Snowmobiling!

Rod is always coming up with fun ways to make memories with the kids and they love it! 
With all the snow we got this year, he wanted to rent snowmobiles and take the kids out for the day. 
The original plan was to rent some from a private renter off of KSL. He turned out to be a druggie. 😂
He couldn't get the snowmobiles to work for the life of him. 
After a good amount of time, Rod told him to just give us a refund. It was a fiasco!
We didn't want to waste the whole day, so we drove up to Ogden and rented from a place there. It was a whole lot more expensive, but ended up being a great decision!
We were able to snowmobile to Hardware Ranch to see the elk herd, which was so fun to see! The trail and terrain were gorgeous!
You can see just how much snow there was - and this was in March!






















Camryn and Brantson rode one snowmobile, Jake and Carsyn rode another, Tyleigh and Rod shared one, and I drove my own. We had a few learning curves, but overall, everyone did a great job and we had a blast together! A blizzard hit pretty good toward the end of the ride!

Bridal Veil Falls Avalanche

We have had an insane amount of snow this winter - record breaking amounts!
There was a huge avalanche at Bridal Veil Falls on January 10, and Rod and I decided to go check out the damage a few weeks later.

Such a beautiful day up the canyon!

This is the "end" of the avalanche.  It was like concrete. Seeing this in person helped me to better understand why so many people don't survive avalanches. You could see rocks, branches, and even some small trees in this massive pile of snow. It wouldn't take much to get beat to death by the debri, let alone being buried in the snow!

The icicles in place of the falls were such a different type of beauty. 


You can see the people behind Rod climbing more of the avalanche debri. It was huge.


More angles of how the snow "spilled" down the mountain. 


Our friends went up in the Spring to see if there was still damage - the snow was mostly melted, but there was still so much debri left behind!
