Mountain High - Salt Lake UT

Utah has some of the best snow on earth for skiing. That's why Salt Lake City was selected to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Seven canyons snake up into the mountains from the city's edges, which means 7 ski resorts are within a snowball's toss: Alta, Brighton, Solitude, Snowbird, Park City, Deer Valley, and Wolf Mountain.
Alta definitely is The Best ski area and deserves the tremendous respect that it has garnered over the years. There's a definite magic about Alta. It has everything a skier could want.
Brighton is a hidden gem. It has a good mix of terrain with some nice black diamond runs, and also welcomes snowboarders.
Solitude offers many great trails, a fair amount of black diamond territory, and a long intermediate run which has some nice steep areas. Skiing it on a weekday means you'll never have a lift line wait.
Snowbird has lots of interesting terrain, especially for the more advanced skier.
Park City is huge. It's impossible to ski all of its excellent mix of terrain in one day.
Deer Valley is famous for its poshness and attracts people with far more money than skiing ability. However, when you're looking for interesting runs you possibly get bored quickly.
Wolf Mountain is a smaller resort with some very good runs and an interesting mix of terrain. Most of the runs are pretty challenging. Even easy and intermediate runs seem to be harder than similarly ranked slopes at neighboring resorts.
Utah has everything one could want in a ski vacation: Big mountains, gorgeous scenery and abundant dry powdery snow. Come along for a ride.

Rime covered fence

Soft rime is unbelievably beautiful and eerie, and it makes a simple walk a truly magical experience. It only happens once in a while when the conditions are perfect.
All the fences, trees and shrubs - even the weeds- coated with thick rime ice ... it looks so peaceful and makes a marvelous natural winter scene.

Window Candles Nostalgia

Christmas window candles are a traditional favorite in Christmas decorating.
Placing window candles started with the ancient Romans. During the period of winter solstice, they used to hold winter celebrations to praise the return of the sun. However, putting a candle in the window as a Christmas representation appears to be an Irish custom. Some say the candle in the window was meant as a message to the Biblical Mary and Joseph: there is room here for you and your coming child. Others say it held a similar meaning for weary travelers in general - an indication of the legendary Irish hospitality: come in and join us, there is room at our hearth for you this evening. And in the days when it was illegal to practice the Catholic faith because of Penal law, the candle in the window told traveling priests that this was a home where they were welcome and could offer the Irish Catholic Mass in safety. Irish tradition holds that after dinner on Christmas Eve, the youngest member of the household is given the honor of striking the ceremonial match and lighting the candle in the front window to bring luck to the home.
Although the custom continues, technology has changed the way it is practiced today. Now electric candle lights add a warm sparkling holiday glow and a serene, elegant look to any home. They are one of the hallmarks of the holiday season.

Santa is a gardener

Santa Claus hits crunch time soon, as he does every Christmas Eve. But I got to thinking. What's he do in the off-season? Then it occurred to me … I'll bet Santa is a gardener.
Can't you just picture good, ol' Santa in jeans, work boots and a red flannel shirt with red suspenders digging ‘Yukon Gold' potatoes for the evening stew? I can.
If Santa isn't a plantsman, why would he be honored with Santa Claus garden flags, Santa Claus garden stakes, Santa Claus garden figure lights, even a Santa Claus garden gnome made by some German company?
I'll bet Santa's doctor and Mrs. Claus have been on his case about losing some weight and lowering his cholesterol. What better way to do that than by simultaneously exercising and growing his own salads, cole crops (which also happen to be high in cancer-preventing antioxidants) and Alaska-hardy carrots, which are, as we all know, a reindeer favorite? And he surely has an ample supply of well rotted manure to work into the garden … probably a nutritious combo of reindeer and polar-bear doo-doo.
Hmmmm. Maybe it's not too late to revise my Christmas list to ask Santa to bring me one of those great big cabbages and a nice jar of North Pole kraut.
