Après Ski Moose

During one lesson at Deer Valley, we spotted a couple of moose relaxing in the shade of one of the houses on the mountain.

We hiked up the "PC Hill" at night to take in the view

I am passed my Level 1 Certification exam--guess that means I'm doing this again this coming winter

At the end of the season instructor party, one of the instructors (a classically trained clown), promised free drinks for the rest of the night to anyone who could blow up one of his special clown balloons.  Eugene surprised everyone and earned the right to drink for free.

Visitors

By the spring, a few rounds of friends made it up to Park City.  We had a great time in Park City exploring the town and the different resorts that are within 10 minutes of my apartment.  It also helped that we had fresh powder every time anyone visited!

Cappuccinos during lunch on the mountain?

Get excited, it's a powder day!

Down, but not out

Kyle and Allison made it out, too!

Kyle and I caught some of the dual moguls competition at Deer Valley

If you ever go to Deer Valley, do yourself a favor and go to the seafood buffet.  It's not cheap, but it is awesome!

Dessert at the Seafood Buffet: I felt like three desserts for myself was the perfect compliment to a perfect dinner

After a day of storm skiing, Kyle, Allison, and I enjoyed an incredible bluebird powder day

The sky really was that blue--just incredible!

Intimidating?




High West Distillery--definitely one of my favorite places in Park City


Everyone who visited agreed: Park City is a fun town with lots of great skiing; the fact that you can get from the slopes to the airport in less than 40 minutes is simply icing on the cake.  Who is visiting next year?
