Sundance: Stars and Slopes Forever

.....
For an ab-fab time on the slopes, head to Park City during the annual
Sundance Film Festival, this year scheduled for Jan. 19-29.

Oh, sure, it's gridlock for 10 days as members of the movie tribe --
15,000 a day -- schmooze, deal and see and get seen in the flesh and on
the many screens set up all over the small mountain town. But
approximately none of these people ski.

What's more, the locals aren't on the slopes much either during
Sundance. Some are going to screenings and parties. Some are picking up
extra work with the festival. (A bonanza for bouncers!) Others have
hunkered down to wait out the invasion.

This leaves the mountains' majesty to the minority that comes to Park
City in late January for the snow, which, by the way, is usually super
-- an average yearly fall of 350 inches. Park City also has enough
terrain to keep a skier or boarder of any level busy -- a combined
8,600 acres at Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley and the Canyons.

That's right ... Keep 'em on THAT side of the Wasatch, and leave the
Cottonwoods to the rest of us.

I'll be staying with friends in Francis. It's good to be on the
Government Ski Team again this year.

All I remember is a lot of people shivering in black leather jackets.
And something about Harry O's...
