Utah 2009

I’ve been here just over a week now and I’ve skied every day except one. The first two days weren’t the best snow-wise, but the weather was absolutely beautiful. It started snowing on Friday, though, and it hasn’t really stopped since. The past week has definitely been some of the best skiing of my life.

I’ve started a Flickr set where I’m going to post one photo a day from every day I ski, which is here, and I’m tracking all my days on the snow over on my user page on Mountain Reviews.

I’ve also gotten over the initial culture shock and general disorientation of living in Salt Lake. I have to say that the city isn’t really doing anything for me so far, but I’m going to give it a little more time to woo me before I make up my mind. It kind of reminds me on LA or Miami in the sense that you have to drive 30 minutes to get anywhere, and everything kind of looks the same. It doesn’t remind me at all of LA or Miami in the sense that it seems like everyone here is a white conservative couple, which I pretty much expected, but it’s still a bummer.

Overall, now that I’m a little bit in the groove of living here, I can say without a doubt that I am super glad I did this.
