sometimes you just don't go skiing

Which was the case last weekend, which is why this blog has been so empty: we don't go skiing, we don't got much to write about.  Saturday we decided not to go because there hadn't been any new snow in about a week, plus it was a little overcast and we rationalized that we didn't want to ski tracked-out, hard moguls in flat light.  Sunday brought rain in the valley and heavy, wet snow up in the mountains - they ended up with a new foot of the stuff from that storm, plus additional 2" accumulations a couple of times throughout this past week - and we rationalized that it would take so long for any accumulation to matter that we'd be soaked by then, and we didn't want to get soaked.  Total Utah ski snobs, I tell ya.

So instead we walked the dog, did a ton of laundry, watched some t.v. (a marathon of BBC America's Top Gear) and made snickerdoodles.  Not so eventful.  Maybe this weekend will bring a little more doin'.
