Went skiing today up at Brighton. Wasn't completely impressed the slopes looks more like moguls. But then again Brighton does really sell itself mainly to the snowboarders. Bleeh. Well at least I had an enjoyable first day of the ski season. Snowbasin is still now open. I will see if Lindsay can swing me a few tickets to Deer Valley. At least bloody snowboarding is not allowed there (to hoity-toity celeb-lovin' nouveau riche). Lindsay said she saw Lisa Kudrow there last year.
I went for a walk up City Creek Canyon yesterday. I was determined to conquer it. Man vs Nature. And man won! Well I won by walking to the very end of it for the first time (after coming close once). It took me three hours to hike it (well since it was well paved, hiking wasn't that difficult). It was all snowy and cold up at the end, even though there hasn't been snow on the valley floor for a week now.
The only problem was started to late in the day, and barely half way back it started to get dark. And of course since I was in a canyon, it got dark really fast.
I was listeing to my discman after it had gotten dark and all of a sudden I heard some big 'maaaaawwww'. I nearly shit myself. It turned out in the end the sound was actually on the CD (when I got back to civilization and replayed the track just to make sure). But I thought it was some moose wanting to stamp on my body and leave me a bloody pulp!
I was actually a little worried that I could be asconded by all sorts of wild and nasty creatures, moose, bobcats, cougars, homeless people. It was freaky. Actually when I got out of the Canyon I decided not to take the shorter way back to civilization though Memory Grove (to many homeless people and who knows what other creatures), but climb up the road to Capital Hill, and lord was it a climb! Even though there is a very wide footpath/biketrack on the road (they converted it to a one-way street years ago and the wrong way became a footpath/biketrack), still. When I came out at the Capitol Building I was somewhat relieved.
