I had forgotten how beautiful Sundance Ski Resort really is. Biking below Timpanogos, the waterfalls cascading down the mountains, the green groves of trees, ferns, grasses and flowers (and the smell of them)...well, the scenery is definitely part of what makes a day of biking here worth ever penny of the $20 for the lift pass. And, hey, it's a much better price than the $28 you pay at Deer Valley. Was working on a story for Travel Host magazine and a feature for Lori's Mountain Report this month on KALL 700, so had camera and recorder along. George, Greg, Rick and Vincent came along for the ride (pun intended). Greg and Vince stuck to the trails, even on the uphill, then left early, but George, Rick and I stayed until 5:00 pm-- So glad I brought my own car. Shakes and sandwiches for lunch on the wooden deck next to the creek. Total 5-star day. They don't have a ton of terrain (25 miles), but the routes are good--you just get to do them over and over. There's a great cross-country trail (Archie's Trail) that zooms you out to the edge and has some nice scenic drop-offs. The second type of terrain is tighter, switchback single track in the trees. Luved it!
