Lone Peak is a mountain north of Highland, Utah, 11,253 feet (3,430 m) elevation. Last Saturday, our son-in-law Jon James (Gina's husband; father of four of our grandchildren) and his ski pals took five hours to reach the top (with special pads on the bottom of their skis) and only one hour to ski down. Our home is somewhere down in the valley. Yes, he carries a lot of life insurance!

Notice all of the high tech safety equipment that Jon and his pals carry with them in case of an avalanche.
