Christopher Burgon Valentine, MD goes snowboarding!

Dad and oldest son Chris invaded Brighton in Big Cottonwood Canyon again last Saturday. Dad continued (second time on skis) to learn to turn on the "Explorer" hill (sounds better than kiddy hill) with a great instructor while Chris took off on the big runs. Dad's last run was down a grownup hill. Brighton closes for the season on April 20, so we may have a couple more chances. It continues to snow in the Wasatch mountains and a couple of times this week in the valley. It has been a long and very cold winter with lots of snowpack in the mountains for plenty of water this summer. Let's pray it doesn't melt too fast!
