USA

Today we went snowboarding again. Wendy's still sick so she wasn't able to come. We managed a fair few runs, we're both getting faster and more confident. We still take the Gondola home and I've only made it once off the ski lift without falling over. So far we've seen 6 people come off the mountain injured. The worst was a skiier today who had a neckbrace and oxygen mask. It makes Rowan and I both less inclined to push our limits, at least for a little while longer.
Rowan and I swam at the WestGate Resort tonight and had a spa. Almost lost his camera! Dinner was a dissapointing Taco Bells. A visit to Wallmart and now its time for bed. Exhausted!

The last two days (Saturday and Sunday) have been R&R days for Rowan and I. Sore and aching from our first snowboarding lesson, we decided to rest up before tackling the slopes again. We can both barely move, it's like we're an old couple with arthirits. We did this to ourselves?
Saturday Andreas took to the slopes whilst Rowan, Wendy and I headed to the shops. At WestGate Rowan and I got suited up with our own boards, boots and bindings. Rowans a mixed bag whilst I'm a Burton girl. After that we did more voucher spending at the WestGate Pavillion Spa (we also had to take my board to the repair shop for a minor scratch).
On Sunday (NYE), Rowan and I went for a walk around Park City and headed to Bath&Beyond, Smiths and Wendys (not the same as Wendys in Australia.. Wendys in America does fast-food like McDonalds). We all headed back to WestGate to pick up my board and booked in at the Grill for dinner. The dinner was a disappointment, especially with the $85pp price tag. Rowan played it safe with Ravioli whilst I tempted fate with Elk meat. Ended up tasting like Cow. NYE was quiet - Rowan and I watched the countdown at Times Square in NY and then stayed up past midnight watching Trash TV.

Today Andreas, Rowan and I headed back to the slopes to try out our new gear. Conditions weren't the best with the lack of snow fall, but we had 4-5 good runs and were doing great by the end of the day. Will most likely go up again tomorrow.

Had our very first Snowboarding lessing today. It was much harder than I expected at the start. At one point my hopes of becoming a pro-snowboarding were quickly diminishing when I just couldn't get the rental board to go toeside. I was frustrated, tired and about to throw in the towel. Rowan however was doing astoundingly well, a natural. When we finally hit the slopes I enjoyed it way more and now am hooked. I could do it all year round. Heaps of falls and my coxic bone is definatley bruised and kills to sit down on.

We're gunna be sore tomorrow.
Definately need to go for a spa tonight!

Today was snowgear day again. More shopping to get the rest of our snowgear all sorted out. Tomorrow Rowan and I are having our first lessons. Excitedly-scared, should be awesome. I cannot wait.
Rowan, Wendy & I drove down to Provo where I finally got my Abercrombie & Fitch jacket (and in brown too). Rowan paid for it as my Christmas present, stoked.
We had lunch with Dustin and Zoe (who clean the Condo between other people staying there throughout the year), and looked in BodyWorks. Andreas went skiing all day and had a blast. We hung out in the front foyer of the WestGate Resort where it was free cheese, crackers, meatballs and drinks. Dinner tonight is pizza being delivered by Dustin and Zoe (going to put on so much weight).

Can't wait for tomorrow. Should be funny.

Went to the WestGate Resort today, just up the road from the Condo. Ate free popcorn, hotdogs and apple juice until we couldn't eat no more. Had a look around the place and went on the chairlift that the commoners have to use to get from the public car-park up to The Canyons. Was absolutely freezing on the chairlift which was more of a standlift if you ask me. We also saw the display room for the room that Wendy and Andreas have bought sole ownership of at the WestGate Resort. Should be finished by next year.
Lots of shopping again today although no luck with the Abercrombie and Fitch jacket I'd seen on the net. Going to drive to Provo tomorrow and try the store there. Most likely, going to have to get cream (wanting brown).
Rowan and I got to pick out our snowgear tonight, can't wait to try snowboarding. Next week we're going on snow mobiles hopefully. Should be awesome.

It snowed today too which was cool as. Really heavy at one point. Rowan threw a snowball at Wendy and hit her in the face, went all down her top. Made me laugh.
