Day 34: 3/22/08

Conditions: Powder and packed powder
Location: Snowbird, UT

Highlights:

- Soft snow and trees off the Gad 2 Lift
- Steph made a new friend named Ben during lunch thanks to her proud display of Spartan pride. Apparently there are many Spartan fans in Park City.

Lowlights:

- Steph was sore and never felt quite right all day; amazingly Dirk was unstoppable.
- We quit early. Steph wanted to cruise down groomers and Dirk wanted to hop over the river and through the woods.

Après Ski:

On their way out the door, Dirk expressed disappointment that Steph was wearing an MSU shirt out on the town. Apparently, a Tommy Bahamas shirt is much higher class than an MSU shirt. Steph changed into a POLO sweater and pouted. We went to an Italian dive and sat at the bar. By then we were already stuffed from eating snacks while watching the afternoon games, so the food didn't even taste that good. Ridden with guilt, Dirk suggested they duck into a bar to see in anyone had a Midwest feed of CBS (the only part of the nation that was showing the MSU game instead of the Texas A&M game). Amazingly, the bar had several. Even more amazing…there were several tables of MSU fans decked out in MSU hats and t-shirts. Hm…

  1. Dear Steph and Dirk,
    Sounds like fun! I am going to Blue tomorrow as the "mountain" still have a great base and I need to ski a couple more days this winter.

    Love, Mom
