Park City, Utah
I am having a pretty good time out here in Park City, Utah with my family.
Go ahead...
You know you want to say it.
I told you so.
Okay, well, yes, I am enjoying it more than I thought, mostly due to the fact that I do not feel like hell in a handbasket.
We were out for a few hours yesterday getting our "ski legs". My mom and I both rented snow blades, which I am enjoying quite a bit. I have never been on skis before, and I had been on a snowboard once, and ski blades once... So I went for the blades, and I am so glad that I did.
Yesterday we stuck to the bunnies (which really arent bunnies, but greens, only short) while my dad and brother went up and did a few longer runs.
Today my brother joined the snow blading fun, and amazingly enough, did not take to it as quickly as I did. I think it is bc with snowboarding, you use your body to turn, but with skiing, you do not at all, and I think with the blades you do, but only a little bit.
We all went to the peak today - 10,000 ft. It was a gorgeous view, peaceful, quiet... and the cold is not as bone chilling as it is at home. The cold here (even when its like 15 degrees) is more like a crisp autumn morning. It smacks you, but its refreshing and clear.
The cold got to me a bit today, and my toes took the brunt of it... the rest of me was fine. But some of you may know of my poor circulation (except around 10 pm, when I turn into a furnace). But really I have been enjoying myself and I loved doing the greens from the peak down.
My mom is definitely hurting... and strangely enough, shes dying in her thighs, while I my calves are SCREAMING. We are thinking about pedicures tomorrow, perhaps? Or maybe the next, who knows. I think Monday will be facials. :)
We have had a lot of laughs and good bonding time... we have not come close to killing each other, except maybe the first night when I slept with my mom and she snored like a freight train and i kicked her multiple times to get her to stop... :)
We just got back from hot tubbing it, and it is time for a shower. mmmmmmwarmth.
We have some good pictures too, so I will get those up when I get home.
Go ahead...
