Arrived in Utah yesterday, April 11th and without much hassle rented a strangely russet orange colored chevy economy-class car from one of the usual car rental suspects. Drove outta the airport south to meet up with a local pilot and my local contact, Ken Hudonjorgensen of TwoCanFly.
After meeting Ken and having a quick bite to eat to quell my complaining stomach, we drove up to Snowbird with the intention of taking the tram to the top and running off the mountain with another visiting pilot. I quickly surmised that my jet-lagged condition was no good for piloting my paraglider in unfamiliar snowy terrain, so I ended up choosing not to fly. So I simply took the scenic tram ride and enjoyed watching the high-mountain takeoffs.
I ended the day at Point. Did some kiting practice on the South Side in prefrontal wind.
Today after a morning where the mercury registered 38F, I've found a nice coffee shop with free Wi-fi Internet access and similar ambience to Maui Coffee Roasters!
Remind me to get a cheap digital camera...
