SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Chris Mousely doesn’t just instruct skiers at Deer Valley Resort, he also instructs instructors. Then he finds time to race motorcycles at the Utah Motorsports Campus, where he doesn’t just compete; he wins.

“Racing is never a solo effort,” he wrote on social media. “I owe so much to my amazing friends and unwavering sponsors including Burt Brothers Tires, whose support made this season possible. Their belief in me kept me pushing harder every round, and I can’t thank them enough. This season was full of challenges, learning experiences, and relentless competition. I gave it everything I had, and while there’s always more to improve, I’m proud of the effort and dedication that went into every race.”

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.
