Day 4 in Zion... or why I suck.
Well, after yesterday's epic afternoon of dipping my balls in the sacred mormon snow, I woke up with some sore quadriceps. It was raining in SLC, but I knew it would be snowing in LCC. I was faced with a choice- ski some more and risk hurting myself, or rest up for tomorrow's heli sessions.
I opted to sleep in and stay off the skis. I know, I'm a pussy, and will lose major maggot rank with this. But if you woke up with weak legs and had reservations for a heli 24 hours later, what would you do? I thought so.
Being an Olympics and indie film geek, I decided that a day trip to Park City was in order. I figure when I'm the next hot director, I should be familiar with the town when my films premiere at the Egyptian.
After strolling through Park City practicing my Hollywood bigshot poses, I headed over to the Olympic Park, and checked out the Alf Engen ski museum. Today's trivia: Fat skis were first made in the late 60's by a Utah local. The fact that they've been around so long makes me wonder why skiing's ultimate retro-grouch, Glen Plake, is so against them. Also saw a cool promotional film for Utah made by Dick Barrymore in the early 70's. Thhis was true ski porn- even had a porno-style sountrack!
Anyway, had a good afternoon, and the weather is looking awesome for tomorrow.

Take your vitamins, eat a good dinner and get some sleep so you can tear it up tomorrow.
Enjoy the ride.
