"The Bird"

So... a couple weeks ago Marty and I had a weekend trip planned with our friends to go ski at Snowbird in Utah. I unfortunately was on my death bed with influenza for 5 days. Needless to say we didn't get to go that weekend. However, it worked out our friends could go over Valentine's weekend. We packed our bags and skis and headed to Mormon country. Our friend Liz grew up in UT, and her boyfriend Jarrid worked for ski patrol at Snowbird for a few years. We got the ultimate tour of the mountain, and hit all the great spots to ski. For those of you that don't know about the snow in UT, well let me tell you it is unbelievable. The mountain gets over 500 inches of snow a season. This past week they received 6 feet of snow before we got there and then when we skied on Saturday and Sunday we were skiing in a fresh foot of snow. It was awesome skiing and good times. We can't wait to get back there!


Here we are...Our romantical Valentine's Day at "The Bird"! There is nobody else I would rather ski with than the love of my life.


Waiting in line for the tram to take us up to ski the "blower" snow. The tram carried 125 people up the mountain at one time. You cannot be super claustrophobic and ride in the tram.

This is Jarrid getting back in touch with the big avalanche gun. Yes, he used to shoot this off when he was on ski patrol!
Oh and the pic is certainly not out of focus, it is just snowing that hard!


Liz's glory shot as Marty called it.
