While the early winter was dry, we have had record snowfalls this year in Park City! Last week it snowed 5 feet in 5 days, and they closed local schools for the first time in 9 years! I thought I was lucky to escape the snow on a work trip to Minneapolis, but I think I would have preferred the snow to the -38 degree windchill! Joe has been working hard to keep the driveway clear, often plowing in the morning as well as the afternoon. These videos hardly give much perspective, you can get a feel for our winter wonderland. These were taken on Tuesday, before the two additional storms this week.
Two weeks ago we had a wonderful visit from Marcy, including a beautiful, sunny powder day at Alta. We couldn't have asked for better weather and snow conditions! We also got to see two more Sundance movies with Marcy -- one was horrible, and one very good. You never know what you are going to get!
Last week we celebrated my mom's 60th birthday with a wonderful dinner at a friend's house. She was happy to get lots of golf-related gifts to go along with her partial retirement. Happy Birthday, Mom!
We were lucky to have a nice visit with Dick and Jill Cronley, as they were here for a dental class/conference. We skied in the powder with them Sunday afternoon and then had them over for Deer Valley Turkey Chili at our house while watching the Superbowl. What a fantastic day!
On Saturday we'll be leaving behind all of the snow for the sun and surf of Costa Rica! We look forward to posting some pictures and videos without any snow when we return!

And I thought 8 inches of snow was pretty good! Of course, today hit 33 and much of it seems to be contracting.
What fun to have Dick and Jill visit! Have fun on your trip.
Sorry, I hit "publish" twice and then deleted it.
Now you need to cover those paths to create a tunnel to the office. I bet you'll be skiing in June!
Wow... I am envious of your snow fall and skiing yet again. Loved the pic of you guys with Dick and Jill. Have a fun WARM vacation.
Wow Look at that snow! We were suppose to get 4-7 inches here and only ended up with about 1 inch. Of course all the schools were closed. Crazy Ohioians! Have fun on your trip.
