An Amazing Powder Week

After five powder days in a row, I'm finally taking the day off to give the knees a rest and get caught up on everything that didn't get done while I was out showing out-of-town guests the lay of the land. Of course they appreciated the fact that the sun came out part of the time, allowing them to enjoy the scenery. The picture above was taken off of Hidden Lake Lift at Powder Mountain, last Tuesday--a perfect time to head to the trees!

The picture on the right was taken from the Strawberry Gondola, at Snowbasin, after we'd already had a couple of runs....you can see that there was no crowd from the one lonely line below the gondola.

They have a saying in Hawaii....."Lucky you live Hawaii". Well, I think the local version has to be "Lucky you 'board/ski Utah", where we enjoy Utah's trademarked "Greatest Snow on Earth"!

The season is just about half over, so don't waste a minute--call Utah Resort Reservations at (888)-748-UTAH to arrange your lodging for your Snowbasin/Powder Mountain vacation!

Down and out and missed out on the Pow!

The fact that I came down with the second cold in a month curtailed my snowboarding action for a few days.....you can see from the picture above, taken last Tuesday while down in Ogden, that we got a real dump. The pictures below were taken the day before, here in the Valley. Though
it may not be very clear in the photo, the picture on the right is that of a deer, taking refuge on someone's front porch in Green Hills.

Sorry there are no pix of the great day I had up at Powder Mountain yesterday...the whole top half of the mountain was in a cloud, but the 5" of fresh snow was heavenly and, having been there enough times, I can read that mountain in Braille.
