Above is my room at Alta Lodge…check out the retro 70s decor and amazing snow view…

The cozy Alta Lodge lobby…

A pair of skis begging to be used….unfortunately for me Alta only allows skiing so off to Snowbird I go (only 1 mile away)…

The view from the tram at Snowbird…off to the top of the mountain I go…

Monday day and night it snowed so Tuesday we had an amazing powder day under beautifully clear blue skies…

This is my snowboard buried in powder….all that was visible was my thighs…must learn to ride in powder…

After a fun powder day I went into the Snowbird lodge for a well deserved hot cocoa…
