Why this blog?

Because I like to write, and because I needed somewhere to put all these stories about moving, hiking, skiing (badly), and figuring out small-town Utah. Simple as that.

  • The short answer: easy access, great snow, and a good vibe.

  • Our lease runs through June 2026. After that, we’ll see.

  • Yes — after 25 years in Austin, we swapped H-E-B runs for ski runs. Austin itself was great, but living under a nutso state government obsessed with undercutting the city? Not so great.

  • Our 15 year old large Yorkshire Terrier who has not yet decided whether he likes snow. He is the star of our family.

  • Nope. It’s just a record of our move and everyday life here.
