Narrative:

Between oak to slc, was descending from altitude and given a crossing restr, 'cross 40 NM west of slc VOR at 10000 ft and 250 KIAS.' this restr was issued from ZLC. A handoff to approach was issued and upon initial contact with slc approach, a heading of 060 degrees and an altitude of 11000 ft MSL was issued. The discrepancy was acknowledged and no further altitude changes were made.
