Alta is a magnet for some of the best freeskiers in the world. Guys like Pep Fujas and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa have made Alta their home. With so many huge and gnarly ski resorts in North America, why are they in Alta? One look at this POV video from Cattabriga-Alosa, and it’s pretty clear – Alta is damn fun.
This video was shot on a grey day. There’s some new snow, but it’s not a powder day by any means. A day like this would be pretty average for most people, but not for these two. Sage and Pep see the mountain differently. Many of us have skied this same line under the Collins chair dozens of times, but never imagined there was so much to air off of, so much speed you can gain, and so many playful ways to interpret the terrain. Witness masters at work:
Pep Fujas posted the video to his Facebook page and described the run as follows: “Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and I found a pretty epic lap yesterday at Alta. It seemed like each time down, we found a new air. We spotted the tree air on what was going to be my last run but then of course I had to go back and hit it. Too much fun!”
Thanks for showing us how to properly ski Alta, guys! I’ll be over here dinking around in the trees at slow speed if you need me.
