Trevor was without a doubt the cutest skier on the mountain on Monday.
Karl worked with Trevor on his french fries and pizza techniques for a little bit. He's only three though, so he didn't last too long.
The weather was very warm, which was a mixed blessing. It was nice to be outside, but the snow melted and froze, so in some places it was a little icy. Karl and I visited many of our old haunts, but didn't try to tackle the Millicent Chutes which were popular with us in our younger days.On Tuesday, Karl and I drove two and a half hours south to Beaver to meet up with Brandon and Jake who drove up from St. George. We decided to try out the new Eagle Point ski area, which is the old Elk Meadows. Elk Meadows went bankrupt in 2002 and despite numerous efforts to revive it, only this year did it finally get back up and running. It was probably even icier than Brighton had been the day before, but we found some good trails anyway. This is Jake on a snowboard.
Brandon and Jake on the Monarch chair lift. We skied this lift for most of the afternoon.
Brandon and Jake getting their Shawn White impression on. This photo was right above the freestyle terrain park. We all tried the half pipe, but it wasn't pretty.
On Wednesday, it was time to come home. I caught a flight to Memphis and then on to Pittsburgh. I had ordered flowers for Joanne because I was gone on Valentine's Day. In return, the girls made me a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and nuts.
After a couple of days getting back on track with my writing (I'm currently working on two books and two other chapters), we had our annual Blue and Gold Banquet and scout cake auction fund raiser on Saturday night. Since I had missed last Sunday, today was a little longer than most as I tried to catch up on a number of ward issues and responsibilities.
