US Road Trip!!!!
Thanks cords
92 days to go!!!!
72 days to go.
So Dan and I didn’t last with not booking anything. We arrive into Aspen just days before the xgames and we are in Salt Lake City during Sundance so things were filling up quick!
So this is the itinerary as it stands
Land in Denver 17th Jan - Drive to Frisco and spend the night.
Up early and drive to Aspen for 2 days/2 nights staying - Tyrolean Lodge
Then driving to Jackson Hole for 4 nights - 3 days Skiing. Going to try and go cat skiing.
Staying at The Snow King Resort.
Then driving to Snowbird in Utah and stay at The Lodge at Snowbird for 3 nights.
The driving to Mammoth where we will stay for either one or two nights - Holiday Haus, highly recommended by ny times!
Then heading up to Tahoe for 4 nights before flying home. this isn’t booked.
Most of the above can be cancelled if we do change our mind.
So hopefully 11 days on snow!!!
45 days to go!

Oh and we also got hockey tickets for Salt Lake City
The Utah Grizzlies vs Bakersfield Condors
just a tip, oz and northern lights…
We found this to be awesome for our across the US trip.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Email-Delivery-Straight-Talk-Unlimited-Text-Talk-and-Web-Access-30-Day-Service-Card/15443344Can order a simcard and pick it up from a store you’ll be near when you arrive.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-AT-T-Compatible-Dual-SIM-Activation-Kit/34565627It uses the AT&T network which is the best in the US, I think!
Just an idea to keep in mind - hope it helps!
I only just saw this.
I actually got one of these, so did DRC must check in with him how it is going.
We are using these. Coverage is poor in a lot of parts but has been very helpful.
^ Better than no phone… it gets hard organizing with no phone, speaking from first hand experience.

Yes! It’ll be good.. hope you got good seats in the middle… =)
I am not sure - Dan organised it.
But my one and only hockey game i LOVED and we got last minute nose bleed seats!
The atmosphere makes it!

They aren’t the NHL so it won’t be super packed out and great quality but even lower grade hockey matches are awesome. We saw plenty of the Kamloops Blazers games and while not the same as the game I saw in Boston, were still mega fun.
Yep unfortunately there were no NHL matches anywhere near where we are staying.
But i don’t think any of us will notice the lower “quality”
I am pretty sure i didn’t go to an NHL my first hockey game.
Yeah the only team nearby is the Colorado Avalanche and they are in Denver which you are leaving asap.
Yep - Denver was the first place we checked since we land on Saturday night.
When I lived at Winter Park the boys used to go down for hockey games quite frequently.
