The Greatest Snow on Earth

When the first flakes fell in Provo, Sini was unfazed. School was never canceled because of snow in Finland. Her dad would tie a rope to the back of their snowmobile and they'd ski behind it. However, her new roommates are "obsessed," says Sini. One from Texas and one from Arizona had never seen the white wonder. "I can't believe it," Sini says.

"They say it's the greatest snow on earth and it really is. In Finland it's very icy. Here it is so fun to have powder. The mountains are much steeper here, too." She looks forward to going downhill and cross-country skiing up at Sundance.
