2009 Review
Surprise, Surprise, much of 2010 revolved around skiing!
Solitude - January 2, 2010 - Celebrating New Years 2010 on the slopes.
Brighton - February 13, 2010 We got to meet Brian's new Valentine - Tiffany
Lake Tahoe Ski Trip - March 6-14, 2010 - We visited James' Aunt Laura and Uncle Rod and we skied at Squaw Valley, Homewood, Sierra at Tahoe and Kirkwood. We also went to a Spanish session at the Reno Temple.
Elk Meadows Hiking for Turns - March 27, 2010 - with Anchorage Dan. Elk Meadows reopened for the 2010/2011 season - renamed: Eagle Point. Our 2011 resolutions include a trip to ski at Eagle Point.
Brighton Hiking for Turns - May 1, 2010 - We house-sat for some friends who live at Brighton. We got several feet of new snow. The resort was closed, but we did a little exploring. James on skis, me on snowshoes.
Solitude - November 20, 2010 - Thanksgiving with Kathleen and lots of new snow
Solitude - December 11, 2010 - Brian's bachelor party!
There were other fun outdoor explorations in Utah:
Moab / Arches National Park - April 9-11, 2010 - with Kathleen and Brian
Grey Cliff Springs 4WD Adventure - May 22, 2010 - with Craig and Uncle Glen. Didn't get to see Old Ephraims Grave. Put that on the 2011 Resolutions List too!
Miller Motorsports Park - Several Times - This is James and Brian - facing off before their go-cart race. We also went with Tiffany and Brian and with our friends the Elexpurus. A fun way to spend the day!
Heber Mountain via Bike - June 26, 2010 - We explored a stretch of Utah Highway 35 and took the moutnain bikes along. Riding up isn't much fun, the bike got tired and I had to push it up the last bit, but riding back down was fantastic!
Cemetery Hopping - June 4, 2010 - Mom came for a long weekend especially to go to local cemeteries with Grandma and Granddad Price. We also fit in some hiking and a baby shower for my cousin Amy.
Lake Blanche - August 14, 2010 - This was the toughest hike I went on all summer. Luckily it wasn't our only hike. I also hiked Malan Peak with Aunt Lynnette, we hiked in Farmington Canyon, American Fork Canyon, Big Cottonwood Canyon and almost got eaten alive by mosquitos on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway.
Bryce Canyon National Park - September 3-6, 2010 - with Kathleen. Our only backpacking adventure of the year.
We also had some fantastic adventures in Idaho (but not nearly enough!):
Eagle Fun Days - June 10-13, 2010

Road Trip with G and G Price - August 6-8 - They came with us to Idaho for McKayla's baptism. Another 2011 Resolution: bring G and G to Emma's baptism in January and Hallie's in May.
Simpson Reunion - July 9-12, 2010 - we brought Brian and Tiffany along to the Simpson Reunion and had a blast!
Brian and Tiffany's wedding - December 16, 2010 - this adventure included a Salt Lake Temple Square evening, Idaho Falls wedding pictures in the snow, a reception trip to Montana and a hayride!
James went Back to School!
First helicopter flight - September 9, 2010 - We chose to stop helicopter training before he got to solo and will start back up with airplane ratings next semester. James also got straight A-'s this semester!
We're both still employed:
Backcountry.com - James is the In-Bound Dock Coordinator
Life Flight - I'm the lead billing specialist - October 31, 2010 and November 4, 2010 we got to participate in Hoist Training with Life Flight.
Best of all, we celebrated our 4th Anniversary this year!
Cheers to 2011! Happy New Year!
