Actually, it's a street in Salt Lake City and so is California.

I used to. But, about 10 years ago a friend discovered and turned me on to Powder Mountain. Somewhere after that the new management at ALTA decided to go from 15 "runs" to 115, started grooming former powder lines and marketing to families with kids. I found that I'd much rather ski Powder Mountain. The username AltaJoe has stuck though

PS, don't tell anyone. Its a secret.

I'm going to try to make it to Powder Mountain this winter. It is a bit hard to commit to the hour+ drive now that I have a home in Deer Valley.

There's also a Wyoming, Michigan with an estimated population of 75K (one of my grandmothers used to live there), which is a larger population than Cheyenne, the largest city in Wyoming-the-state. Grandma's been gone for a while now, by Wyoming to me still defaults to middle class Midwestern suburbia rather than the great Western state.
