I Tried

road trip

Goodbye beautiful Big Sky. We are Sun Valley bound and have spent most of the day driving in a snowstorm to reach our destination. Imagine our complete dismay as snow turned to wet flakes turned to just plain, cold rain. It didn't matter that the forecast called for exactly the weather we were getting We did not travel this far to see fog and rain on the ski slopes, or worse yet to hear the locals say, "Wow, it just never rains like this this time of year." That's almost as bad as, "Dude, you should have been here last week when we had the big 12" dump of fat, fluffy flakes!"

Ooooh, what a disappointment. What a bummer. What a waste of a mountain.

So we did the next best thing, we went shopping. Well,honestly, it wasn't the next best thing but it was better than sitting in our beautiful lodge across the street from the beautiful mountain and whining about things.

I tried, I really tried to get into the spirit of what-can-you-do-so-let's-explore-Ketchum but I must admit that I was a pill most of the day. At least the evening ended with a fabulous dinner at the Ketchum Bar & Grille. We highly recommend it.
