If I was still unemployed, Rasila and I committed to drive to Salt Lake City to visit my brother and his wife sometime in February. So, we made the trip last weekend.
We bought the unabridged Arctic Drift on CD at Costco for the 700 mile each way trip. We left at 5:45 AM, after a brief stop at Starbucks, we hit the road. We stopped in Barstow, CA, Las Vegas, NV, Leeds, UT, and Nephi, UT on the way up for gas, switching drivers, coffee, and lunch. We arrived at about 5:30 PM.
We spent Saturday at Alta Ski Resort, where we had a spectacular lunch at the Collins Grill. That night we went to see Coraline.
On Sunday, we went to Solitude, which has always been a favorite of mine because it lives up to it's name. It has been a few years since we were there, and they have upgraded a couple lifts and I'm a way better skier. We had a great time. Rasila was able to ski both days and we have pronounced her knee "healed enough."
Monday, we drove back, leaving at 8:00 AM with stops in Nephi, UT (I never filled with gas while in SLC), St. George, UT, and Las Vegas, NV to switch drivers, and eat lunch and we arrived back home at about 6:30 PM. It was only about $140 for gas, even in my SUV. A lot cheaper than the flight would have been with $50 each way for each set of skis, and $100 each way for Ziwi. Quick, but fun!
