So I had a nice weekend away. Tony, his brother Matt, and I went up to a condo in Eden, UT for the weekend. I had originally booked the condo back in November. Originally the plan was myself and Lacey, Tony & Chelsey, & Eric & Natalie. The largest I was able to book was a 2 bedroom, and as the other couples were married, didn't want to crowd their rooms. Unfortunately Natalie got sick so they weren't able to go. I tried others, but it was very last minute. As Chelsey would be the only woman there she decided to stay home as well (Which ended up being a good thing as she got sick too. ).

So Tony I got up there about 5:30 on Friday. The fog was starting to get bad, but not super bad yet. Matt arrived about 6:30. We loaded up in my car and drove to Ogden to get some groceries at Macey's. The fog then was super thick! Got our groceries and went back up, through the thick fog, to chill and watch Hot Fuzz.

Saturday we all woke up around 8. We looked outside and saw rain. Checked the weather and it didn't sound much more promising. We cooked some breakfast and made our way out. We decided to check the snow at Snowbasin before deciding. The lot there was empty, and it was raining. We walked around, checked the lift prices, and decided to go for it. So first we went in and got our skis. After we got them we stepped outside and the rain had turned to little ice pellets. A few minutes later and it was snow. Still very wet and heavy, but snow. We got all our gear on and took the Needles Express up the mountain. As soon as we got off we noticed we couldn't see 20 feet in front of us. The combination of fog and snow was horrible. So we started off slowly. Picking out routes we could barely see when we removed our goggles. Going downhill was an adventure. With such heavy snow, and no visibility, we would go a little bit, then stop. A few times I thought I was stopped, wasn't though, and when I'd relax I'd suddenly get moving in a direction I wasn't ready for ending up in a crash. Unfortunately I was not up to the day, and half way down my legs were already done. I finished the run and told Tony and Matt to go on without me. I chilled for a bit, then realized I was at my limit unfortunately. So I took my skis back and got comfortable until they were done. Definitely the most expensive single run I have ever done, but I still had fun. And even though it was just one run I felt satisfied.

Tony and Matt made their way to the car at about 3:30. We headed back to the condo, then bee-lined it to the hot tub. We relaxed there for a good long while, shaking out our muscles. For dinner that night we decided to go to a steak house. So first we checked the prices at the Timbermine. Much more than we wanted to spend that night. Ruby River had a 75 minute wait. Texas Roadhouse 60 minutes. We ended up at Chuck-a-rama. At least is was cheap! Went back to the condo after eating, and watched Better Off Dead. After that one we started Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure but were just way too worn out.

Sunday we all got up around 9. It was the snow plow that woke me up. It had snowed pretty good overnight there. We cleaned up and were out by 11 heading home. The snow stopped in Ogden Canyon, and turned to rain. Then pretty much rain all the way down until SLC, when it was really slushy on the road. But we made it back with no incident. Definitely a fun weekend, and I'll have to try it again, and hopefully nobody gets sick beforehand!
