It's been a crazy winter, lots of sun, and more recently, lots of snow. Until recently, mother winter had been holding out on delivering as much white champagne fluff as we are usually so blessed to receive... Jan and parts of Feb brought us wild temperature swings, from 60's and raining-in the mountains- to 20 below zero at the base of the mountain. Wind chill not yet added!
But lately, temps have been moderate, and snow's been a-fallin'. And so we play!

Today was a big day- today Des and I went to Snowbird with our dear Uncle Davie. The snow was deep, and the company was outstanding. And then it happened.... Des got her very first (and then her second, and her third...) FACE SHOT.
For non-skier readers, a FACE SHOT is when you're skiing powder, and it's so deep it comes up over your head, and hits you in the face. Doesn't sound fun... but it is! It's a pretty special experience when the snow is light and deep enough for repetitive face shots!

And just in case you don't think there's good flying to be had in Utah in the winter months... here's Cal Hadley flying a site called Stockton Bar, in the small town of Stockton, UT
