Park City has a $25 "Learn to ski/ride" package (rentals, beginner lift, lesson) and Mrs Luviano wanted to check that out. (I'm a pathetic skiier, but not a beginner)

The Captain Of The 2023 WWC Champions/LPGA Money Leader was fascinated by the ski lifts at Brighton when we visited there after a couple of hours at Solitude's Cross Country area. So she might be ready for a lesson with a REALLLLLYYYY patient instructor...........

When were you up at the Solitude Nordic Center? I love skiing around the lake. 🙂

I so need to get up there soon (i.e. before I give in and go get an x-ray on my stupid foot and they tell me I have to sit around and get fat for weeks)...

So maybe your daughter can expand her talents and win the ladies downhill at the 2022 Olympics!

We were there on New Year's Day. It was sunny & nice.

I will have to get my daughter into snowboarding. She has discovered that ski poles are useful for hitting daddy over the head.

How many out-of-staters come to Utah each year for skiing? I've been hearing plugs for Utah skiing on National Public Radio where they push the hour plane-to-lift aspect of it. Seems like a good feature to plug for those who have done things like gone to Breckenridge, Aspen, Jackson Hole and other places and found themselves spenging a couple hours just to get from the airport to the slopes.
