Our Winter Skiing Adventures 2016

Since we have gotten the 5th Grade passport and the Yeti Pass to ski all of the Utah Resorts I wanted to give some posts on all the different resorts we have tried.  I am planning on giving each resort their own post.
So we have been to:

Solitude (Big Cottonwood Canyon)

Alta (Little Cottonwood Canyon)

Nordic Valley (Ogden Area)

Beaver Mountain (Logan Area)

Snowbasin (  )

Cherry Peak (Logan Area)

So we will go over:

  • Directions from the main freeway in the area
  • Parking
  • Pass Pricing
  • base area amenities
  • Where to start skiing
  • Areas we enjoyed
  • Where we got warm
  • Eating Accommodations
  • The Good Thing
  • Needs Improvement
  • Hurricane's impression
  • Avalanche's impression
  • Anything extra
  • Overall Feel
  • Links used in Instagram, Twitter, Facebook
So far we have had a really good time.

We do use the Ski Utah website on every trip to check for snow totals 
(Holy Cow this year has been incredible) and current weather.

Hope it is helpfully to your family as it was fun for ours.

Have an awesome Ski DAY.

Skyline above Bountiful and onto Farmington

Bountiful Peak

We had so much fun out in the new to us Xterra.  We drove down to Bountiful and headed up the mountain.  We figured out where everyone goes to ride on their ATV.  The road was bumpy and rutted my hubby loved it.  We did realize we would not want to be there in a wind storm or rain storm though. SLIPPERY.  We were able to see some snow banks still left every time jake ran into one he would pee,  Silly dog.  I was able to find 6 geocaches excellent there were two we didn't find but I think I was getting hungry.  Have a fun summer we know where we are going the next time there is an inversion.

april snow showers bring happy Heidi's



So the snow is falling and it is awesome. Went to work today after the road being closed and it was awesome. The snow just kept falling all day. I had some skiers that kept asking me when the snow was gonna stop...I told them May.

The gates were so low from all the snow that people where having problems with their tickets for most of the morning until they moved them into there pants. It was a great day and I loved it.

I am so glad that I get to ski this year. Last year I was just trying to survive this silly MS thing.

I am sorry for all of you who want the spring, it will be hot enough soon just deal baby. :>

(These pictures are from April 4th-the next day- there was at least 25 inches of what we call "Lake Effect Snow" light and fluffy, or HEAVEN)
