Every mid-week I start the debate, "What should I do this weekend?"
Go skiing? That's the obvious answer. Brighton opened for skiing today. Solitude will open tomorrow and several resorts will be open by weekend. There's about a foot of snow on the grass in my front yard, thanks to that nasty weekend storm. But no, I'm not all that excited about skiing. I go a time or two every winter but for now I'll wait until snow conditions become better.
Ice fish? When the storm moved out it left clear skies and temperatures plunged. It has been cold enough to put ice on the ponds in a hurry. I suspect there is now fishable ice on bays at Scofield. The fishing can be very good under new ice, but no, I prefer to wait for it to firm up and be guaranteed safe.
Hike? Yes, of course. I need to go to St. George for a business meeting (lucky excuse), and I'm not yet ready to give up on sunshine and warm sand. There is one more rock art panel in Snow Canyon I need to find and photograph, so I think I'll head that direction.
Right now the weather looks grand.
Winter's coming, but I'm still looking for a little more Indian Summer.
