Opening Day Video From PCMR
I love Opening Day. Saturday, November 20th was the first day of the ski season here for us Park City folks. I made a few runs with some staffers from the mountain who were happy to get the season rockin’.
It felt good to be back on the snow, and I was amazed how good the conditions were for the first day of the season. The weather was a mixed bag; a little bit of snow, a lot of wind. As the day went on, the cold front moved in, and by evening, we had a full-on blizzard on our hands. Forget about a white Christmas, we’re going to have a white-out Thanksgiving. Looking forward to some powder turns on Thanksgiving day. Be thankful for what we got.
Get Your Mountain On
Attention, all ski bum wannabes. The Canyons is rolling out a worldwide search to find a pro blogger for the 2010-2011 season. Here’s what you get, if you are selected:
- A SEASON PASS TO THE CANYONS
- SUPERIOR (SUITE) LODGING AT THE WALDORF ASTORIA
- SALARY OF $40,000 FOR JUST FOUR MONTH`S OF `HARD-WORK`
- USE OF CAMERA, VIDEO CAMERA AND LAPTOP
- HEAD-TO-TOE SKI OR BOARD GEAR
- CANYONS CLUB ACCESS
- AIRFARE TO AND FROM CANYONS
- SPA TREATMENTS
- SKI SCHOOL AND AVALANCHE TRAINING CLINICS
- FIRST TRACKS AND HELI SKIING ACCESS
- VIP CREDENTIALS FOR ALL CANYONS EVENTS
Let’s analyze this. The “airfare to and from Canyons” might indicate “locals need not apply.” But I’m guessing many Utahns will submit nonetheless, heck, I’m hearing that employees at other Utah resorts are already working on their videos. If they picked a local blogger like myself, I’d be happy to drive down to the airport and have the helicopter pick me up and drop me off.

Anyway, I’ve started working on my video. It’s about how I am going to get to The Canyons if I win the contest. Tell me what you think:
