Spring in Park City

By early March warmer Spring temperatures had returned and, sadly, I pretty much put away the skis for the season. Then suddenly we got a foot of snow on March 9-10th. So I put on the skis I took one last trek for the season up the Spring/Upper/Lower Meeks trail. Here are some pictures:

 Up the Upper Meeks trail (a real fun traverse up and down on my skis)

I decided to go back down this way, since no one had gone that way in a long while. Pioneering down was fun, but I made a bad turn and ended up trapped in some thickets (but it all ended well).

The warm weather then returned and the snow continued to melt away. So the skis were put up again.
Then we got another surprise Spring snow storm on the 16th. So one more last trip for the season. Here's some pictures.

This now is the view this afternoon from the back of the house. The skis are put away and now we on the other adventures, such as the one below.

Those are moose tracks on the trail up Ecker Hill. I actually had a"moose encounter" a little ways further up the trail. Although I think it was a yearling female, it was shaggy from a probably a rough winter and didn't seem to be in particularly good mood - I took a different way. If you look closely you can see her on the horizon in the middle of this photo below.
