walkin in a WINTER wonderland?

so after rain, cold, and SNOW.... today it hit the 80's....
so naturally- i pulled on my snow pants, laced up my snow boots, and headed up big cottonwood canyon.
ok.. not BY MYSELF.. BRIGHTON'S LAST WORKSHOP!!!!!!

we parked in the lower bowl (upper bowl not reachable by car yet), grabbed our shovels and headed up the mountain.  we reached the base, glanced at the measuring light pole..... 7 ft.

7 FEET OF SNOW!  JUNE 4TH!

 

regardless of the snow.. it was warm up there. it was a sight to see 20+ girls decked out for the snow from the waist down and in t-shirts.  we toured camp(what we could see of it). nibbik (a cabin) was COMPLETELY covered in snow.

we went on a candy hunt to find out who our roommates will be for the summer and where we'll be staying. 
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick boom DYNAMITE IS MY ROOMMATE!!! we are living in columbine (which is up the hill)

after we toured we ate some lunch and got to work.  shovels in hand we dug our way into nibbik, hovel, the craft shack, the cafeteria, and a few other key areas.  the snow was NEVERENDING, the temperature was RISING, and the friendships were GROWING. 

even though winter is NOT my season... i feel so blessed that i got to walk in a winter wonderland with these amazing girls today. so brighton... bring on the rain, snow, sleet, or hail! HERE WE COME!
