Rebecca added a few feet to the 10,000' elevation in Park City. Our first day on the slopes, the conditions were nice--a few inches of new powder on top of a packed base. In the afternoon we got a heavy downpour creating some whiteout conditions. The kids ran us ragged and us them. We skied an additional day at Park City and then headed over to Deer Valley day 3. Deer Valley Resort is spectacular. Like a fine golf course, the mountain is intelligently designed and meticulously maintained. That, combined with some sunny weather made for a truly unforgettable day. We'll definitely be back but they don't allow snowboarders there so not an option for Rebecca :-( . Our last day we headed over to The Canyons resort. The mountain is mostly blue and black runs--so not for the uninitiated. It was a snowy day making visibility a little tough but the runs were narrow and curvy making for some fun skiing. The kids had a blast weaving through the woods, chasing one another down the hill and taking the jumps in the terrain park. This was my #2 resort after Deer Valley. The five day trip was wonderful but it went by too fast. We agreed to find a rental on Deer Valley next year. The photos. The video.
