James received two gold points at Backcountry this month. The first was a recognition for James' hard work getting the receiving area organized and the second was for being nominated for Employee of the Month (Another guy was EotM, but James was the nominee from receiving!).
Gold points are good for checking out the Ski Utah passes - which are essentially a season pass good at any Utah resort. We decided to take a Friday off of work, and go skiing at Snowbasin, compliments of James' gold points. Thank you James!
The timing was perfect. Uncle Doug and family were in town for spring break. We took Michael with us and U.Doug met us at the resort. It was a beautiful day for James' first attempt at a front flip on skis! (flip: success. landing: on his butt. see video below.)
Five pair of skis for three skiers.
