**snow** *post*

A few majestic snow pictures before we get too far away from winter and my trip home and they entirely lose their relevance. The snowy mountains are, by far, my favourite thing about Utah... these were all taken at Sundance - the ski resort on the backside of the mountain where I grew up. Enjoy!


I almost died on this run once!


Snowboards overlooking my valley.


Dining, literally, on the edge of the world.


Frozen cascades of waterfalls.



Kasey and my Dad - at the summit.


Field of poles.



Taken in a brief pause before traversing the darkened woods.


And here's the Wasatch Mountain range from above... as seen from the plane on my way back to London.



But what to wondering eyes should appear! Lo and behold, the day I arrive in London, there was a Utah-worthy blanket of snow awaiting me; black cabs were slipping around on the icy streets... and I saw people clearing off their walks with garden shovels - Londoners are woefully prepared for snow!


Nevertheless, every London household didn't miss their once-in-a-lifetime chance to make snowmen! The quickly-melting, well-dressed, mounds were everywhere!

Back in London now (witness the snowman remnants of our freakish snowstorm!) And I'm harried and homeless (again!) Going on week 2 of living under the roofs and good graces of friends as I'm reminded what hell trying to find a clean/modern/well-located flat can be; the places some people acceptably call "home" can be downright horrifying... and depressingly so.

Oh that the endless ugly flat roaming was only half as scenic as these pics from home.


I'd even settle for the "ignore the power lines" versions of the roadside scenery!


Cross your fingers that I don't have to reduce my standards to "slum" and that someone with a decent flat will take me in soon!
