Snowbird 2006
Posted by Scott Hughes Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:50:00 GMT
Just got back from our 4th annual ski trip. We went to Snowbird mountain resort near Salt Lake City, Utah. We had a fantastic ski vacation. I’ll have lots of pictures and video available soon (once Erik stops holding them hostage). In the meantime, I wrote up a short novel describing nearly every major event of the trip. I wished I’d done this for every ski trip we’ve done, just for my own edification. I don’t expect anyone (not even my friends) to read the whole thing, so here are some highlights:
- Nicole and Erik got attacked by Mormon proselytizers at the Mormon Temple Square Visitor’s Center.
- Nicole and I skied a lot of fresh powder, going off-trail whenever possible.
- I convinced Erik and Nicole to join me on a very intimidating black diamond run, which was quite an accomplishment.
- Nicole got a great video of me crashing a jump I did off a little snow ramp.
- The Mineral Basin ski area (the backside of Snowbird) is one of the most beautiful ski areas I’ve seen. The bowls of snow seem to go on forever.
Here is my full Ski Log for Snowbird 2006. I’ll post a link to the pictures and videos as soon as I free them from Erik’s tyrannical hold.
Update: The complete Snowbird 2006 photoset is up on flickr. Working on converting the video to a reasonable distribution size.
Update: Loaded the video of me crasing a jump on Ourmedia.org, which is very slow. I uploaded it to Google Video as well, but it hasn’t been verified yet. When it’s uploaded there, I think I’ll try embedding the player in the full ski log. Until then, try watching it on my ourmedia page.
