Yurt trip #2

We headed up to the Mill Creek Yurt once again with our friends Rob & Rina, this time in short sleeves! You can see the large "roller balls" that came down the hill because of the heat! Very warm temps, sunshine, stable snow conditions = good times! Check it out.... Hiking in....

Our "vacation home" igloo near Little Water peak, great protection from the howling wind! Come visit!

42 inches

So, my parents came out to ski with us in SLC. They TOTALLY timed it right & we got some great snow while they were here. We had fun heading out to Snowbasin for the first time as well. WOW, talk about amazing 5-star lodges! We didn't see much sun, but had tons of fun!!! Their legs even held up for FIVE days straight! Check it out...

Pink Pine

We headed out for a quick afternoon tour up in Little Cottonwood Canyon. It was a great evening to be skiing around while the sun went down, the peaks just glow! Here's a few for you...








Crazy huge surface hoar glistening in the sunlight


Fun to finally get out again!
