Snow-tivities

We have really been enjoying
the snow around here lately.
Eric is already wishing it would 
snow again - I think there's still 
plenty of snow on the ground.

Anyway, here are some pictures
of us playing in the snow with Oliver,
followed by some pictures of us
skiing in Park City.  


Oliver - demonstrating how deep the snow is

We went to see a Warren Miller
Film recently.  (Warren Miller puts out
a new film each year - all about skiing
and snowboarding.  It's pretty cool)
With our ticket purchases
we were given lift tickets to a resort in
Park City called the Canyons!

We decided to use our
lift tickets yesterday.
Eric and I got to try out
our new skis (We both got
new skis recently - I also got
a new jacket, gloves, and goggles)!

The first picture is one of my favorites....    


The first ski run we did was
called Boomer.  For those of you
not familiar with Oklahoma Football,
Boomer is something we chant at OU
football games.  One side of the stadium
yells BOOMER and then the other side
yells SOONER!  So I was pretty excited 
to see a little piece of Oklahoma in Utah.

Then we skied down a little further and
saw the above sign.  BROKEN ARROW!
My hometown!  Pretty cool, huh?!

Eric and me on the slopes at the Canyons resort in Park City, Utah

Riding the ski lift - gorgeous views!


Eric took this cool artsy picture of our shadows from the ski lift.




Last run of the day...

Riding a lift down to the car...

We enjoyed our day together.
Eric is helping me become a better
skier.  It's a lot of fun!
The Canyons resort was pretty nice
but it was like a maze.  There were
so many different lifts to ride - 
Eric described it like Willy Wonka's
Chocolate Factory - you have to go
backwards to go forwards.  Haha.

But we both love our new skis!
And I stayed warm in all my new gear!
We are looking forward to many more
skiing adventures together!
