On March 30, a small but elite crew of willing participants met in Park City at the Eating Establishment to map out the day’s route that would include 5 Utah resorts (Park City Mountain Resort, Solitude, Alta, Snowbird, Brighton) in no particular order, as well as some rewarding backcountry shots in between. We departed on this journey at about 9:30 AM, and when all was said and done, we returned to Park City a little after 5:00 PM. It should be noted that this trip “officially” never happened, you’ll just have to take my word for it. By the end of the day, we had hiked and skied some of the most legendary backcountry shots the mighty Wasatch has to offer: Patsy Marley, Grizzly Gulch, a chute on Mt. Tuscarora called The Seagull, and managed to squeeze in quite a few great in-bounds runs like the Highboy at Alta. To the 5 amigos who held each other together through a full day of hiking, traversing, crashing on pavement, more hiking, bottomless buckets of fries at Alf’s, more hiking, bonking, breaking trail, and some kick ass memorable turns in between: let’s do it again next year!

To my fellow amigos — ’twas a grand day indeed. Thanks again NR for planning the logistics. Looking forward to next year’s adventure already. Maybe we’ll have to add that 6th resort in ‘09. Until then, keep ‘em turning.

And what was the rest of your family doing….
Watching Horton Hears a Who and eating popcorn at a movie theater. Why do you ask? This must be one of those rhetorical questions.
