    EC Family Wasatch Vaca, Hilarity Ensued

    Never thought I'd see the day when a Snowbird trip report shared the same radness as a Deer Valley ski instructor saving the day. Also, a few quality wipeouts, snow tubbing, and an awesome bottle of wine.

    Not a lawyer....just a regular guy who used to ski a ton and now only gets a couple days each season. But glad you liked it! We had a blast.

    Looked like the story of my life. That video could have been any one of my trips with the family to Utah. Celebrated my 30th consecutive season behind the Zion curtain and really stepped it up this year.
    With somewhat limited PTO, I had resisted for years to be a holiday skier, but somehow this year we sucked it up and became Solitude season pass holders. Wound up skiing Christmas week, MLK long weekend, Presidents weekend, the weekend after presidents day and headed out for one last trip spring break and Easter. I quickly have discovered two things.
    1)Don't tell jealous coworkers that you ski in Utah 5 separate times over the same winter.
    2)I would rather get 20 days of skiing in as a cubicle jockey in Utah despite having to fight crowds. So therefore I am that holiday skiing guy.

    Enjoy the family time.

    Ending 30 seconds or so is Eddy Vedder from the soundtrack for Into the Wild. Song is called Rise.
    I demoed the TECH TALK JONG! pro model this spring and their performance was unparalleled which is good because I ski in a wedge most of the time - bendtheski, 2011
