Big Ski Weekend

What a life! It's crazy to think that skiing may be getting in the way of things we need to get done, but we love it! It's 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night as I sit and post this blog and I feel like I'm ready for bed. Yesterday, we met some friends at The Canyons, skied for a couple of hours, watched the pond skimming competition and then watched The Wailers concert. This morning, we met some friends and went skiing at Alta. On the way down to Salt Lake to meet our friends, we encountered a major wind storm in Parley's Canyon which caused a whole bunch of debris to fly up and hit our windshield. Not fun. We weren't quite sure we were even going to go skiing because it started to rain, then turned to snow while we waited out the storm. Well, we knew we couldn't make a decision until we were actually up at Alta, so off we went. The drive up was slow going. As we got there, it was still pretty windy but it was snowing and that means one thing--powder. Anyways, it was another fun ski weekend!

Winter is Back!

It's not a typical reaction to winter, but we're just not ready to put our skis away quite yet. As excited as we are to get out on our bikes, I need to get in a few more days on the slopes. Plus, my sister is coming to town next week and I've bought her a "never ever ski lesson." (Uh, that means it will be her first time, ever, on skis!!) We are both so excited!

We didn't get out skiing this afternoon, but we did get out for an amazing snowshoe around some old mining buildings.

No Longer in My 20's

For my 30th birthday, Andy planned a get together at his aunt and uncle's advertising business. It was so much fun to have everyone together, sipping wine and eating munchies. Andy's mom even flew in from San Diego to be a part of the festivities! My 20's were great and I can only imagine my 30's being even better.
