1st Family Ski Day of the Season

I'm not sure what Utah's issue is this year, but for a place known for its "greatest now on earth," the lack of snow has been so disappointing. As a result, our first family ski day of the season didn't take place until halfway through January!

The school district where we live gave the kids a Monday Day Off, so we pack a lunch, loaded up the ski gear and headed down to Brighton Ski Report. Chris hadn't skied there for nearly 10 years and we knew that because the Salt Lake area kids would be in school, the resort wouldn't be so crowded.

And we were right. It was virtually empty.


And this photo was taken in the middle of the day! No lines, no crowds, no collisions with other skiers, etc.


And I forgot to mention that the snow was perfect! 15" of new snow had fallen in the last 48 hours. We could have done without the overcast ski, but we can't always have it our way, now can we?
