Utah ski trip

[GeorgAz]

Just returned from Utah on Weds., and skiied 4 days.It was awesome to be back doing what I so love and being able to still perform as well, due to the back injury. It is easier,however, with the new shorter shaped skiis. My traditional 178 slaloms were more work to turn. Took a private lesson and it all came back...stayed on the blue/greens(green at Alta is like blue elsewhere.) It turned warm, however and snow was only good from about 9:30 a until 2p, and then got very soft. Alta lost almost 9" in 2 days. It was almost 45-50 degrees there in the afternoon. It may cause problems with water supply if the temps cause more snowmelt.
It was wonderful and so beautiful there!!!!!

Glad to see you managed to hit the slopes! Sounds like a fun trip.

I just spent a couple of days in Zion National Park. The place is like Sedona on steroids.... Southern Utah definitely has beauty to match arizona's

Never been skiing, I have been in Arizona for two years now and havent got the chance. I would love to backcountry ski but would have no idea on where to begin. So much Jealousy

I just got to go skiing today for the 1st time at Squaw Valley just outside Lake Tahoe, CA. Just awesome. The place is huge, free for military and there were no waits at the lifts. Granted I wasn't able to venture off on many of them as I have no speed control.

I think I set the land speed record on the bunny hill as well as the most air from a hill on it as well. I can turn great, just no slowing me down. Would love to do it again though. Will have to wait till next year. Lake Tahoe is awesome though.

It was about 60 degress skiing yesterday, had a t-shirt and light long sleeve base layer underneath that and I was HOT.
