Miriam and Winnie grew up hearing all about Snowbird: the lodge, the slideshow, the alpine slide, the pool, the yearbook kids, the zip line, etc. Then when they were each respectively old enough to attend the yearbook camps we would go to every summer at Jostens staff members, the venue changed to Zermatt. Although Zermatt was lovely, it wasn't the same as Snowbird. So as a mini vacation this summer, Seth and I took Miriam and Winnie an on overnight trip to Snowbird so they could see the place they always heard about from their older sisters.
We drove down the morning of July 31 because none of the rides/attractions at Snowbird open until 11. We had purchased our all-day passes online, so when we got there we picked up our passes and tried a little of nearly everything. The zipline and alpine slide are gone, the bungee drop was closed, and the trampoline had age and weight restrictions (only Winnie qualified to go on that), but we did everything we could.
Winnie and Seth on the tram. This is one activity Seth and I never got to do while at yearbook camp because the tram ride took too long. We had to stay where the majority of the kids were and shoot footage of them doing the fun activities while we could.

Andrea on the mountain coaster.
Miriam, Andrea and Seth on the chairlift. Winnie opted to stay at the bottom and ride the mountain coaster over and over again while we enjoyed the scenic ride up and back down. Not pictured: the ropes course. Miriam chose to sit that one out due to her fear of heights. The ropes course was a first for us as well.
Chilling in the hotel after we felt we had gotten our fill of the resort.
Andrea and Winnie headed to the pool. Both of us got sunburned at Snowbird.
