At Park City Mountain, Jupiter’s old chairlift and original terrain remain iconic of Skiing of the past. The Lift is slow, the area isolated and even though it sits at the top of our local resort, very few skiers ever set foot there. 

For many years, I have complained about the two-seat, slow lift and wished it were modern. Now, though, as modern lift infrastructure and too many riders have invaded our mountain space, I surprise myself by drastically changing my tune and seeming to prefer yesteryear’s way. 

Slow, genuine and natural suits me better. Old age, maturity or at long last, better balance…
