A Day in the Snow!

Last Saturday Calogero and I headed up to Solitude Nordic Center with the Browns for a day of XC Skiing and Snowshoeing. We are all totally virgins to both of these activities so I was excited to give them a try.
XC is fun, great exercise, and requires a lot of balance (trust me I have the bruise to prove it). You should totally give it a try but take a lesson it is not as easy as it looks. Those ski's are freaking skinny.
Snowshoeing is super easy no lessons needed but beware of the super deep powder I went down chest deep a couple of times when we were trying to take some short cuts. Calogero was there to pull me out thank God; because with no strength from laughing hysterically I would have been so stuck.
I was so focused on learning how to XC Ski I totally forgot to take pics so here are some of us snowshoeing. Isn't Utah just beautiful.

What a fun day in the snow! My hubby just got snowshoes so he can go hiking in the mountains behind our house... he'll be going alone though, 'cause I'm lame and hate being out in the cold!
