Best Snow on Earth

We decided to go skiing earlier this year to avoid the Spring Break crowds and to enjoy what Utahns calls the 'best snow on earth'.  Although it is a little colder, skiing in January is definitely much more enjoyable than skiing in March.  We'll be hitting the slopes in January now on!

The highlight of the trip for J was to see her old roommates.  Karli, J, and Mika were randomly placed together as roommates their freshmen year at BYU (along with three other girls) at 1712 Carroll Hall.  They have been J's dearest friends throughout the years, and she's even been both of their bridesmaids.  So, it was such a treat to see them both and have D finally meet the girls she always talks about.  D was a great sport to join the girls for a night of reminiscing and catching up.  Until next ski season...

Oh, and we got some skiing in too...

Dad decided to 'seek revenge on the mountain' by skiing down Conviction, where he fell and hurt his shoulder a few years ago.

Seems the this is the only way to rest your feet with skis on

We decided to take a short cut through the trees, but didn't realize smaller people might have hard time getting through the soft snow.  No worries, Chief and Uncle D were able to get Rawson out of the powder!
