It was another sunny beautiful day in Snowbird, UT. Hour-by-hour weather.com gave us until noon when the winds would pick up, so we decided it was time to check out our snowshoes and trekking poles we've had for a long time but have rarely used. By the time we finally got all our snow clothes on and figured out how to get ourselves strapped into our snowshoes and our trekking poles with snow guards to the right length and out the doors into the snow, it was noon and starting to get windy, as promised. We braved it anyway and had a delightful tour of the landscape we've been watching from our warm studio. We were plenty warm (at some point we have to wear or use EVERYTHING we so carefully packed and brought along, you know).
Not wanting to wear ourselves out at this elevation, we came back, had lunch and a nap, and headed out to Alta by the alternate route (by car), checked out the other buildings in this complex and grocery store (small jar of jam $6.09, small avocados at $2.99 each), came back, jumped in our personal, private hot tub to watch the snow grooming machine make its daily rounds, then back in for popcorn and a movie and noticed it was now raining outside - turning to snow - and it currently looks like a lightly misty fog out there. They were promising thunder showers at 9:00 pm - wrong again.
