Ski Day 2


Ski bros and ski bunnies-

Looks like quite the day shaping up for Saturday with a foot of snow falling last night at Park City and more forecasted for Friday night before the sun comes out Saturday. http://www.parkcitymountain.com/winter/conditions/snow_report/report.html

We're setting a meeting time for 8:15am at the ward to go up if people want to carpool but last time most just went up whenever they wanted. These tickets are good for both day and night skiing (9:00am-7:30pm) so prepare for a marathon. I think the best place to park is the lower parking lot right next to First Time chairlift because it is less crowded and First Time opens at 8:45am. The meeting spot for lunch is Mid-Mountain Lodge (Pioneer chairlift area) at 1:00 just like last time.

For those who are interested in a high adventure and working up an appetite for lunch, we are going to hike Jupiter Peak, which takes about 25-30 minutes and climbs 300 vertical feet (9,700ft.-10,000ft.). For this meet at the top of McConkey's chairlift at 11:30am. Here's a picture of the peak, with incredible 360 degree views at the top.


Ward Ski Day 1 we had 76 people and this one we are 117 strong so we will be representing well up there. Ward Ski Day 3 will be tentatively April 11th so keep that in mind.
One more thing: I have had interest expressed to me about people wanting to go up again next Saturday March 14th. We need to get at least 15 people to get the $25 rate so if you want to go up, e-mail me back at demilladam@hotmail.com. Any questions give me a call at 801-558-6647.

See you up there

Adam
