Brighton ski resort was graced with copious amounts of snow last night and the natives are restless. Blue sky and powder make for a fabulous day of skiing today.

See you on the slopes.

They spent a memorable Valentines day with dinner and a sleigh ride in Heber.

Here is what Deborah had to say about her experience at Great Western: “The sleigh ride and dinner was very nice; we had a delightful time. The ride was a bit shorter than I expected, but it was fun. We went to a place called The Homestead actually in Midway UT right before you approach Heber. (The sleigh rides are through Rocky Mountain Outfitters) It is a resort built around the hot springs. The people were very friendly and welcoming. The dinner was excellent and at $68.00 per person for the dinner and sleigh ride, it was a good deal. The drive is a bit further than I would want to do in bad weather, but we didn’t have any problems.”

For more information on Rocky Mountain Outfitters, visit them at RockyMtnOutfitters.com or call 1-435-654-1655.

This is a picture of Paul our snow removal guru. He has been busy these past few days. We have had 38 inches in the past 48 hours. And I think Paul has gotten a meager 4 hours of sleep in those same 48hours. Make sure you give him a friendly wave as he drives by you sitting cozily in your warm cabin at Brighton Ski Resort, Utah

If I do my job well, you will never meet me. Why’s that you ask? We’ll, I’m the shadow shoveling two-feet of the “World’s Greatest Snow” away from your door in the wee hours of the morning, the abominable snowman character on the tractor clearing your driveway, the fleck of green that just sailed past your window as I get carried off your roof by an avalanche of snow in an effort to clear it. My job is throw, move, push, lift, melt and heave the 500+ inches of snow that Brighton Ski Resort receives each year.

It’s days like today when I get to enjoy and celebrate this frozen moisture we call the “World’s Greatest Snow”. Today I was first in line on the Millicent Quad and enjoyed several speed runs on perfectly groomed corduory (freshly groomed snow looks like corduroy). On my second run, I rode up the chair with Randy Doyle, General Manager of Brighton Ski Resort and got all the latest news including that Brighton has the best ski conditions currently of all the Utah resorts including Park City, Alta and Snowbird.

After enjoying the morning skiing Brighton, I was ready to skate ski at the Solitude Nordic Center. Currently the upper and lower Redman loops are open and it felt good to be on my skate skis for the first time this year. After an hour of skating – I was pooped – but already looking forward to skating again tomorrow.

More snow is expected Tuesday. Fingers crossed and I can get my snow removal chores done before the lifts open and perhaps I WILL see you on the Millicent Chair at 9:00 am.

Adrienne Aldous Skiing at Solitude Ski Resort

This is a picture of my first day of skate skiing this season.

The Solitude Nordic Track was empty but for me and the big blue sky. Just Little Redman and Big Redman loops were open and it is a good thing because they kicked my heini. Next time will be easier. Need more snow and conditions.

Weather at Solitude Ski Resort:
Snow in the forecast - get your boards waxed!
Misc & Events: We open for winter Nov 13 - conditions permitting.

Are you aware of avalanches?
It’s dumping the “Greatest Snow on Earth” at Solitude!

With the snow piling up and backcountry season in full swing, there’s never been a better time to join Solitude’s Professional Ski Patrol and Snow Safety team for their Avalance Awareness Clinic, December 19-20.

Focusing on how to travel safely and responsibly outside resort boundaries, this two day course is a great introduction to the identification of avalanche hazards and the skills needed to safely travel in the backcountry.

Learn how to identify avalanche terrain, analyze snow and weather factors and manage group dynamics. Plus, gain valuable knowledge concerning avalanche rescue skills. After an avalanche presentation on the morning of day one, the rest of day one and two will be spent in the backcountry putting these concepts into action.

Don’t miss this great opportunity! Spots are limited so sign up quick!

Their quote of the week was “this was the most memorable Thanksgiving we’ve ever had”. They enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Creekside Restaurant, nonstop skiing and playing in the pool and hottub, and cartoons by the fireplace. Couldn’t be better. Mark even treated himself to a massage at the Solitude Spa.
