SNOWY RANGE SKI RESORT, LARAMIE. WYOMING. USA. MARCH 23, 2023

No better way to capture our last month of winter sports than spending it in what has bean the MAJOR theme, snow. Our swing through Arizona, Utah and now wrapping up in Wyoming, most places we’ve visited have had in most counts all time record snowfall. Many places at the sixty, seventy foot count…and counting… (As I write this already two weeks back in Ontario, some places since we left received another six, seven feet)

Kinda steep

and kinda deep

(enough for me)

What a fun place. Just a little under an hour out of Laramie.

Couple of fixed gripped lifts, but hey,

time to rest.

I'm buying into the "Rawhide", "Virginian",....

    

No better way to wrap up this portion of the program.

 

BEAVER MOUNTAIN, UTAH. USA

What a way to start wrapping up things before heading home. We’ve started heading east and just before leaving Utah and into Wyoming we’ve stopped at Beaver Mountain Resort. The loads of fresh snow, blue sky, friendly folk gives one ample opportunity on the “Old school” lifts to take it all in. 

Beaver Mountain will be our seventh mountain we've visited since starting out at Arizona Snowbowl.

We will tap out at eight, missing our scheduled nine after having to earlier scratch Eagle Mountain because of.....................

too much snow. 

MY FAV LIFTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No reason why they don`t have the fun and friendly down pat as Beaver Mountain resort is the oldest family owned ski hill in the USA. Who wouldn’t want to ski at a place that was started in the 40`s by some Swiss dude named Seeholzer.

Snow everywhere.

Pretty much a record snowfall in all of Utah.

Some resorts hitting seven hundred plus inches.

(and counting)

CHERRY PEAK RESORT, UTAH. USA

We’ve gone from one of the largest Ski resorts in North America to one of the smallest in Utah. Small in size but big in personality of a hill for the locals. 

I’ve tried to avoid skiing on weekends but took a chance on a Sunday at Cherry Peak. Glad we did. What it lacked in lifts and all was easily made up in it being just a fun three hours of sliding around. 

Almost wished there were a few more people here to share some lifts stories.

Kate found some great snowshoeing in the adjoining valley.

Crazy how far you can see,

snow.

Idaho in the distance.

Felt like I had my own personal Lifty.
