To Bryce

We don’t get to travel much any more these days, so on the way back from skiing we detoured to Bryce Canyon.

It was surprisingly crowded for the winter.  Just our luck it was some sort of winter festival.   Well still, we’re here now and a bear wants to explore.  We made a quick stop to the Visitors Centre and were pointed to the Queen’s Garden Trail.

The trail’s nice.  And it was a great day out.

I saw people hiking in flip flops.  They are crazy.  I opted to be carried.  As usual.

When you are well prepared, no hill is too steep to climb.

Suckers.

Powder Mountain

Now that Pokin’s joined YPO, she’s making an effort to meet the members more. “The Couples retreat is one of the best ways to get to know the members,” Val (the chapter manager) told Pokin. So she signed up to go on the retreat, which happened to be at a place called Powder Mountain.

Last year this time, we went skiing at Snowbird which was pretty great, so I was excited. The place is called Powder Mountain because normally there is a lot of powder. Ski time! Hot cocoa time!

Except due to some freak weather phenomenon they actually had no new snow and everything was pretty icy…I guess we’ll just have to come back again next year to get proper skiing in.

Still, I do remember my bud taking advantage of the snow and going skiing. It was a work day, and while he was skiing the servers at work crashed. His employees messaged him saying “help, the servers are down”. He took out his phone at the top of the mountain, connected to the systems remotely, fixed the problem and then took this photo to show where he was and continued skiing. That’s productivity 101 right there.
