12 June 1983
Utah does not lack for ski resorts. In fact, in the immediate Salt Lake City/Park City area there are eight of them. There are four more in the northern part of the state, and two in southern Utah. Some say that the powder on the ski slopes of Utah is even better than Colorado. I’ll have to take their word for it — despite learning how to ski while living in Utah, I never became an aficionado of the sport.
Snowbird, located about 40 miles (64 km] from Kaysville, was the first ski resort we went to after moving to Utah. We visited on a warm summer day and found plenty of snow in which to play.

Located in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Snowbird offers spectacular vistas. As the article above says:
It starts with things which only God can do—the snow, the terrain, the temperature, the scenic beauty—and here in Little Cottonwood Canyon each is present in such an ideal way that it seems a prescription for the ultimate in skiing is being uniquely filled.

It was a fun day … and one that we repeated on later occasions … be it spring, summer, fall, or winter.
