The Park City ridgeline — Deer Valley, Park City, the Canyons. 317 days of GPS drawn to scale, darkest where the turns stacked up.
Six seasons on the books — two of them stubs at either end. Every tick is a day on snow; the tall ones were the deep ones, and the blue ones are the powder days — 22 mornings that opened on 6″+ of new snow overnight. Click any tick to replay that day.

The most common first GPS fix of the day: 9:00 a.m. sharp — first chair. The median is 10:36 a.m., because some mornings were for waffles. 126 of 390 days were rolling before ten.

317 of 390 days were one long ridgeline — Deer Valley, Park City, the Canyons: three lift tickets, one mountain. A storm made the Cottonwoods worth the drive. Every window below is drawn at the same scale.
