Yesterday there was this weather phenomenon known as an inversion. I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty science of it but basically it means that it's cold and foggy at the bottom of the mountain and then suddenly, about half of the way up, it becomes clearer and warmer. And it was so cold down the bottom, the fog was freezing mid-air and do you know what effect this gave? A sparkly one! Hehe... it was so cool. The air was glittery!!!!
Some of the views from above the inversion were incredible! It was like there was a white blanket across the whole valley!
We skied mostly up high so we could actually see.
After we skied we had to take our skis and boots back to the apartment (in case you don't remember, we'd been leaving them at the locker) because the next day we were going to Grand Targhee ski resort for a day.
Then, after a little relaxing, we got ready to hit the buses to head over to the Snow King Recreation Centre Ice Rink. See, dad and I had been missing the ice hockey experience so we had decided to go cheer on the Jackson Hole Moose. The Moose were a couple of levels below the Kamloops Blazers so the rink, food and general experience quality was a little lower but a game's a game, right? However, it wasn't quite as exciting and there were a lot more penalties to each quarter so each quarter seemed to move a whole lot slower. We ended up only staying for one quarter because in that one quarter we got all we needed- some smashes, a major fight (layers were stripped off), some goals and some organ music. Plus- it was really really cold. Once we got back we pretty much went straight to sleep.
Hehe... the air was still sparkly.
