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.

Heather;

Thanks for sharing your pictures! I loved looking at your pictures of Australia. What amazing scenery and it was fun to see all the different wildlife. I too enjoyed the photo of the warning sign about the Kangaroos. I agree with you that it looks like the Kangaroo is weight lifting the car. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Melbourne. Christine's father had such a fondness for that place and always wanted to go back and visit. Your pictures just made me want to go to Australia even more.

Your daughter is beautiful.

I enjoyed the pictures of Myrtle Beach. It has always been a place that I have longed to see. How lucky you are that you get to travel so much and see so many wonderful things!
