Being as we are in Utah, it was time to catch up on the Mormon thing so we took the light rail ($3 return, take that Toronto) downtown to SLC, checked out an organ concert in the 21,000 seat Mormon convention centre (as the seismic upgrade for the Tabernacle is 3 months late and counting), did some family history searching in their huge centre (found zip for Barb, got the Halsalls back to late 1700's (nobody moved from the same village until our grandfather, and weaving is our trade). Very nice people all through their centre, which is enormous. Left SLC and skied Park City Resort on Sunday. No Mormons there. Frozen until it thawed in the 15deg sunshine. Took Barb a bit cross--country on the last run - probably first tracks ever for this cliff. Too much cross the hill stuff at this place. Skied Canyons today. Huge place with lots of terrain variety and good vibe - if a bit more tourist and less skier than ideal. Even a bit of soft stuff left in some north facing tree slopes. Thermometer in the sun at the bottom was over 90deg. Downtown for some tourist stuff and dinner. Free buses are neat. Given up on going to Colorado since skiing is so marginal. Heading to Jackson because it's one of the ski Meccas that we just gotta ski.
