Deer Valley Heaven

Last week I spent 3 days in Deer Valley skiing with my friends and colleges from St. Louis, and a dear friend from Utah. This video was taken on day two with my old digital camera going down Mt. Baldy. I still apparently don't know that it is actually 2009! In the video you first see Christian Bankhead, then in white, Justin Firth, then Christian tries to cover Brent Bankhead (his dad) with snow, then at the end you see John Firth ahead in brown.

It was absolutely beautiful!

I recently read about a man who planned for years to see the pyramids in Egypt. When finally was standning in front of the pyramids, he was thinking about dinner plans with friends that night, and 'missed' the pyramids. With that in mind, I took a lot of time to make sure I was fully there to experience the incredible beauty of the mountains, and to stay fully present while I was with my friend. It was unusually wonderful, as if someone had added color to a previously black and white monitor. It felt so REAL - I can't tell you how badly I needed both experiences.
