The (Not So) Moonlight Lift


Last summer we went on the Sundance moonlight ski lift with the Willmores. We had so much fun and decided we wanted to make it a yearly tradition. We planned this date about a month ago and it is something I was really looking forward to.

When the day finally came, the Willmores met us at our apartment and we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill. We came out of the restaurant and the sky had suddenly changed to an ugly gray and we could see rain off in the distance. We still wanted to do the lift so we drove up the canyon hoping they wouldn't shut it down. It started raining pretty hard as soon as we got to Sundance. We waited around for a little bit deciding if we wanted to stay or go. Eventually we decided to leave. It was pouring plus it was windy and cold. We got back in our car and decided to drink hot chocolate from the thermos that Natalie brought as a new tradition. Her hot chocolate was much better than paying $3/cup at Sundance. After a series of events that took place sitting in the car, we saw the lift finally start moving so we decided we were going to do it (even if it started raining again while we were on the lift and we were stuck)!!! I'm so glad we did! Even though we couldn't see the moon because of all the clouds, the weather stayed decent and we had a great time talking with good friends.








I can't wait until next year!
