Rain

This weekend my fiances company had their annual family party up at Snowbird. Last year they held it there and it was a good time--minus standing in line for 2 hours to go on their alpine slide. So to avoid that problem this year we decided that we would go up and be there right as they opened. Well, it was a great idea BUT many people decided to do that as well. So we got to the top and decided to go on the Alpine slide since that line took forever last year. Well we stood in line for an hour and we were able to go on the ride. After we get done we decide we want to do the zip line so we go and get into line.

We wait in line for a little over an hour and the next thing you know it starts to rain. We are only 2 sets of riders to go before we are at the top of the line. We wait about 10 minutes until they start it back up and they send both groups. We get excited that we are just about there but then they only send up one seat for the zip line. So they have to send it up. I go over and get strapped in and then they let Scott get all but strapped in when it starts to DOWN POUR. The phone rings and one of the workers answers it--we can't go. Now normally we would have waited BUT it was 10 minutes before lunch ended and the rain wasn't going to stop any time soon. So we waited in line for 1.5 hours for a stupid zip line AND we got soaked. So we went to lunch and sat through the prizes (Scott won the 2nd to last prize with the last prize being a iPad- what a bummer!).

We were going to go up on the tram in the afternoon but we walked out of the lunch and the line to go up on the tram was out of the tram house. SO! We went home. It was so frustrating to have a day up there and all we did was the alpine slide. Oh well, it got us out of the valley and hiking at least part of the mountain. :)
