Park City
Sunday 7 February 1993
Weather
Late afternoon- weather was clear after a foggy start.
Conditions
There was a good base, thanks to good snowfall. Snow in great condition
Overall
In Salt Lake City for a Security WG meeting there was plenty of opportunity for skiing.
Sunday was a strange day. First of all, I headed up to Park City to give Carol Painting a chance to ski and then I returned to the airport to meet Derek Kaufman for his performance appraisal.
Finally, I headed back to Park City, arriving about 3pm, so I waited until the night skiing started, tremendous value for just $8.
I got in approximately three hours starting at 4pm, under lights from around 5:30. It rapidly got very cold, but otherwise conditions were good, and there were no lift lines. There was some opportunity for varied runs immediately at 4pm, but soon, the only run available was PayDay. This was almost deserted and a great opportunity for relatively fast skiing.
Eventually I stopped when the next run didn't seem worth another long cold ride on the lift.
