OK – a few random things to cover for the month of April! After Snowbasin we made our way back to the Cottonwood Heights area. We pet sat for two very adorable and cuddly cavapoos that maybe weighed 10 pounds combined. Great petsit overall – easy dogs, nice house, good location, and lots of games including a bumper pool table. […]
Spring is my favorite season—great weather, longer days, peak snowpack, and dropping avalanche danger. What’s not to love? FRIENDS COME VISIT Kelcie and Stacey skied Snowbasin, we all met up at Unita Brewing, and she brought us Highlands beer! Tim & Michelle visited for backcountry and resort skiing (more below) Rubie & Lizzie drove down from Park City to ski […]
The winter season is in full gear and we’re living our best life! Sharing some highlights of the last month(ish)… Skiing: Top Housesits – Houses: Top Housesits – Pets: Other Fun Stuff:
We dropped off the camper we made our way to the mountains of Colorado! Our first stop was Winter Park for a week. We skied, took advantage of our AirBnB’s board games and kitchen, and saw friends in the area. One afternoon we stopped for a drink in the lodge at the lodge and found our friend Jeff’s canned cocktails […]
Like confused Canadian Geese, Stacey and I flock from East to West every year around this time. We’ve packed up our gear, said our goodbyes, and left NC for various mountains across the country. Family Fun: A Murder Mystery & Thanksgiving in Boston My mom’s 70th birthday was this year, so Stacey and I threw her (and all her friends) […]
It’s Coulier Season, baby! For those asking yourself, “What is he talking about this time?” I’ll explain: Wikipedia says, “A couloir may be a seam, scar, fissure, or vertical crevasse in an otherwise solid mountain mass.” Skiing these features can be super dangerous due to avalanche danger… But in April, the snow pack begins to become safer — hence, Coulier Season. In […]
We made it to Park City for our first pet sit on Thurs., Jan. 11th. It was a 7 hour drive and some of it was through a pretty nasty winter storm. Stacey drove for about 6 of those hours before switching off with me for the final stretch (she must have been a truck driver in her past life). […]
We spent about two weeks in the mountains of Colorado between Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts. We more or less went straight up to about 7,500 feet above sea level, and we both felt the effects of the elevation and humidity change for the first few days – dull headaches and drinking a ton of water but never feeling […]
I think we found a champion of the tiny ski resorts. I thought that Jack Frost was small. This one takes the cake for sure. Despite the name, Boston Mills is no where near Massachusetts – it’s in Ohio. We made it just in time for opening day — and it was packed (and barely raining at all)! We brought […]
A couple of years ago I noticed there were a lot of ski resorts between New England and Colorado. Since we drive from the east to west coast each year, we thought it would be fun(ny) to incorporate skiing them into our trip. I realized we could easily hit 8 resorts between Pennsylvania and Missouri without deviating much from our […]
