Welcome to our March edition of
Tales of the Traveling Totes,
where twelve of us galavant off to
anywhere and everywhere.
My bags are packed!
Actually my bag has stayed packed and
will for most of January-March as
we head out almost every weekend.
I bet you can guess by what Miss Madi K is
carrying where we are off to, and what we will
be doing.
This is taken from my back deck and the
arrow points between the two mountains
where the canyon road goes up to Sundance.
Sundance Mountain Resort started having
Alpine skiing in 1944, and Robert Redford
purchased it in 1968. It spans 5,000 acres
on the back side of Mount Timpanogos.
We see the front side of
Mount Timpanogos from
our back yard.
This is a picture on a pretty day.
We have had record snows this year, so
skiing is great. This was a controlled
snow slide (meaning the County caused it)
that blocked the canyon road for two days.
I just read that we got an additional 14 inches
in the last 24 hours up at Sundance.
I brought along some MacKenzie-Childs
to show off the snow!
We look right out at the ski run.
The snow has been right up to
the deck railing twice this year.
But we can stay warm on the inside with
a nice hot chocolate,
or just stay warm inside!
Miss Madi K and I prefer inside,
by the fire.
Sundance is only fifteen minutes up
the canyon from us, but if we keep going
for about another thirty minutes,
we arrive in Park City, which has another
three ski resorts.
They helped host the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Park City started out in the 1800's as a silver
mining town, and is very upscale and trendy,
but it has kept its quaint, old-west
flavor on Main Street.

We like to run up from Sundance for
dining and shopping once in a while.
These cute booths were in Whole Foods -
they look like ski lifts!
We also like to stop in for dining
in Midway and Heber. Both are
on the way up the canyon, and have
great restaurants.
So as long as it keeps snowing, this is
where you might find us on weekends,
skiing, drinking hot chocolate and eating bon bons!
Now on to the fun giveaway!!!
Aren't these MC's bunny candles so
adorable?!! Visit Cherry Kay and Carrie
Ann Hall and leave a comment to have
a chance to win them. Good Luck!
We hope there is no snow by the
late Easter this year - maybe the grass
will be green and beautiful for our
Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Take a few minutes to visit the other
ladies who have been off traveling
with their totes. I love reading about the
places they have been - often places I have
never heard of.
