SUNDANCE, Utah — Sundance Mountain Resort held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday before the first riders loaded the high-speed, detachable Outlaw Express, one of its two brand new chairlifts.
It also opened its new beginner area called The Lookout with surface-lift access and a new on-mountain restaurant.
I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
