Fresh Air

In the valley we experience a horrible thing during the winter months called an inversion. The high pressure in the upper atmosphere holds down all of the bad air until we have a lovely smog hanging around every day all day. The only way to get around the ick is to go up into the mountains and enjoy the fresh air. We have been pretty lucky to only have a week or so of the smog this winter, but it is still gross and makes it hard to breath. We decided to go for a drive up the canyon to get our clean air. It was georgeous up there. We love Snowbasin, so we went up there to watch people ski and enjoy the sunshine and blue sky. When we got there all the lots were full, but we managed to find a spot to park. They have a fun tubing hill. We sent Emma down just once to the tune of $5 each ride down. She had a great time though and we hope to go spend a day up there letting her go up and down the hill till she's ready to fall over. We had a great time there, looked into lessons for Emma, it costs about $65 for a 2 hour lesson and $15 to rent equipment. A little much for us to afford right now. A full day lift pass costs $68 dollars, we considered Miland getting a lift pass and teaching her himself, but they recomend getting the lessons.


Anyway, it was a good afternoon! We can't wait to go up there again!
