Ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo, abazali bam bandizisa eAlta, eUtah, ukuze ikhefu losapho . Nokuba inkuthazo yabo ibindifundisa ukushushuluza okanye ukonwabela iintsuku ezimbalwa ngelixa abantwana babo besesikolweni esikolweni (imeko enokwenzeka), ndiyaqhubeka ukubabulela ngokwenza intshayelelo.
IAlta yidolophana encinci kwaye engacacanga xa kuthelekiswa nezo uqhele ukuziva ngazo. Ime encotsheni ye-Little Cottonwood canyon, phezulu nje kwendlela esuka kummelwane wayo u-Snowbird, kunye nekhaya, njengoko besitsho, kwikhephu elingcono eMhlabeni. Kwaye abalunganga. Qho ngonyaka, iAlta yenye yezona ndawo zithembekileyo kwikhephu, kwaye uninzi lwazo. Ukungathethi, ezinye zeendawo ezigcinwe kakuhle, kunye nesikolo esiphakamileyo se-ski esisekwe ngu-Alf Engen, esinye sezigebenga zokuqala kwilizwe le-ski. Buza nje abantu basekuhlaleni, abahlala behamba nge-canyon emva kweemvula ezinkulu.
IAlta yeyabakhweli besikhephe kuphela, kwaye yenye yeendawo zokuphumla ezintathu kuphela kweli lizwe ezinokuthi zenze ibango (ii-snowboarders zamkelwe ezantsi kwendlela e-Snowbird). Ifunyanwa nje ngaphezulu kweekhilomitha ezingama-30 (imizuzu engama-45 yokuqhuba) ukusuka kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseSalt Lake, iAlta ayisiyonto ilula nje yokufika kuyo, kodwa kulula ukuyithanda. Nazi iingcebiso ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ubhukishe uhambo lwakho. Ndiqinisekisa ukuba ayizukugqibela.
