I was just online checking snowfall totals for the local resorts and while I was on Alta's website I found this interesting bit of information for those of you looking to get in a few extra days of skiing this winter. If you go up to Alta on Nov. 15 and 16th from 11-4 p.m. and bring with you a coat to donate that is in good shape you receive a free lift ticket for the 08/09 ski season. maximum 2 lift tickets per person, which is a superb deal considering I personally have at least 9 warm coats that will never see the light of day. So head up there with your spouse/friends and snag some free passes while keeping some folks in our community warm this winter. If you don't ski or have no desire to ski you can donate the passes to me and I will find a place for them in my wallet. There is no better way to ski the unparalleled snow/terrain of Little Cottonwood Canyon, so get up there this weekend! And remember, Alta is for skiers (or any kevin bacon look-a-likes with patchwork neon pants.)
Those of you who know me (matt) know that I love a lot of things; biking, skiing, wife, etc. One of those things I love is the Utah Jazz. I was so excited for the basketball season to begin and when I pulled up their schedule for the year to see who they were playing and what channel it was going to be on, I got a big time punch to the groin. The last few years they have played about half of their games on kjzz and half on a cable channel, which worked out alright. But this year there are like 6 games total on kjzz, that is horrible news for a jazz fan who doesn't have the cheddar to pay for cable to watch them play. I am going to be relegated to the computer room huddled in the corner listening to hot rod hundley announce the game in his drunken stupor on a radio with horrible reception. That is how my winter will be spent. I don't know how those pioneer folk did it...

suiting up for an early morning ride up the banncok in 'big red'--a coat that missy's dad made
carefully crossing the river
matt crossing the log he knocked into the river for me to cross--right before he fell in. thank goodness for gortex shoes!

matthew's family
purtty mountains
elise was a total trooper
so matt heard a noise the first morning at the cabin but didn't see anything out the window. later that morning we found huge bear tracks all around the cabin (a grizzley was shot in august after having broken into a few of the cabins up there).
that thayne family cabin...our home away from home!
elise and her pink boots. they were about two sizes two big and watching her waddle around in them was one of the cutest things ever.
missy & addie
on our way to the cabin we stopped at the 'boiling river' in mammoth so the boys could take a dip. you couldn't have paid me enough to go in...it was freaking freezing outside.
all bundled up
after having squash for lunch. yum.
