Tradition dictates that during Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, we join our ski-loving friends in Deer Valley for a weekend of skiing.<br> To be sure, our family can best be described as 2 non-skiers, 1 reluctant skier, and 1 enthusiastic skier.  The enthusiastic skier (the 17 year old boy) has now skied a total of 1 weekend a year for the past 5 years and tackled his first black diamond slope on Sunday with control and skill.  See below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Deer Valley 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4dSWCciZDBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the 1 in 4 skiing enthusiast ratio in our family, we thoroughly enjoy the weekend.  Deer Valley is the Nordstrom of ski resorts, with excellent customer service and friendly staff (not to mention good skiing).  Park City has a cute and fun downtown to walk around (we are particularly partial to the Park City Jewelers.)  \ud83d\ude42  Our contribution is to cook dinner (this year it was cioppino one night and make-your-own-pizza one night).  Most importantly, we love spending time with our friends.  We have known them for over 25 years, and we appreciate the relatively quiet time over the holiday weekend to re-connect and form new memories together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"3041\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mayliang.us\/?attachment_id=3041\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?fit=4032%2C3024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6s&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1550400302&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00019500780031201&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_7901\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?fit=584%2C438\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_7901.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Deer Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-attachment-id=\"3040\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mayliang.us\/?attachment_id=3040\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?fit=3088%2C2320&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3088,2320\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1550473337&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.87&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_5676\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?fit=1024%2C769&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604-1024x769.jpeg?resize=1024%2C769\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?resize=1024%2C769&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?resize=399%2C300&amp;ssl=1 399w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mayliang.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_5676-e1550702877604.jpeg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are creatures of habit, even if we prefer to call them traditions.
