We're on our way!

Greetings all,
We are on our way to Utah tomorrow so wanted to give one more update on the blog.  It's still snowing out there.  6" at Deer Valley yesterday, and potentially another 3-6 tomorrow through Saturday.  Alta, Snowbird, and Solitude had 7" yesterday and could have up to 10 more by Saturday.  Woo Hoo!!!
While this weekend's snow may be the last for the week, hopefully some of our secret stashes will keep some powder for everyone to enjoy.  Don't worry, as Jack's Bar Mitzvah guests, you all will have access to some of our favorite runs.
The weather overall for the week looks excellent.  Snow coming to an end on Sunday, pretty cold on Monday (high of 30) and then upper 30's to mid 40's with mostly sunshine for the rest of the week. 

Here are a few other tips and reminders:
We'll be starting our days out early, usually heading up the mountain at 9:00 and doing a few runs on the front side to warm up.  Catch us out there as you drop the kids off at ski school for the day.

Lunch for us at Deer Valley is always going to be at either Silver Lake or Empire Lodge-the Turkey Chili is not to be missed!!  Stay in touch via text message to meet up for lunch.

We have a back room set aside at Main Street Pizza and Noodle Company on Thursday night for dinner for whomever would like to come.  Thinking about potentially going tubing after skiing before dinner.  We'll get the word out if we do.

Don't forget on Friday we are road tripping to either Solitude or Snowbird (probably Solitude).  Either is about a 45minute-1 hour drive from Deer Valley but well worth it.  Both a true taste of big mountain skiing with spectacular scenery.  Anyone is welcome to join us.

HERE IS THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
For the Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, if you have not yet done so, please let us know if you will be skiing or taking the shuttle (if you are staying at the Montage, the Bar Mitzvah is just a short walk next door to Empire Lodge).  If you are going to take the shuttle, you can meet it at Snow Park Lodge at 8:45.  This is also where those who are skiing to the service will begin.  We recommend being ready to get on the lift by 8:45 (lifts technically open at 9:00 but we may be able to start early).   Also, remember the service will be outside so dress appropriately. 
Directions to the service if skiing (not to worry if you're a beginner, it's Green runs the whole way there)  :

• From Snow Park Base take the Carpenter lift up.
• Take a short run on Silver Link and Trainer. These runs are never labeled-just ski away from Carpenter towards the back side of the mountain and  hang a right at the bottom of the first section-heading towards Silver Lake Lodge and to the Quincy Express Lift.
• Take the Quincy Express Lift to the top.
• Ski to Empire Lodge via the Bandana ski run.  Follow the signs to Empire Lodge (if you see a trail for Lucky Jack off of Bandana, that will get you there too!).  Service begins at the Empire Lodge at 9:30 AM.  There will be a lite kiddush brunch after the service before we head back out on the slopes
• .Here is an interactive trail map so you can see where you'll be headed

The party continues that night at the Wasatch Brew Pub on Main Street at 7:00.  Dress is very casual.  Ski town chic (JEANS!!).
Can't wait to see you all out there!  Happy Passover and Pray for Snow!
Love,
Ken, Ang, Jack, and Sam
