Congratulations on being a featured coach.

Could get your workout just shoveling snow! Hope you can get unburied, but the snow and water is need. Plus I bet the kids love it!

We only got a couple of inches up here.

We got 14 inches at my house. My forearms are sore!

I can't wait to find out whether your key workout is the Alta / Albion Basin run, Best Buy loop, or Sandy 24hr Fitness hot tub soak :-)

Had a nice soak yesterday Jake - after my brutal 7 mile treadmill run.

Best hot tub in Utah - hands down the Alta Peruvian Lodge.

Oh yeah, not even up for debate. You want to sit on the left hand side of the first tub (coming out from the bar) for perfect views of Mt Superior.

I think that hot tub gets about 85% of the credit for inspiring us to have our wedding there! :-)

You know, they don't check whether you're staying there or not. I might just start heading up there on Friday evenings to hang out at the bar/hot tub.

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 15:41:30 from 199.190.170.21

Yeah you can do that... you don't have to stay there to use the bar and hot tub. Plenty of people do that - Apres Ski!
