Easter Skiing in Utah

Today was probably our best ski day this year. Great weather - nice and sunny and no wind. And the temps were over 20 degrees! (That's usually how cold it is up there.) Today was around 35.



There was hardly anyone at the mountain - I think most folks want to be home on Easter. Not us! This meant more of the mountain for us!



Here we all are on the lift up. This was our first run. Take a good look at Mallory's braces (green rubber bands this month for St. Pat's day) she get's them off April 2!



A little different perspective for you...our skis looking down at the fresh corduroy. Ahhh...freshly groomed slopes just waiting for our tracks.



This is our shadow. Oh sunny day!



Even the Easter Bunny was out on the mountain.





Mal just checked in with her boss. We are waiting to hear which hours she is teaching today. Maybe these guys are tired of me taking photos? Oh get over yourselves you ornery teenagers.



Ok, happy again. Mal can ski all morning with us. She works in the afternoon.



Another one, got to catch them smiling when I can!



At the top of the mountain at the saddle. Overlooking Heber Valley.



Jen was here (too).



And a closer view because we love it so much. Down in there is one of the venues for the winter 2002 Olympics where the cross-country skiing events took place.



We're having some crazy fun here. Or maybe not so much, but we look kind of goofy. Ok, maybe Mal looks like a rad shredder and I just look um...slanted and my ski is lifted?



Ok, here's a nice one for mom. Oh, maybe mom likes the crazy one?



Wyatt skiied his first black diamond runs today! I told him he might as well try - he's wearing a helmet and plus- you're good enough, kid! We call them blades instead of black diamonds. We learned that is the "cool" lingo today.



Check out that scenery. Every view is amazing. Off to the blade, Wyatt!



This view is from the westernmost chairlift on the mountain. The mountain centered in the photo is Mt. Timponogos. This is the backside of the mountain as we know it. The front side is mountain we see from our back yard at home!

Brighton ski resort closes April 20 this year. We hope to make it back out again before the season ends, but we're not sure if we can because we have so much going on this spring. We personally invite all of you to come visit next year and ski with us. It really is the best snow on earth and the mountain is amazing!
