Powder Mountain

We had a GREAT weekend up at Powder Mountain (19 miles NE of Ogden, UT) skiing with my aunt and uncle. They own a timeshare and spend one week in early March there every year. This is only our second trip with them, but we enjoy it so much that we hope to do it every year!!

While trying to get my "ski legs" back I had a mental breakdown on the side of the mountain and felt that I was totally stuck. I had to convince my brain that I could do this! My aunt Cathy was standing by offering me support along the way.

SUCCESS getting down the mountain! My uncle George is on the right and my aunt Cathy is on the left. They were GREAT teachers and nice to have around!

As you can probably tell from the pictures, on the first day we went skiing it was kind of a yucky day! It snowed off and on and over the course of the day it got really hard to see anything. The second day was absolutely gorgeous!!!

Dave being silly! He really can ski faster than that!


Having fun on the ski lift! I finally conquered that process this year! Dave has been a pro from the beginning.

On the drive home we noticed this guy hangin' out by a stream that ran along side of the road. For those who know me really well, know that I was in heaven! I absolutely LOVE moose! This is the first moose I've seen in Utah. I've only been privileged to see them before in Idaho and Alaska.

We had a wonderful weekend and feel like we are a little bit better skiers. Every year we will feel more and more confident in our skills I'm sure. Thanks George & Cathy for inviting us! We had a blast!
