My New Mission In Life is to Learn How to Ski....


WHAT!!??? You may ask! Aside from the fact that I generally can't stand skiers, except for Skippy and a few select bangers I have met, I am ready to learn how to ski for the sole purpose of going on this interconnect tour. I have snowblades and was whipping down the mountain in no time on those bad boys, so I assume that riding on two larger planks won't cause me much of a problem. I already have ski boots too!

A description of the tour from the Ski Utah website:

"Experience Utah’s Wasatch backcountry by interconnecting six resorts in one day. Ever wonder what the skiing is like on the other side of the rope? The Ski Utah Interconnect Adventure Tour offers a safe, exciting and unique way to experience the Wasatch mountain backcountry via routes in and out of up to six different ski resorts. Seasoned guides lead the way to fabulous off-piste turns, incredible views and a day not soon forgotten.

Tours depart daily from Deer Valley Resort or Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort, and are led through Park City Mountain Resort, Solitude Mountain Resort, Brighton Resort and Alta Ski Area. Cost of the Tour includes guide service, lunch, lift access and transportation back to point of origin.

The Ski Utah Interconnect Adventure Tour gives an advanced to expert skier the opportunity to experience the magnificent beauty and incredible backcountry terrain of the Wasatch Mountain Range. Tours operate seven days a week, weather and conditions permitting, and are open to advance to expert skiers in good physical condition. Due to the nature of the Interconnect Adventure Tour, snowboarding is not permitted. Guests will ski backcountry routes between and through as many as six resorts in one day. Interconnect Adventure Tour guides are trained in snow safety and backcountry etiquette."
