nine years

We've just ticked off another move-iversary: nine years, having arrived in SLC around 3 p.m. on October 3, 2009.  Looking back on our year - which we count as starting in October and finishing in September - what have we done?  Not as much skiing but a lot of hiking - and the hiking isn't done yet.  Here's what we did:

October 2017 - MTBing; hiking (Millcreek Canyon, Park City, Alta); trip to Fruita and Moab

November 2017 - MTBing; hiking (including the annual Sol-Bright hike after the first decent snow); Thanksgiving Turkey Trot

December 2017 - Alta's opening day (finally); some skiing; lots of baking at home because of the low snow conditions; good skiing on Christmas Eve and Christmas day (but cold)

January 2018 - Ski guests come to visit; skiing but very little new snow

February 2018 - Skiing but very little new snow

March 2018 - Skiing, including one storm day where it took H five hours to get up to Alta (for only 15" of new snow)

July 2018 - Busy! MTBing; hiking (Alta, Park City, Beaver, Great Basin National Park); volunteering at the Crusher in the Tushar; camping at Great Basin National Park
