Another perspective of our outdoor Christmas tree which appears large through our great room window, one floor down. TIMDT reminds every year that landscaper promised this tree would not grow to more than 15 feet high. That was twenty years ago. Tree now is about twenty-five feet in height.

08 10 61. Opening Day for general public.
Skied early and alone on Big Stick first run. Ski patroller watching from bottom yelled "nice job!" as I sped by. Pretty good feeling for this seventy-eight-year-old skier. Big Stick was not open yesterday. I may have been fourth or fifth to ski the run at season opening. The surface was a bit crunchy as is the case for most newly opened ski runs composed of manufactured snow.
Boise State football booster on Wasatch lift said private schools, including the likes of BYU, Univ. Miami, and Vanderbilt, would have access to better talent with NIL.

Fun being with good friends My Belle (who took image) and PGA on first official day of ski season at Deer Valley..

Guests of Park City and St. George friends Kirby and Kristen. Kirby is CFO of Deseret Management Corporation and CFO Beneficial Life Insurance Company. Kristen is mom of three high achieving kids and a dutiful member of Park City Singers.

The Event: First Presidency's Christmas Devotional. Halleluiah Chorus from Messiah. Organ bass note on final chord of "O Come All Ye Faithful" blew me out of my seat. Fabulous experience watching world famous orchestral/chorus ensemble performing in their own house. LDS Apostle Gerritt Gong, recounting his family Christmas traditions, stole the show. LDS President Russel Nelson, 99, was present. His ten-minute presentation was prerecorded. If you haven't attended one of the LDS holiday events at the Conference Center, I'd encourage you to get in line. World class musical performance in world class venue along with inspirational messaging. Best way to celebrate Christmas. TIMDT and Mwah (sic) are very grateful for the invite by Kirby and Kristen.
