We turned up the winding canyon road and our excitement mounted with every foot of elevation we climbed. We turned off the main rode and drove the last few hundred feet up a dirt road to the very top of Powder Mountain Ski Resort. We crested the final hill and were in awe of the view that…
Pre-travel I worked as a professional wedding and lifestyle family photographer. About twice a year I would attend a conference or a workshop for personal and business development. These ranged from 1 day local seminars to weekend long retreats where I would board a plane and travel to wherever the workshop was located. I loved…
When we first started out in the Airstream it became very clear to us that our kids still needed to do chores. In our sticks and bricks they would vacuum, clean bathroom counters and mirrors, load and unload the dishwasher and help sweep. Putting the silverware away can be done by a 3 year old…

Way to rally after a crummy night’s sleep – that takes some moxie! As does willingly going to a foam-rolling class. Love this review & the summit looks like fun! Thanks for posting!
lol! Thanks!
Thanks for posting the review! I love a photo heavy post! It looks like you had an awesome time even though the first night was a bit rough. How cold did it get that first night?

You know, my phone said it was only 40 or so, and I have a 32 degree down bag but that wind chill was unreal. They are making modifications for next year and absolutely I’m planning on going!
I have a lot of respect for anyone who can make wise decisions after sleep deprivation. Way to go!
lol! Thanks Nate!
