winter view
Our lives have been pretty quiet since our return from Australia, so there hasn't been a lot to "blog" about. We have been skiing once or twice a week every week through January & February - but there's only so many times that's of interest in a blog! Just thought I'd share this wonderful winter view that we have from our kitchen window, looking out across the snow-covered back yard and neighborhood to the picturesque Wasatch Mountains. How lucky we are! It always lifts my spirits when I look at the view. The snow hasn't been as heavy this year as last, but still enough to keep the ground permanently covered since December.

the canyons
This week, for a change of scenery, we headed over to The Canyons Resort at Park City for our skiing / snowboarding day. The weather was warm and sunny, although it had been a week since we'd had any fresh snow so the slopes were a bit hard packed and icy in places. The Canyons is the biggest ski resort in Utah with 163 trails and 17 lifts spread across 8 mountains!
Here's Mark on his board on our favorite run called "Snow Dancer" with great views across the valley; Heather heading down the trail through the white trunks of the aspen trees, and us enjoying lunch on the deck at the Lookout Restaurant.
