All -The last day of skiing Utah. Three days; three completely different skiing experiences. The first day was snow with a little powder. The second day was a dump. Both days the valley was wrapped in by clouds. Today it was clear skies with wisps of clouds whipping by. You could see the mountains on both sides.
The 12" inches of overnight snow turned out to be about 5" inches.
They were still dynamiting for avalanche control today and with the clouds moving by the mountain was a little surreal. It was a little like that moment in Boogie Nights where they go to rob the drug dealer and his assistant keeps setting of Snap Pops all through the scene.
Ok, I'm multi-tasking and watching TV right now. Has anyone seen those Snuggie commercials (the blanket you wear)? Is it me or does it look like cultwear? Anyway...
So I only skiied one place in Utah. But that is ok. I probably crammed five days of skiing into three because of the powder and the lack of any lift lines to speak of. I am totally spent.
I wandered into a Super Target to get air freshener (see previous note on hotel room smell). Wow. These places are HUGE.
Did you know Jeff Goldblum was in Death Wish?
I've tried to find a reason to spend any time in downtown Salt Lake and, after re-reviewing the Lonely Planet Southwest Guide, there is none. I'll drive through but don't think I'll stop. We'll see. I spent enough time there in 2002 during the Olympics, anyway. Quite frankly, it looks like there is nothing interesting between here and Reno/Tahoe. Could be a loooong ride.
