Sundance: Stars and Slopes Forever
Long time, no post. Here is an article that will appear in Sunday's
Washington Post "Travel" section. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...010600496.html http://tinyurl.com/denq7 -------------- Sundance: Stars and Slopes Forever By M.J.

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. ..... -------------- |
