Mis-Adventures in Bachelorhood: snowbird

snowbird

The week after Thanksgiving I only had a short week because Ian and I and the fam were going up to Mormonland for some skiing. Whoever thought up the idea of strapping sticks to your feet so you could go down a mountain faster than you can fall is a genius. We were going to Snowbird to the Cliff lodge which is a ski in and ski out resort. Sadly since it was so early in the season there wasn't much snow. The mountain was only 2% open which meant only two trails and two lifts. The lifts were parallel to one another so it was really only 1 lift and 1 run. It's a huge mountain in the Wasatch Mountains in upper canyon Salt Lake City. Generally it takes a day or two to find your ski legs, and while you do that you are falling down the mountain and injuring yourself and pulling muscles and twisting and contorting muscles you didn't know existed. Well I had a fun time. Friday Ian and I roamed the hotel, but like most places in Salt Lake you have to be a member to go into any restaurant or bar. Such are Mormon laws having to do with alcohol consumption. Saturday we got up and Ian finally met my fairly attractive step-sister. He liked her because shes fairly smart, fairly attractive, fairly tall, and fairly employed. But he said it would never work. Or that's what his mother told me, hes already my brother, might as well make it official. N-E-WAYZ, we ditched Samm and Zac, because they are baby beginners and we are studs. Met everyone for lunch and re hit the slopes. Afterwards I hit up the Jacuzzi, Ian said he didn't want to join, but eventually he succumbed. Like all people there is just something special about a glistening white boy 6'4" and full of muscles, that beckons them to me. Sunday was more of the same only not as long. Skied most of the morning, got some lunch and did it up again. Then we took Ian to the airport. I made tacos with cumin and everyone thought I was crazy till they tried it and they shutup and ate. Monday I had to do some more homework before our flights. Samms flight was early so I got to the airport 4 hours before my flight and I watched Entourage. That's about it, a short weekend, but heres some pictures so Im sure Escobar will enjoy.
