    Transfer to our Salt lake City flight. Big mountains here! After a flight attendant friend suggested we'd give the staff a small gift we got given a bottle of champagne before we left the flight! Only forgot to check it in with our luggage! Now what will happen to it?Read more

  • Iron Mountain sledging

    January 21, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Took a trip up Iron Mountain to go sledging. 1.5 km walk up followed by a rapid ascent down on a tea tray with handles. Not a very wide track and lots of trees and snow drifts as potential obstacles to make you fly off course. We did all make it down the bottom in one piece though! Fun!Read more

    First attempt at cross country skiing. This touring centre is ideal for newbys like me with an easy 3km groomed trails. Didn't take too long to get the hang of it and it certainly gives you a good workout! The dip in the hot tub afterwards certainly soothed the muscles!Read more

    January 24, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

    When your faced with snow and ice you need to adapt your equipment! A fat bike seems a good choice. Riding with Sally round the Swanner Preserve and the valleys around Park City. Some tricky sign posting caused navigational challenges but we overcame those and managed the whole of the planned route!Read more

  • Round Valley Fat Bike Tour day 2

    January 25, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ -6 °C

    When your daughter wants you to go out on another fat bikectour you just can't refuse, especially if the other daughter wants to treat you to a cappuccino in Park City Roastery. The cappuccino did not disappoint but the paper cup did. Off to Round Valley trails, around 4km from the hire shop. Names like Matt's Flat, Big Easy, Rademan Ridge, Cammy's Loop and Hat Trick tempt you onto some great mostly groomed trails. Some are almost single track and others wide and sweeping but all are great fun and manageable with some MTB experience.Read more

    Great trip up the mountain fir a bit of sliding. 1 mile walking up the Trail dodging the moose! Once on top of the mountain we had to follow the same Trail back the mountain, very interesting when you are on a plastic seat with handles! We did all make it down in one piece. Afterwards we visited the 'Ice castles', a field full off castle looking structures made out of ice!Read more
