Evan's life has been full of adventures and miracles large and small - one of which is skiing. We first had Evan on cross country skis as we did with all the family, whether in the backyard or at French park. A little up, a little down, a lot of horizontal movement. The first down hill skiing experience came under the tutelage of Doug Morrisette and Brad Taylor who worked with Evan 1-on-1 at a Saturday boy scout activity , I think at Troll Haugen back in MN. This was followed by a couple more scout activities - all really great accomplishments and done with great kindnesses of others, still at relatively calm altitudes. We did a skiing Thanksgiving trip to Alta where everyone took lessons - a step up for everyone. But truly miraculous skiing has happened under the care of Brigham.Rindy found an adaptive ski program at Park City. Evan gets a lesson and an opportunity to ski each Friday during winter semester. The key is he needs a ride up and a companion for the afternoon - enter Brigham. It is one of the many acts of service done by Brigham in helping facilitate a BYU experience for Evan. Thanks for making it happen.

Yeah for Evan and an even bigger Yeah for Brigham. Brig is such an awesome kid. Can't wait to meet the lucky girl (wherever she is) that gets to marry Brig!
Happy skiing to Evan!
I love the last picture. He is holding my snowboard and he actually skiis, but his expression is awesome
I miss the mountains. Lime Rickey's and the Wasatch...two things that make the 801 bearable.
i will have to do an ode to lime rickey's
Oh, the picture of Evan says so much. Miss him and his great bro.
