Capital Hill Touring

The 7 Minute Drive . . . . . .

Living in Salt Lake City, you are easily programmed to believe that the only skiable destinations involve the drive up Little or Big Cottonwood Canyons. I beg to differ, so Beth and I drove a short 7 minutes to the end of Terrace Hill drive. Within about 15 minutes of leaving the house we were skinning up. This is why I love living here. We skinned up the Shoreline trail, decided to leave the Bobsled trail for the mountain bikers and continued up the ridge leading towards Black Mountain.

Applying skins with the Great Salt Lake in the distance!


Yippie! Beth turning down into the City Creek drainage.

  1. I see some lines in the background of that last photo that I definitely want to hit. Parts of it look kind of like I image skiing in Japan to be.
