It was snowing when we left, but the only slightly challenging driving was across Wyoming, where the wind is always blowing. And blowing snow across the highway in winter.
We skied Snowbasin and Powder Mountain.
Snowbasin was busier and more groomed. The Olympic downhills were held at Snowbasin in 2002. Paul and Ben skied the men's and women's downhill runs. Girl of the House and I took it a bit easier.
Powder Mountain was wonderfully wild and snowy. They leave more of their runs ungroomed, and there was fresh powder.
Here's Paul and GotH at Powder Mountain. We three skied together. Ben and Harlan skied more challenging stuff.
Coleen stayed back at the condo and snowshoed for more than 2 hours, taking fabulous pictures. (She's extraordinarily talented! Go see her photos here - Little C Creations)
The temp stayed around 0 the day we were at Powder Mountain. Ben got very frosty.
It finished out at 45 inches by 48 inches. I left out the centermost blocks, as I could see I would run short of yarn. It weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces, so it's not light. It is cushy, drapey, and heavy. I love it!
On the way home, I finished Paul's Cobblestone pullover. (Well, I didn't do the underarm grafting in the car.) It fits great! Now, just to block it and graft those last little seams.
It was a great pattern to knit, very clear and easy instructions. I made the 43" size, and used approx 1200 yards of the Harrisville Highland yarn. The Highland knit to gauge on size 7 needles.
