Today started with heavy snow, so we decided to go to a lowish resort, Solitude. However, due to the weather we visited the Tanger outlet discount stores.
Everything is discounted but also branded. John managed to get a fabby pair of Cat shoes for just £33 and the boys purchased wacky trainers, t-shirts, hoodies etc.
Once the big shop was over, we headed off to Solitude. This resort is relatively small with some good back runs and nice easy slopes.
After a few hours there was an massive clap of thunder and the snow just flew down. They closed the lifts for 15 minutes, so we headed off to the bar.
When the lifts re opened we hit the slopes and cruised the runs in the most amazing powder. We went gliding through larches on soft, forgiving powder. The best experience and one you dream about. It was simply wonderful to float on virgin powder to a couple of hours.
Just before coming off the slopes, the wind increased and we had a weird of experience of being almost blown back up the hill in a blizzard!
On the way back to Park City, we stopped off at our regular bar/hotel for a drink and some nachos.
We had dinner at home, spag carbonara and cheese cake!!
Also, a big happy birthday to Russ!!
