Watch: Utah Avalanche Center Forecaster Featured In Grounds For Good Series

Alpha Coffee is a cafe located at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. It's a staple spot for skiers and riders in the Wasatch. Whether you pop in to grab coffee before or after a ski, meet your partners at Alpha, or enjoy the cafe vibes while plotting your next big adventure, it has something to offer everyone.

Recently, Utah Avalanche Center forecaster Craig Gordon was featured in a video as part of Alpha Coffee's Grounds for Good series. The short video explores how Gordon came to discover powder skiing in Utah. Now a highly respected and well-known forecaster in the region, Gordon is an integral part of the Utah ski community.

In the winters, Gordon is part of the team that works tirelessly to keep us all safe. He is up before the sun most days in the winter (and fueled by coffee of course) to help keep our community safe. But he also just loves skiing Utah powder.

I really enjoyed watching this video and learning a bit more about Gordon and his philosophy. If you've spent any time in the Utah backcountry community, you know just how special it can be and it's people like Craig Gordon that help make that so.
