Club Trip to Europe

I am currently the Snowriders Club president at BYU. As we have been meeting throughout the school year, we began talking about the possibility of taking the ultimate ski road trip to France. Well, January rolled around, and prices dropped on flights, so we got the word out to the club, and had 3 couples, 3 single guys, and my dad and I sign on. Cassi was more than invited but chose not to go since she had already been to Chamonix. We set out on the journey, and these are a few of the pictures.
left to right from the top: us riding a sweet rope-between-the-legs surface tow, Le Flegere tram with Chamonix in the background, view of Mont Blanc from our hotel balcony, me scared of heights on the Brevant tram deck, Jeff Adam and I on the tram deck, view of how amazingly huge these mountains are, us once again on the tram deck, us joined by Devereaux after hitting up the terrain park at Les Grandes Montets, and view of the Chamonix Valley from the top of Les Grandes Montets.

It was an awesome trip.





My dad and I spent three days with the club in Chamonix and then ventured out to visit some other areas. We met with the sales director of a lift manufacturing company in Geneva, Switzerland, visited that region for a day, and then flew to Rome. After attending church at the local ward, we set out on our quest to see as much of Rome as we could. I'd say that we did pretty well.
