Read about how our long weekend started by clicking on the link below: Long Weekend to Ski Powder Mountain: Part 1 Powder Mountain made its way to the top of Keith’s skiing wishlist and all for good reasons. It was so fun to finally be skiing this mountain we had been hearing so much about. First, the size is just …
Several resorts are located within an hour of our home, but there are two resorts just a little further north that we wanted to ski this season. Last winter we took a day trip to Snowbasin Resort, which is about 1.5 hours from our house. The pampering of the luxury resort combined with the epic terrain made it easy to …
Keith and I are always creating lists of the places we want to go and the things we want to do. It’s fun to learn about new places and add it to our lists. Like most lists I make, the “to-do’s” continually out number the ”done’s.” It does get a little complicated when trying to plan because we want …

We have been wanting to visit the Ice Castles in Midway, Utah since we first got a glimpse of this magical place! That was over two years ago during our first winter in Utah. We missed it that year simply because we didn’t know the timing of the event. Last year we missed it because the winter season started off …
As soon as Keith heard about the DJI Osmo Pocket he couldn’t stop telling me about it. The hype surrounding this video camera seemed too good to be true. A powerful camera WITH an integrated GIMBAL that FITS IN the palm of your HAND and can be carried in your pocket?? WHAT?? This is something that I didn’t even know …
The GoPro Hero 7 Black was released in July 2018, but we just recently decided to upgrade. We’ve had our GoPro Hero 5 Black for a couple years now and that was the first GoPro we have ever owned. We bought the GoPro because we wanted to be able to film hiking, skiing, biking, swimming, etc. since we moved to …
