The Schankers Love to Ski

Just sitting here dreaming of our weekend in Salt Lake City...we leave tomorrow afternoon! Yipee! What I love about SLC is that you have about a dozen or so places to go skiing and they are all about 35 minutes from downtown SLC. It’s just so incredibly convenient.

Anyway, I was just realizing how lucky we really are. For the last 3 years or so we have really been able to enjoy skiing at a lot of various places.

1. Zermatt – Switzerland side
2. Zermatt – Italian side
3. Breckenridge, CO
4. Alta, UT
5. The Canyons, UT
6. Mammoth, CA (we consider this our home mountain)
7. Squaw Valley, CA
8. Northstar, CA
9. Deer Valley, UT
10. Brighton, UT
11. Snowbird, UT
12. Jackson Hole, WY (coming in March 2008)

Seriously…12 places in 3 years, and that’s not including our smaller local mountains. I love the west coast!

So just have to give another great shout out to the UMD Terps! Fear the Turtle, Baby! Yeah they are now 3rd in the ACC with a win against BC on the road. Only UNC and Duke are ahead of them in the standings. Saturday is the NC State game and then a rematch against Duke on Wednesday. Oh how sweet it would be to beat the Dukies on their court!
