Weekend at Snowbird

We stayed at Snowbird Saturday night.  It was pretty fun.  We got up there around noon on Saturday.  We just hung around in the room and at about four we decided to take Cache to the hot tub.  We were kicking ourselves for not bringing our camera, so forgive the no pictures post!  Cache wore Kevin's giant purple beanie.  He looked so stinkin' cute.  He loved the hot tub!  It was around 5 or 10 degrees so we tried to keep his shoulders warm.  He figured out that if he sat on the second step down, the water came all the way up to his chin, and he was warm.  He had a great time, and we had a great time marveling at our cute little boy.  The next morning we got up early and Kevin headed to the tram line.  He was fourth in line.  On his first run, he lost his iPhone!  It jumped out of his pocket on the Cirque Traverse! (At the very top!)  So, after one run he came back to the room, pretty bummed out.  Cache and I already had cabin fever and I was all packed up and ready to go.  Kevin was pretty mad about his phone, so we decided to head home.  On the way down the canyon I got a call.  It was Kevin's phone calling me!  A girl had found his phone on the mountain!  It worked fine, and we were pretty amazed.  So, when we got home, Kevin loaded up his truck to head back up and meet the gal that had his phone.  It all turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  At 12:30 an avalanche came down, inbounds, on High Baldy.  An area Kevin often visits.  One girl got buried for over an hour.  The probe line of people was quite a sight to see on the news last night.  Thankfully they DID find her.  Unfortunately, she died at the hospital at 5 o'clock last night.  We are pretty sad today.  It hits pretty close to home when it happens on your home mountain, inbounds, and your friends were the searchers.  Our prayers are with her family.
