Feb 3 - 10

Can't believe it's been over 2 weeks since we last blogged. The first week of February was our first "guest week" with a great visit from BSG members, Tom and Mary Koza, whose son, Jason, is working at Alta Lodge with Heather. Mike's sister Rosie also visited for a portion of the week. Here's Tom and Mary in high altitudes!

With no new snow that week we "only" skied 3 days that week. The ski gang in photo is my friend, Marie, (Jean and Mike), and Tom (dubbed Tom "Cruise" for cruising the slopes!).

After surviving his first day of skiing at Alta with son, Jason, and us, Tom found himself in the "temple" of spirits (i.e. the Sitzmark Bar in the Alta Lodge), kneeling and giving thanks to the gods of distilled spirits for being in one piece.

We enjoyed a day with our offspring in Park City visiting galleries and touring the High West Distillery. The culmination was a delicious dinner at the distillery.

The gang spent a non-ski day up in Big Cottonwood Canyon snowshoeing up to Doughnut Falls. It was a delightful "hike" among the tall pines and lightly falling snow. Here's the some of the gang up in the terrain.

Tom "Cruise" above and Rosie and Mary below.

Here's Mikey blowing out his birthday candles for an early celebration of his 60th with Rosie and the Koza's and our kids. Guess he is still not old since the saying out here is "Alta: no place for old men!!!"
