Snow Day fun!

We decided it was now or maybe never and spent a January Saturday up in the snow.  We checked the weather and the conditions sounded perfect for cross country skiing up at the Deer Hollow area. When we got there the parking lot was not accessible because of snow drifting, but there were some wide spots in the road that had been cleared so we decided to give it a try.  It hadn't been groomed, but there were some great ski tracks in place so we took off.  It was windy out in the open, but perfect in the trees.  It ended up being one of the least crowded and best conditions time we've had.  We skied out to the lake overlook and met some college kids out for their first time and took pictures for each other.  When we finished up we still had quite a bit of day left and after missing a turn we planned to take we decided to go over and see the snow at Bryce Canyon.  We thought about skiing there too, but it was not a good time there, so we just walked and enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while and then headed home...and just in time.  A storm was coming up and we had some snow flurries on our way back home, but made it safe and sound.  What a lovely snow day it was!
