Opening Day, 2013-14 Season....

Just a quick post about opening day at Snowbird.  I kept the kids from school so that we could go up early and enjoy the snow.  Jen had some meetings at work that she couldn't miss so we sadly went without her. I was amazed at how many people were up there just for the one lift (Gazdzoom) that was open.  And off of that lift there was literally just one run open.  Only on the first day will you find people desperate enough to ski these conditions and just be grateful to be back on snow.  Everybody seemed really happy to be out there.  The snow was surprisingly good being mostly man made and my kids ripped up the hill despite the crowded slope.  I had fun trying to keep up.  I love to ski.  Hopefully the snow falls hard soon.  Note:  I forgot to mention that today was the first time we tried out the new parking pass that Snowbird offers now.  It worked great.  The lower lot was about full when we got there but our reserved parking spots were empty and as close to the lift as you could get.  I felt spoiled, and a little sheepish pulling in but I'll take it.

Kids on the lower slopes.  We all had fun.

The mountains need more snow.  Very early season.

A view of the lift line.  At least it moved fast.
