New Years Skitacular!

27 December 2014

Oregon/Idaho border.  Conditions are so crummy in Oregon that we had to bail and go to Idaho. Or through Idaho. We're on our way to Steamboat via Snow Basin, Utah. Day 1 was Eugene to Ogden.

















We had some tire problems in Bend (blow out) and stopped in Burns to get some new wheels. Les Schwab had us in and out in 20 minutes...and $486. 

















It's nice having another driver. 

















We arrived at the Motel 6 in Ogden around 9pm. The accommodations were suitably sleezy.  Or unsuitably sleezy--this will be the last time we stay at a Motel 6. The blood on the floor did it for us.

Tomorrow: Snow Basin, home of the Grizzly downhill from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.
