Utah has seen record-breaking snow this year! One of the places seeing a significant amount of this record-breaking snow has been the town of Alta. Long ago Alta was known for more than rich powder. Hidden beneath the snow lies the history of a mining town. A Mining town that played a vital role in the development of little cottonwood canyon AND Utah Mining. From miners using Skis, to legal disputes from across the ocean, come along on this Journey of Alta from riches in silver to riches in powder!

Absolutely love your videos dude. Being a Utah Native and ex mormon, I have a complicated relationship with this state, but damn it, if it doesn't have a fascinating history. Hope to see more from you soon!!

You showed a clip of Thistle being buried by a landslide. Your great grandma DeGraw lived in Thistle as a child. I love what I learn from each video. Awesome work!

Thanks for making these videos. Salt Lake is where I call home and where I’m living out of state your videos really bring me back. Keep up the good work, love these things.

Just stumbled upon your videos and I love them! Growing up in Utah county, a lot of these things hit close to home. Have you done much digging into the mining and Utah county? Specifically up American fork canyon? I think you would find a lot of the stories interesting of old Forest City, the mining town up past where tibble fork is

Great videos. New subject matter. The Ghost town of Hyawatha. The government caves (MK tunnels) or sunnyside/Columbia and the coke kilns. 0:58 Would love to see any or all of those made to video. There are even the uranium mines down in that area....

I lived at the Snowpine for several years about 20 years ago now. Incredible place, that building had an amazing character and soul. May the people that built the giant commercial monstrosity over the top of it forever have bad ski days, hit rocks and fog their googles. Truly sad they ruined that place.

I learned to ski at Alta, I was in maybe 5th grade… and I remember it was like entering a enchanted fairy tail with the amount of snow. Let Alta have there skiers… Brighton is for Snowboarders anyways (but they still let skiers)
