Park City, Utah...Skiing Day 1

Getting Ready to Brave the Cold
Taking a Break for a Picture
The Evening Blizzard from our balcony

Kirk surprised me with a trip to Park City, UT for our anniversary. Three years ago we got engaged in Park City, and since I've been talking about wanting to go skiing again, he thought it would be a good idea to come back here. We arrived yesterday around 1:30 and just hung around the square in the Canyons since our room wasn't ready. It was FREEZING outside when we got here(a big 19 degrees) and flurrying. Today we got up, went to breakfast, bought our lift tickets and went to pick up our ski rentals. Then we took the gondola up the mountain to start our day of skiing. It was even colder up there! The high was about 2 degrees and again, snowing! The wind was also killing us, making it feel even colder. After getting my bearings on one beginner run, I finally felt comfortable skiing. It's been 3 years since I skied and that was when I learned how to do it. After another couple runs, I decided to brave a blue slope, and I have to admit, I did pretty well on it...well except for the very beginning where I kept falling down and losing my skis. But once I got past that part, I didn't fall again. I was pretty proud of myself, so tomorrow I'm going to tackle it again and maybe this time I won't fall at all. There's a HUGE blizzard going on outside right now. Tomorrow is our anniversary, so we're in for more skiing and then dinner in town at Zoom.
