It is... you just have to have skied for the same number of seasons as you've golfed.

I’ll be DEAD before that happens, but I will keep at it. My goal is to ski into my 80’s

I might borrow my son's golf clubs and start playing some golf out here soon. But we better not talk about it too much because next thing they'll close all the courses.
I'm a hacker and never gonna shoot my age unless I'm still playing at 95, but do you get any bonus points if your golf score is less than the price of your lift ticket?

Wasatch County goes into lockdown tomorrow at midnight. No travel outside and no recreational visitors are allowed to travel into Wasatch county.

I suspect that public golf courses will shut down VERY soon. We are playing inside gates, so hard to close our course, but who knows. As is it walking only (no carts) and not supposed to touch the flag (cup liner is raised so balls can‘t go into the hole)

I wonder if they are going to not allow non-wasatch county fisherman to fish the middle Provo river??? That would be nice.

@Jim Kenney get after the golf... If I can start skiing in my 50’s you can get out there and play golf

Those are awesome. I discovered that carrying skis on my back is REALLY hard. I had aspirations to get up high like that, but there was no way!

I only hike with skis on my pack when it is too steep to skin. It is quicker for a short hike vs. putting skins on. But not for as far as you hiked yesterday!

Snowshoed up Willow Springs ar Snowbasin. The snow on this run is deep, about 12" with skis and 18" in snowshoes. Good PIA workout.

It was hard. It wasn't easy coming down, either. Willow Spring was almost untouched. I had a hard time in that deep, dense snow. Something to work on -- ok, a lot of things to work on, including my endurance. haha

I'm sure descending through that wasn't fun, for sure. The snow has had a lot of time to set up.

We skinned up to the top of Needles Gondola today. When we got to the top, the clouds cleared and we saw a large avalanche in Middle Bowl Cirque. It was probably natural but not sure since there was no others on top when we were there.
