First, a disclaimer, I am juggling making biscuits and gravy for 25 and have baked 60 biscuits this evening and am on batch 2 of gravy so I haven't uploaded photos yet. Honestly, the photos are of NannyMin and scenery, somehow we didn't get one of us together. Oops.
We decided to meet a little later than planned so I could have Easter breakfast with my family so we were at Camp Hale around 9:20ish. Weather started off COLD (3 degrees at my car at 9am!) but we knew it was supposed to warm up to around 35 and the cloudless blue sky indicated that would be true.
We headed up for an easy warm up off American Eagle and then headed for Copper Bowl which was fantastic! While not fresh snow it was in good condition with a few soft bumps. During the day we also hit Spaulding Bowl (so NannyMin could see where I took my kiddos last week), Cabin Chutes (which I've never headed down before but Nanny was game and it was great, probably my best bumps run ever!)
The only very sad part of the day was skiing upon a mass of patrollers huddled over someone. I knew it was bad when I spotted it and then realized they were doing CPR. And a young boy stood and watched. Both NannyMin and I wanted to go grab the child and protect him but knew that it wouldn't be good. I only hope it wasn't a parent (there was another man there) and the person lived. Say a prayer for these people please if you are the praying type. :(
But, overall, it was a fantastic day (tempered with a bit of sadness) and I have the sunburn to prove it (um, yeah, forgot to put my make-up on this morning which has my sunscreen in it, oops). Nanny, thanks for joining me, I'm looking forward to skiing with you again on Saturday!
