Snow Mobiling February 2010

I spent one of the most fun weekends up in the Wasatch Mountains with two students of mine who decided to show me their version of paradise and I have to admit it was quite cool. We drove to the middle of nowhere near Park City as far as the roads were cleared. From there we got on some snow mobiles and finished the last 8 miles of the trip to the Millburn Mountain home. Their place is tight, Jame's and Jake's version of Neverland.

There we enjoyed some great food, ping pong, Seinfled, and of course, snow mobiling. It is a lot harder than I anticipated to manage the sled in the rolling hills of fresh powder. You really have to throw your weight around to get the snow mobile to carve and turn sharply. You'll see how it's done in the video below of James ripping it up. I pulled with all my might but just didn't have the know-how like James and Jake did. It was a ton a fun though and I would love to give it another shot.

Christmas in Phoenix and San Diego 2009

So my roommate Sam and I flew to Phoenix to see Jeremy for Christmas. We were joined by mom, dad, Brett, Andrew, and Emma. After Christmas we drove to San Diego to see my Aunt Celia. The weather was great and we were able to do some climbing on the rocks, frisbee, golf, and some sightseeing. In San Diego we visited friends and family and took like a 3 mile walk on the beach. I think I gained around 10 pounds on this trip.
