"an exhilarating expedition" sure thing. check out the epic "80 ft cliff jumps" and some of the most "intense, dangerous, and deadly extreme skiing the united states has to offer"...and what's this "Ahlta" business?

At least it looks like he was having a good time.

For the record, if you want to not sound like a local when you're at Alta, say it like Ahhlta.

"we were blessed with 3 feet of freshies". They have really bad measurement systems, that was like a foot, and they did no 80 foot cliffs, no wonder no one believes them.

Alta - 2 syllables Al•ta, the first part is like the Al in Altitude or the name Allen. The second part is tuh with the a-sound a soft "uh" i guess that's the best descriptor. Long story short, if you're saying "All-ta" you're saying it all wrong.
