The Canyons- Jon&Kate Plus 8 Trip

[snowgirl]

Has anyone else seen the episode of the tv show Jon & Kate plus 8 when they go on a fatanstic trip to the The Canyons in Utah?

It looks like an awesome place to visit. The show is based on a family with sextuplets and 2 other girls.

Keep an eye out for the ski trip episode if you haven't seen it yet its a must for any ski lover, they have all the little kids up and skiing its great. It looks like a wonderful mountain to visit. The one day they opened the mountain early for the dad so he could ski on the fresh powder before anyone else!!

It just caught my eye as I was stuck inside on a rainy spring day yesterday and I saw them skiing and it made me jealous and looking forward to next ski season!

They did make the trip to the Canyons look like fun. But did you see the previous episode--the one with them flying there and being delayed. Very funny and sad all in one. Complete meltdown by Kate (and the kids) -- I'm not saying she didn't deserve to meltdown, but the whole episode made me cringe. Wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near that flight!

Canyons is great. I've had so much fun everytime I've been there. It's a lot of ground to cover, so some complain about the traverses, but once you know your way around it's nonstop fun!

I'm currently fascinated by this show. Probably because I don't have kids, and didn't ever want them - it's kind of like a looking-glass world to me! How they haven't gone insance is completely beyond me.

Sure did make me interested in going to The Canyons . . .

I saw that episode about 2 weeks after I got back from a trip to UT! I LOVED The Canyons! There is an endless amount and variety of terrain there. I spent 2 days there and was able to check most of it out. I've heard people complain about it, but being used to Killington, which is also sprawling, you just pick an area of the mountain & ski there for a while, then move onto another. You can waste all your time if you keep going from place to place...

Gee I wonder who threw in that nice freebie trip for them? One of their sponsors? Don't get me wrong...love the show...but don't believe everything they want you to see on the show. They get lots of help with those kids.

I keep missing this episode. Hey, it's all called "product placement," and there's plenty of it in most shows, but especially this one. It's advertising for whatever is shown! And it's cheaper than commercial advertising! Think about how many times these shows are repeated. This is the "new" advertising.
