Park City Day 4

We had another banner day at Park City on Day 4 of our little spring break vacation.  The weather was perfect--beautiful sun, warm, and not too crowded.  The only thing missing was some new powder, but conditions were wonderful as they were.  We got to the lifts when they opened and took the time to take this first picture.
We weren't planning on skiing too much today, but we ended up doing over 13,000 vertical feet.  We headed over to the Canyons part of the mountain.  There are some incredible homes there--we looked them up after we skied and saw one in particular will rent for $10,000 per night.  Yikes.  There weren't too many people, and the views were spectacular.
We skied a few runs over in the Canyons.  There is a whole part of the mountain we didn't even get to--maybe next year!  We did take a photo before we headed back to the Park City side.
We finished up with a couple black diamond runs.  Bode and I did "the Glory Hole," which is just an awful name :-)  We then headed over to Erika's Gold and finished up.  I like the picture below because it looks like Bode is going off a cliff :-)
All told, we skied over 34,000 vertical feet in three days--we know this isn't record territory for the ski-freaks, but we are thrilled with how much we were able to ski.  Afterwards, we fine-dined at Subway, and then we sat in the hot-tub.
I was a little disappointed in Ashley.  A couple days ago, there was this 20-something girl that was in the hot-tub...she was in a thong, which just didn't seem like a good choice.  Still, if thongs were acceptable, I told Ashley she should put hers on.  I guess she simply forgot to pack it :-)  Bode and I were brave enough to swim in the pool.
We did get some professional photos taken atop the mountain--I'll try to publish when they are posted.  We'll probably get to sleep early tonight, as all of our legs feel like jelly :-)
