Here is a Chinese Riddle for you… How does the VIP line take longer than the general admission line? This was the question of the night as I was freezing and anxiously waiting in the VIP line at Harry O’s in Park City. There was a lot going on at the moment to keep me occupied: the snow was coming down profusely, celebrities were sneaking by on the sidewalks trying to remain unnoticed, and a cop was busy with some yelling drunks. I’ve lived in Utah most of my life yet never really experienced much of the famous Sundance Film Festival. Here I was about to see a former Jurassic 5 member, Chali 2Na; not even a movie, yet I felt so apart of this independent film experience. We had quite the fun filled night full of entertainment-especially when we were homeward bound (classic movie by the way which was on TV this week).
The snow had begun blanketing the roads and we knew this was going to be a looong night. It turned out to be as we literally, barely made it home-we witnessed several prideful 4 wheel drive SUV’s spin out and slam into cement barricades, believing they were the exception in this winter hurricane. I felt like we were THE little Toyota Camry that could. If it wasn’t for our driver’s experienced skills in Mario Kart we may have never made it up the mountain between Park City and Heber. The driver, a good friend, was an expert on the ice levels and took advantage of the dry spots in the snow to catch traction so we didn’t end up sliding back down the mountain. This was the second weekend in a row were snow and driving created problems, it was even the same route.
Note to self: winter hikes can create unseen challenges. Not only is it difficult to find an actual trail that is not closed because of snow but certain canyons aren’t the most accessible in a tiny Toyota. Any ideas of winter hikes would be greatly appreciated-THANKS.
I love sunsets...
If it’s a 435 number should you answer it? Yeah I shouldn’t have. Everyone is welcome to come and witness me speak February 28.
