day of the season.
