The last couple weeks have been rough for me. A couple weeks ago I was in Tucson. The same weekend it was dumping here in SLC. The day I got home I was starting to feel crappy and it got worse and worse. I keep thinking about Andre the Giant saying "he's been mostly dead all day" in the princess bride movie. I've been mostly dead. I didn't want to miss out on the novelty skiing going on in the benches so I went out. And felt pretty terrible. Like get-home-and-come-lay-on-the-bed-without-taking-off-the-ski-boots terrible.
There is a rad little hill at the mouth of Farmington Canyon that we've been skiing. About 500 vertical feet or so, and a 5 minute approach. It's been skiing excellent and has satiated me while my body recovers from being sick.

| Twilight skiing. |

| Ryan diligently was spooning turns to maximize the utility of the ski hill. |
 |
| Lowest elevation ski tour ever? 4500'. |
Kern River built this massive pipeline that goes through Bountiful and Mueller Park. Usually the snow is heavy enough that I avoid it, but when it is cold, it skis pretty well.
 |
| From the top of Triangle Peak. Sessions Mountain is up the other pipeline scar across the way. |
 |
| Gas is pretty important. Look how far the pipeline goes. |
 |
| I love the rime encrusted trees in winter. |

| I had fun teaching this sweetie to ski the other day. |
