I always will return to this Beautiful place with soul. I live now in Denver, but I ski in Utah! Love your picture's. Hey, you may want to do winter photos & sell them. I am sure many would buy. It is very funny. Most skiers come from back east to utah, there first time they are mountain struck. So big, so much snow, I want to bring back a memory of alta. They do have a art gallery at the goldminers, I would try that first. Your photos are great, why not make money & share this great images.
