Thanksgiving In Park City: Day 4

Day four of the trip started off around 10:30am when we headed out the door to cruise into Park City to check out another thrift store my aunt and uncle told us about. Unfortunately, when we got there, the building it was supposed to be in was being renovated, so that plan didn't quite pan out.

We already had all our gear with us since we were going to head to Brighton from the thrift store, so upon seeing it was closed, we headed off for Brighton. The drive took about 45 minutes and took us just outside of Salt Lake City. Thankfully, the drive through the canyon to get the Brighton had perfectly fine road conditions and provided for some cool scenery, so it made the last stretch of the drive go smoothly.

When we got to Brighton, Bacon had to talk to Human Resources to get a pass since he worked for a Boyne retail shop in Michigan, and Boyne owns Brighton. So lucky for him, he ended up getting a free day pass while I had to pay $32 for a half day ticket, but it was definitely worth it. However, I unfortunately didn't do any filming of this day of riding because I was too busy having mad fun in their little jib park. Some features they had were a double mail box rail, a couple down boxes, a triangle box and two flat boxes next to each other.

It was so much fun, we ended up riding all the way until last chair. From the mountain, we headed into Cottonwood Heights, which is the town at the bottom of the canyon where Brighton is. The reason we stopped there was to head to Causwell, a really sick ski shop that sells Surface Skis, a local Utah brand that Bacon rocks. Bacon is going to live in Salt Lake City next year, so he talked to the manager about working their next year, as well as interning for Surface at SIA, since the shop is owned by Surface. When he talked to the manager, it sounded pretty positive, so hopefully we'll both be heading to Denver for SIA.

From there we headed to 7-11, snagged some Pina Colada slushies, and made the drive back to my aunt and uncles. After dropping out snow gear and cleaning up a bit, we went to Bacon's families' place to catch the end of the University of Utah vs. BYU game. His family is HUGE U of U fans, so much so that I had to keep my reddish jacket on until the game was over (since U of U is red and white). Unfortunately, BYU won, so needless to say his family was most upset. While watching the game, we feasted on some spaghetti, and finished up with some amazing cheesecake and apple pie.

After catching the end of another game, we all played quite a few games of euchre. Unfortunately for me, his family is really big into euchre, and I had just learned how to play about a week ago, so I was definitely a beginner among pros. The game was fun nonetheless, and I had a great time hanging out with the McClellands.

When we got back to my aunt and uncles for the night, we were both pretty exhausted, but we sucked it up and packed all our stuff so we could leave for The Boat in the morning. Peace.
