What better way to spend our special day than to head up to the mountains? For our anniversary, we got a room at Snowbird Ski Resort. It was so nice to get out of the city and enjoy a little of the outdoors for a change! Our mini "staycation" was the perfect combination of play and romance tied into one! There is so much to do up there, but at the same time, it was also nice to not do anything but just take in the scenery and fresh air! The nice man at check in upgraded our room (free of charge!) to a pseudo-suite with it's own balcony so that we could do just that. During the day, we rode the zip line, the alpine slides, the tram and the ski lift. The view from the top of the mountain at 11,000 ft. is incredible! In the evening, we had a delicious dinner at one of the many restaurants then rested our tired bones in the hot tub. We had the whole pool and patio area to ourselves so we could just sit and watch the stars in peace and quiet! We had such a great time and are so grateful to my mom and dad for taking such great care of Emerson while we were away!
Here is a view of our hotel. I love the combination of rustic wood, concrete and steel in their buildings! So modern and so very cool!
The view from our room and balcony!
Alpine Slide!
I am trying to catch up to Wes on this thing but he's just too fast!
Wes laid down the rules before take off: "No brakes!"
The valley was so hazy from all the wildfires and smog.
I thought we would be able to escape it, but no.
Our hotel looks so tiny from the Peruvian chair lift
The tram takes you to the top of Mineral Basin. The snowboarding bug bit us as we looked over the edge!
The Peruvian Tunnel is complete! A 600 ft. tunnel was made so that skiers and snowboarders had access to more of the mountain. To make it even cooler, they installed a moving walkway inside!
The infamous zip line tower! It looks much more intimidating than it really is! This ride was an absolute blast! See Below!:

I always forget about the fun local stuff! Great job on keeping it local and using less gas!
How fun!!!! I LOVE that place! The video of the zipline was totally fun to watch.
Yay! That sounds so fun! Eric and I are about due for a romantic get away!Its so hard to leave our little guy though. I bet he is all you guys talked about while you were gone. That is totally how it is for eric and I any time we are away. Glad you guys got to have such a fun time. Lets go to the cabin this week:)
I want to do the zip line. I only worry about the stop at the end. Can my bad leg handle it? It looked so fun and the view looks so pretty.
Mom
I have never been there, can you believe that? I totally want to do that zip line!!!! Congrats on the anniversary! See ya this weekend. I heard that Emerson was nothing but naughty and poorly behaved for mom as usual.
