We Survived Another Sundance

Well, the Sundance Film Festival ended this Sunday and we have reclaimed our town. From everything that I have heard, 2012 Sundance was a success with many films selling, the weather cooperated by snowing heavily, and I think everyone generally had a good time. So now on to the next event, which begins this week. This coming Wednesday we kick off the start of the annual FIS Freestyle World Cup with a street concert on Main Street and a commemoration of the 10-year anniversary of the 2002 winter Olympics.

Sundance is Happening

So after all the hoopla last week of all the storms arriving it started off as a big ho-hum. Between Wednesday and Friday we received a measly 14 inches of heavy wet snow. While to some that may seem like a lot, remember we are a ski town and were hoping for multiple feet of snow. Then Saturday came and the storm arrived in full force. A full-on old-fashioned Utah blizzard all day and well into the night and left us with 28 inches of our famous Utah powder. Needless to say, the skiing Sunday morning was incredible. [Continued]

And the Sun Continues

As of New Years day, 2011 has come in for 4th place since 1944 for the driest winter and if it snows less than 40" through the rest of this month it will be the second driest winter since 1944. However, with all that said, the skiing is amazingly good. Last Thursday I attended a party at Deer Valley sponsored by SKI Magazine to honor Deer Valley being the #1 rated ski resort in North America for 5 years straight. [Continued]

Happy New Year!

2011 came in as a lion and went out as a lamb. It has been warm, sunny, and dry for the last month; December having been the driest month on record here in Utah and not seeing any major change on the horizon. In spite of this, the skiing is actually quite good. I was out yesterday and had a delightful time skiing around the mountain under crystal blue skies. [Continued]
