Why I love Utah in the Winter

Carrie gave me some inspiration on a subject to write about. I love the snow, when its fresh and beautiful. I love how it clings to tree branches, sits on the roof tops, and makes good projectiles. I really love it to ski though. This year I was fortunate enough to befriend an employee of the Canyons Sky Resort. Do to this friendship a season pass made its way to my ski gear pile. Last year I got skis, boots and poles, so I get to ski this year for gas money only. And I do plan on taking advantage of that.

I have been up only twice with the camera. It makes me nervous to ski with it on the back. So the first time I barely took it out. The day was cloudy, so not so good of pictures. Yesterday though it was awesome! Cold, but the sun was out. Fresh snow everywhere. All I can say is, don't hate the playa' hate the game.

At the Canyons there is like a town up there. So you ski under bridges that cars drive on. I think its cool. Plus all the brown stuff you see is wood sticks. I will get a better shot of it next time.


This was a nerve racking self portrait on the lift. Turned out nice I think, but man all I was thinking, don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it!


And a scenery shot I converted.
