Today is a big day in the life of the Utah ski team. Tim is fifty today although he does not look a day over fifty!
We started off the day with birthday bacon rolls and a bit of left over cheese cake with 50 birthday candles.
After opening his many cards and presents, we decided to hit Brighton ski resort.
The weather was cloudy and cold but dry. This resort is all about tree line skiing and we hit many of the slopes. They could do with a little more powder, but compared to Europe this year, the runs are great.
We suddenly saw the message below on one of the resort information boards. Tim had left his credit card at the lift pass office!!
We had a late lunch, some of us were feeling the cold. Yet again, the lunches were massive, the Americans do calories big time!!
During lunch the heavens opened and we had very heavy snow. It lasted for about an hour. we really thought we would be going home early. The boys were determined to try the slopes and so we hit the lifts again.
After 15 minutes the sky cleared and the sun came out. Fantastic, a couple of inches of new powder and sunshine. We had a fabby couple of hours, tree line skiing and hitting the jumps (or the floor in John's case) in the ski park.
We stopped at the Silver Fork Lodge on the way back for a birthday celebration drink. Shauna fell in lust with one of the waiters (Johnathan) due to his amazing white teeth and eczema!!
Tim loved the Silver Fork T Shirts, so Chris bought him one for his birthday. The girls decided the flowers looked tasty.
Champagne flowed at home and then we popped out to a local restaurant where we had the usual warm food with very salty chips.
A DVD "Chuck and Larry" ended the day by midnight!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMMY!!
