Photo of me following three of my six grand kids on a perfect day at Heavenly Ski Resort.

My youngest is 4 and he just started ski lessons. Next year I will ski with him and meet my goal of skiing with all of my grandchildren. Season pass for 2024-2025 already purchased.
Lived in SLC for just over 4 years and never went skiing. Sliding down a snowy hill/mountain on two pieces of waxed wood with no brakes just didn't seem like a wise thing to do.

During the mid-late 80's, I had many business trips to SLC and Tooele. I don't ski either, but one of the Senior Executives arranged a trip up to the Snowbird Resort. I'm not fond of heights, so the ride up wasn't that pleasant for me, but the resort and its lounge was simply spectacular. Thankfully, the drive back down was in darkness!!

The strip color always used to be a shade of coral (not O.K. Corral).

And then those never-ending discussions:
  • *PANG*
  • "You're dead !"
  • "No I'm not !"
  • "Yes you are !"
  • "Not true !"
  • *PANG* *PANG* *PANG*
  • "Now you definitely are..."
