Back from my ski trip in Park City, Utah. Had a great time. The elevation was just below 10,000 feet so high altitude sickness wasn't severe compare to Breckenridge, CO, which is close to 13,000 feet from sea level. I only fell a couple times, all on flat terrain for no apparent reason. One of those falls, I crushed my glass case in which I carried my regular pair of glasses but the glasses were OK. I wore my ski goggle over my sun glasses, one with prescription for my nearsightedness, while skiing. Met a whole bunch more of new friends this year but also got to see Brian and Kaitlin again. Park City has the longest green run I've seen. The first time we took the Eagle lift up, skied down Temptation, took the King Con lift up, then skied down Rose Bud and Claim Jumper before taking the Silverlode lift up to the top and going down Homerun. It took me 35 minutes to get down the first run but I got down faster in the following runs. Once we got it figured out, we took the PayDay lift up and then Bonanza lift up higher to go Homerun trail all the way down.
