Day 3 -
Jan 22
Deer Valley, UT
After some
great talks in the morning at the conference, we boarded the shuttle bus
to Deer Valley. Thankfully, the $65 ticket price was already included!
Deer Valley is rated #1 in this year's Ski Magazine readers poll. We can
see why - its a great mountain with excellent terrain.
Deer Valley is also host to the Olympic Aerials and Freestyle. Here's the grandstand and slope for these events. |
Here's Jeremy in a quasi hidden gladed section...we spent several runs ducking in and out of trees. |
But the highlight today was meeting ski legend and Olympic Gold Medalist (1952!) Stein Eriksen. For you Sugarbush fans, this is who the trail Stein's Run is named after. We told him about NELSAP, and got some autographed posters. Here's Jeremy, Chris, and Betsy pictured with Stein. |
