Okay, skiing after this more
It’s likely that you’ve gone to battle before or at the least you’ve tried the evasion tactic on occasion. If none of the above like me you’ve chanced it and risked the ticket or a scolding at the least.
I’m talking about the at the passenger pick up area of the Salt Lake Airport. We’ve all been there, 5mph, no parking, no leaving your vehicle, no, no, no.
On my most recent visit to the airport to pick up a friend my experience was so much more pleasant. This was in thanks to the new (it’s new to me) park and wait lot. more

What an awesome way to end the season! Pond skimming, slush skiing, and chutes defined by bushes. Doesn’t get much better than that!
People think we’re strange here in Utah. Heck (preferred Utah word), people think we’re strange in the United States. I mean, who are we kidding, were wierd.
Alas, we are who we are. A mix of a hundred cultures, with all sorts of different quirks and cultural differences. To that end the Travel Channel has a series called “Lawrence of America” where Lawrence travels the U.S. learning different trades and traditions. In the upcoming episode, to air this coming Monday June 30th, features Lawrence in Park City, Utah learning about the winter Olympic sports and giving them a try. You can see a piece of the episode on the Travel Channel’s Lawrence page, click the video screen just right of center. In this clip, you get a look at what ski athletes do for summer training. more

Camera was a bit jittery on this go through due to some chunky snow conditions. I decided to keep it short to avoid repetitive shots. Working on a better mounting technique to minimize the shake.
