PARK CITY, Utah — The Second Annual Eagle Super Pond Championship took place at Park City Mountain on Saturday. The crowd was wild, and the competitors were going for it. From flips to faceplants, each competitor put on a show even when coming up short. The 50-degree water was a shot to the system of those that went for a swim, but Park City Fire District was on hand in dry suits in order to help rescue the competitors, ensuring a fun yet safe event for all to enjoy.
Like many transplants to Utah, Kevin started his journey to Park City as a ski instructor in 2014 and fell in love with the mountains enough to stay. A skier since the age of 2 and a half, he still gets excited about carving turns down the slopes and hopping into the powder on snow days.
Kevin's passion for storytelling and photography led him to a second bachelor's degree focused on communications and fine art photography from the University of Utah. Paired with his first undergrad in ecology from Oklahoma State University, Kevin particularly enjoys writing environmental and nature stories. In his spare time, you can usually find him in his jeep looking for wildlife and landscapes to photograph.
