Park City, UT

Some people think that ski towns are all about the party... and to some extent, I do agree.  Others say it is all about the skiing... and to some extent (in Park City), I do agree (other places are more about the skiing). Others think that living in a ski town means a permanent vacation... that is where we start to differ on opinions.  Live my life.  It's no vacation.  But, I can tell you, I am happy to be alive, living, experiencing new things, seeing moose, working hard, making some money, living the dream, and being outside almost every day.  The air is fresher here for sure.  Park City, UT has been about the people that you meet.  Some are quirky, hilarious, out of it... basically any adjective would describe someone here.  Park City has been about people that we have met.  I want to share a couple of videos just because I think they are hilarious.  They are probably not hilarious unless you know the people. But, these are my friends.  And I am proud to claim them.



(This is Mickey... he is maybe the funniest person I know, the other two people who hop on stage with him are Sara Jo (who i found out today that her family Easter tradition was to shoot their decorated easter eggs that her dad would throw in the air, she is from New York and should be from the South) and Dan.  


VIDEO 
(it won't let me upload it directly to the blog :()

This next video is at a Jimmy Curry show at the Spur.  Jimmy has a band with his brother and cousin.  They are pretty amazing.  Here is a link to one of their original songs.  The main singer in this is his brother Tommy.  You should scroll down and read what people have written.  Reminds me of a Mr. Connell.  Now, the video above is some of Jimmy's good friends jamming out.  The guy dancing is famous in Park City for playing an air fiddle when Jimmy sings Wagon Wheel.

Excitation

I know, I know, it has been WAY too long.  And I totally agree.  I must say I feel like I have been walking around in a daze recently.  I guess now I am finally waking up, and I know that this is real.  I am really living out west, in Utah of all places.  I am living in the mountains, and I am a ski instructor.  When did this all happen?  Anyway, I have some super exciting news...

Are coming to visit....

In this state


Well honestly, they are coming to ski.  And the snow is finally falling.  Two blessings in one... friends and powder.  I cannot freaking wait.  

Also, funny story.  Today, I was skiing with a local kid and we decided to see who could spot the most items hanging from the tree.  For some reason skiers like to throw beads, panties, and bras into trees.  Don't ask me why.  I honestly like to keep all of that on so that I stay warm, but people do it.  I guess they think they will always be remembered by that specific tree above the bumps they probably cannot ski.  Anywho, the little girl goes... "I see a necklace and BOOBS!"  Meaning a bra, but I literally almost fell off the lift because I was laughing so hard.  

The town is currently being taken over by film makers and producers for Sundance.  It is kind of strange because the town has a completely different vibe.  Tons of people and no lift lines.  It is so nice.  Lots of ugly coral jackets walking around saying (I keep thinking it is Michael Koors/Coors?  but it is not) Kenneth Cole.  I thought that was a designer?  Excited to see what is to come these next couple of days!

Hope all are doing well.  If you are feeling adventurous, head out this way and we'll go find some moose, elk, mountain lions, or bears (have not seen the last two yet thank goodness, but have ample time to do so).  

Much love,
