Is this a loaded question? [Note: Yes] I have had the opportunity to ski many places in the world and when the snow is good you can have an amazing time on skis or a snowboard anywhere. However, I choose to live where I do because of the frequency and amount of snow that falls. In fact, today I was able to take off this morning and get about 10 runs of amazing skiing at Brighton and make it back to my office in Salt Lake by 1:00pm. I don’t know anywhere else where you can do that and live in a major metropolitan city... Mmm, now that I think about it, I do like Heliskiing in Chile in August when we don’t have any snow in Utah.
I am a skier. Tell me, do you like skiers or boarders more? Are you a skier or a boarder?
I do both. I mostly ski because I like to look for off-piste skiing and secret stashes and that is harder to do on a board but once in a while it is great to strap on a board have a different feeling on snow. I enjoy XC skate skiing as well. It is a great workout. As long as you are sliding on snow and having fun.
Would you like to tell us about anything that has not yet been covered?
I truly believe that skiing is one of the best sports activities for families. As a parent, I couldn’t wait until my kids and I could share a chairlift together. You can’t get that kind of experience playing golf or tennis or even biking, but skiing in the mountains is a great experience that should be a tradition for all families.
How is the powder out there right now?
We have just come off of a week of a lot of powder. Our base depths are fantastic and now we are expecting a week of sunshine. Today (January 16) it was about 30 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Next storm is forecasted for Thursday. Maybe we’ll see you here!
