Looking for snow!

Hannah didn't have school today so we headed out for the hills! We wanted to get at least one more day of sledding in before we head to Texas (warm weather here we come!) It's been kind of warm the last few days (for winter in Utah anyway) and our normal parks don't have much snow on the hills anymore so we went up the canyon looking for snow. We were told there was great sledding up Trappers loop so we loaded up and headed off! When we got to Pineview we saw some parachutes over the water/ice so we stopped to see what was going on. When we got out of the car we saw two people para-skiing across the ice. We watched them for a while...it was really cool! Hannah and Wynnie told me that they wanted to try...I told them we would have to wait and see!


We headed back up the loop and found lots of snow, but no place where people were sledding so we headed back to the park in North Ogden that we went to last week. The hills we were on last week were now grass but the big hills on the east still had snow so we got to get our sledding in (finally!) We had fun...there was only one wipeout!
Here's a video of the para-skiers...really cool...we may just have to try this out someday!

Here's a picture of the wipeout...

Looks like fun!! Call us and we could meet you at the "hill". Glad no-one got hurt in the wipeout, great video though.

We'll give you a call next time we go...hopefully we will be able to still get some sledding in before spring!
