A. Where does the sky end and the snow begin? So much air in that snow. Alta is the king of snow quality. Does Alta have the Greatest Snow on Earth? UofU "Professor Powder" thinks so.

B. These dots hide 40 years of Alta's season totals. Starting with the 1980-'81 season the left and ending with the 2019-'20 season on the right. Each large white dot represents 50 inches of snow. Squint your eyes, and the hidden bar chart becomes more obvious. Luckily this was painted in 2021, because a stack of dots depicting Alta's giant 903 inch season in 2023 would not have even fit on this poster!

C. The V shape of the skyline symbolizes the deep V of Little Cottonwood Canyon which funnels snow storms to this blessed little micro-climate.

D. Alf Engen, the ski jumping champion, who scouted out Alta and then taught there for forty years, is hidden in the 1982-'83 season column of snowflakes.

E. One of the most famous ski photos of all time was taken in Alta, Utah. The star of that photo, a 16 year old Candide Thovex, is also hidden, but you'll need a full size poster to find him.

F. Letters out of bamboo ski poles which were commonly used at the time of Alta's early 1938 start. The letter's simple red lines are also intended to echo the old red lift chairs preserved on the Alta welcome sign.
