It’s a Little Cottonwood Thing
By Brad | March 6, 2008
I’m Brad Asmus, the author of jThe Powder Hound’s Guide to Snowbird and The Powder Hound’s Guide to Skiing Alta.
I fell hard for Little Cottonwood Canyon the first time I saw it. I’ve lived there, working the lodges, and I had the good luck to fashion a career that includes frequent trips to Salt Lake City. Still, I’m no local. If I were, I might have grown tired of the place and lost the sense of fascination, wonder and adventure I get every time I enter the canyon.
The Powder Hound’s Guides to Alta and Snowbird are my testament to what I believe are the two most extraordinary ski areas in the Americas, if not the world. They’re love notes, of course, but they are also works of geography that capture place names that are ephemeral and of little interest to the world outside the community of powder hounds. If you’re part of that community, though, you’ll understand and even sympathize with the obsession that helped bring them into being.
