10 Cities, 100 Discoveries: 5 – Utah Shredding
Someone famous said, “Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” For me, it’s a new way of seeing things, or as Carrie, from Sex and the City said it’s reminding myself that, “[Everything] is just a plane ride way.” Besides, what would the journey, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, be without travel, or more specifically, 10 unique cities. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 Cities here and the entire project here. Enjoy the ride, I sure am!
I love skiing whether it’s on the water or in the snow. Last spring, I rediscovered snow skiing at Mt. Charleston and became a total weekend ski bum. But, in Vegas, all the cool skiers turn their noses up at Mt. Charleston and head to Brian Head, Utah instead. This past weekend, with three guys in tow, that’s exactly what I did. Now, I understand why people turn their noses up at Mt. Charleston 
With the sun shining and perfect weather, we spent the days tearing up the mountain and the nights drinking beer at the Grand Lodge. Brian Head is a medium sized mountain with great trails for intermediate skiers. Along with lots of blue squares, we did several black diamonds, some steep hills and took a few great tumbles to remind us to “fall harder“.
It was a weekend of many firsts and one that I entered into with no expectations. Upon exiting, it was one of those awesome weekends that you wish didn’t have to end. As for the rest of it? I think this is one discovery I want to keep all to myself.
