Dust devil twister at 11,000 feet at Snowbird

Scott and I hiked to the top of Hidden Peak after skiing.
As we were taking in the view (no, not the one in pink), this full-column twister formed right before our eyes. What a sight!
Local TV stations ran this story and photo as it is so rare.
(At least that's why they said they ran it--but I couldn't help but notice that many of them were just as interested in the girl).
