Despite the bone-chilling temps (I was perfectly fine with never having been outside in -7 degrees), we have tried to enjoy it as much as possible!
Jared and I went to Brighton Ski Resort the day after finals ended last semester. It was the perfect day to be on the mountain. A constant light snow kept it nice and powdered for us the entire afternoon. It has taken me some time to adjust to snowboarding on "real" snow but let me tell you, it's way better than ice!
When we came back from our holiday break, we met up with the Horlachers who were in Utah for the holidays. We went sledding and it was seriously SO fun! The parks around here are designed with sledding in mind. It made it way better than always trying to dodge trees and rocks! It was so fun to see those kids and play with them! I miss seeing them more often and I can hardly believe how big they are getting!
Just a couple days later, Jared and I went to the Canyons Ski Resort. That place is more like a village than a resort. It was such a big resort with so many great runs down the mountain. It is exhausting to go out all day! I was used to only being out there for half days, but we don't like to waste which means our all-day passes get put to their fullest use! I had to take a break both times, and I accidentally fell asleep even! I was SO tired, but it was so fun! Both times, we ate out afterwards because we were positive that we were going to starve or fall over before we could even make ourselves the simplest of meals! We hope we can make it out a few more times this season!
Moral of the Story: I like playing in snow. I don't like living in snow.
