Just Me and Amanda sitting halfway up Alta laughing about our situation in part from what i determined to be Hypoxia due to the purple discoloration around the eyes and fingernails. Hypoxia was hilarious. Toughest run we did was only a blue but limited visibility at the top and pellet snow kept us mid mountain most of the day. Still, I would not have missed it for the world.

These are a few more pics of the Moab Utah region. Notice that the layers of sediment and the way the rocks have so naturally been carved out over the hundreds of millions of years. It was like driving in a spaghetti western film. The overwhelming color of the natural landscape was incredible. Sadly, I dont think my phone camera can capture the accurate coloring of the actual thing. Still takes pretty good pictures for a phone though.

This was from our trip segment taking us through utah's Moab area and a little south of there where we saw this 300 foot tall beehive looking stone. It was enourmous and had a hole like a garage in the vey bottom front of it to make it look like the state Beehive sign logo. Very interesting,but apparently no correlation. I plan on hiking Moab and camping next summer as it was an unbelieveable area with incredible natural wonders unlike any I have ever seen on earth. Natural bridge arches and hexagonal organ pipes of stone coulmning into the sky are just a few of the local attractions. Cant believe I have never seen this before.

From Telluride to Alta, this has just been a lot of winter. I am enjoying every minute of it as it wont last long for me once in Mexico. Great opprotunity is often all around you. It just helps to take a chance and have a blast.

Skiing in Alta Utah today with my friend Amanda. Weater was les than perfect but the snow was pretty great. A hell of a day. Legs killing me and very exhausted. I hope I get one more shot at this hill next tuesday. Utah is not what I expected as far as having fun. Salt Lake City is crazy fun. Filled with very interesting people and almost considered the second sin city, according to the Helper.. Will Update more soon. Also, as an interesting side bar, on the corner of 3900e and 2oos is the first ever Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whod have thunk! Best chicken ever though.
