Our Adventures and Guides

We got around skiing in Utah this winter! We hit Alta, Snowbird, and Deer Valley. Snow was sometimes thin and sometimes a bit icy but some of the better skiing we did for the season. Spring skiing vibes at Alta are immaculate 👌 and we got to spectate a skijoring event in SLC with @mprice422 where we feared for the skiers lives having wipeouts off the jump 😳 Last month we visited Capitol Reef National Park for the first time. While there we enjoyed some canyon hiking and scrambling, kite flying in the frequently windy conditions, petroglyph spotting, scenic driving, and pie eating (we totaled out at 3 🤤). This park had a lot more to offer than we expected, and we would definitely go back to try out canyoneering someday! 🤩 Tahoe time! We headed to Tahoe with our Ikon passes after Mammoth, and thus began the icy portion of the season (which lasted most of the season). Save for one tumbling slider that Abby took pretty far down the mountain 😅, that didn’t stop us from having tons of fun at Palisades and Alpine Meadows. Months later we’re still thinking about this one coffee shop in Truckee and that 2.99 diesel in Nevada. Well, our ski season is over so I guess it’s time to talk about ski season 😅 The winter started off strong in the Mammoth Lakes area, where we skied inbounds at both Mammoth and June and explored a bit on our touring skis. A perk about skiing in this area of the Sierras is that there’s lots and lots of natural hot springs around! ♨️ These were especially nice to start the day with after a 4°F night 🥶
