We Want Snowboarding!

For this next Sochi post, I'm going to let someone else tell the story! One evening, I made my way to the very same pub that was quite into Bon Jovi along with four friends/coworkers. Chris Knight, a great writer for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, shared our experiences with live king crabs, restaurant rejections, camaraderie with some Brits and more as we attempted to get snowboarding on TV in the pub!

An Update on Life

Hey all! It's been awhile.

I was sick for about three weeks, so I wasn't really feeling like doing a whole lot of writing. I spent most of those three weeks in bed, consuming copious amounts of Powerade and soup and working.

One of the weekends during my bout with the flu was a crazy weekend of work events! Both the Deer Valley Visa Freestyle International and Park City Sprint U.S. Grand Prix were happening here on the same weekend, so I was out at those. Fortunately, my fever took a break for a few days to allow me to enjoy working the events!

 

I saw Hannah Kearney win both dual moguls and single moguls, Michael Rossi and Bradley Wilson take their first career podiums, the USA men sweeping the Park City podium (Shaun White, Scotty Lago and Luke Mitrani) and two USA women on the women's Park City podium (Arielle Gold and Kaitlyn Farrington). I missed the freeskiing events because I was shooting photos at a Delta autograph session, but all in all, it was a pretty awesome weekend! 

Since recovering from being sick and working Park City events, I've been skiing (surprise, surprise). I went to Canyons Resort for the first time, which was fun. It was a rather warm day for skiing and I got to see some outstanding views.

I also got a haircut the other day! I opted to get bangs for the second time in my adult life.

Even though ski season only has about a month and a half left (sad!), there's plenty of fun events coming up in the near future. I'm going to a few concerts, hopefully going to Las Vegas again and possibly making a border run for Wyoming (gotta keep my streak of visiting other states every month alive).

Oh, and everyone - less than a year until the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi!!

Winter is Coming...

I didn't have ANY idea how anxious I'd be for winter simply by virtue of working and living in a ski town. Those of you who have known me for awhile know that, although I love winter sports, I'm not too keen on the winter/snow/cold part.

Park City had its first snow storm a little over a week ago.

Now, with the snow covering the ski runs...I CANNOT WAIT TO GO SKIING!!

BRING ON WINTER!!
