Hello everyone! Greetings from Salt Lake City, UT. I'm staying here with my friend Cari and her boyfriend Ryan. My last days in Fort Collins were a blast. Having stayed in Colorado for as long as I did, I was able to meet a lot of people and see a lot of great things. But every good stop leads to another. And this is no different.
I drove through Wyoming most of the morning and afternoon to get here. There's not much to see off of I-80 (except a few oil refineries). But as you get closer to Salt Lake City, the mountains appear and the view becomes absolutely breathtaking. Without a doubt, one of the most naturally beautiful cities I've ever visited. The warm, grassy city in the valley is completely surrounded by ginormous snow-capped mountains. Where Cari lives, you have a great view of Salt Lake City and she's only a short drive from all the ski resorts.
After stuffing our faces at the Cheesecake Factory, Cari and I decided to take it easy, watch a movie and go to bed relatively early. That put us in great moods to go skiing at Snowbird today. Snowbird is a huge resort only fifteen minutes away. We went in the afternoon to save a few dollars and get an afternoon pass. Without going into extreme detail of the riding I'll say that although the conditions were not 'perfect' I couldn't ask for anything better on my first ski trip out west. The views were spectacular, the slopes were excellent (snow conditions could have been better) and the lodge/spa afterward was a delightful treat.
We just made it back to the house and deciding what we want to do tonight. Perhaps the movies. We'll see I suppose. Give me a little time and I'll upload some photos I took earlier and post them for you to see. I hope you are well wherever you are reading this. Best.
