Skiing!

Oh.my.gosh. Utah is absolutely breathtaking! I fell in love with everything about it. The clean air, the fresh snow, the active lifestyle, all of it. I even learned to love skiing! It was my very first time on skis, but fortunately I picked it up quickly. Partly due to the fact that I accidentally went down a blue run on my first day!

We stayed in Park City, Utah which is picturesque! Everywhere you look is postcard worthy! The first day, we went skiing at Park City then the next at Deer Valley. We decided we liked Park City better so we went back there for our last day. We crammed sooo much into our quick trip! We visited the Utah Olympic Park which had memoribilia of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. Speaking of, the snowboarding and skiing portions of the Olympics were actually held on the mountains we skiied! So we were able to see jumps and courses that had been for the games. We went to Main Street every night in Park City. It looked like Christmas even in February. There were lights everywhere- on trees, buildings, strung across the streets. Main St is lined with bars, restaurants, art galleries, and shoppes.

It was definitely hard to leave. People are so incredibly friendly there! I'm from the South, and I can honestly say people were happier and more friendly there than even back home in Alabama! When people are nice to you that work in the airport, you know they must love their lives! :) If you ever get the chance to choose a skiing destination, I highly recommend Park City, Utah. Although I'm not an expert by any means (seeing as this is my first ski trip), the popular consensus among visitors was that it was on the top of their list as well.
