Park City Mountain Resort 1/8

Was on my way to the office this morning, but somewhere in the 8 mile drive I gave up on that idea and ended up at Park City Mountain Resort instead. Strange how that happens. :)

Ran into my dad while I was in the lodge, so spent the morning skiing with him. Dad taught me to ski 30 years ago in upstate New York. The skiing in Utah is so much better that I came out here for college and my folks followed when they retired. It's nice to have everyone so close. Dad works as a safety patrol at PCMR. But today was a day off, so we got to get in a nice morning of skiing.

I usually just head over to McConkey's, but decided to try something different. We enjoyed a couple of nice runs off Thaynes -- Keystone was nicely groomed, Hoist was nice and soft, and Double Jack had some great powder at the top and some friendly bumps further down. Then we moved on to Motherlode and I got my first run through the new glades -- Motherlode Meadows. They really did a nice job this summer opening that up and the snow was great. Up King Con and down First Temptation for a run. Then down High Card before calling it a day -- looked like another storm was blowing in. They say we could see another 8 to 18 inches of snow overnight. If you can go tomorrow, enjoy it! I really *do* have to make it to the office. :(

'til later,
- Jeff
