A group of local skiers, led by the folks at Ski Utah, broke a record after skiing all 14 Utah ski resorts in one day. On March 15, 2012, history was made after the skiers completed their statewide tour at Beaver Mountain in northern Utah, 16 hours and 45 minutes after starting at 3 a.m. at Brian Head in southern Utah.
This new record not only proves that Utah has some of the most accessible ski resorts in thew world, but was also a fundraiser to benefit organizations including the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Canyon Transportation also donated their services to make the mission possible.
The 14 skiers began their day on March 15, 2012 at 3 a.m. at Utah’s most Southern resort, Brian Head, and completed their mission in record time at 7:45 p.m. at Beaver Mountain near Logan, Utah. The skiers have rivaled the previous Ski Utah record of skiing 13 resorts in one day set January 13, 2009. Since that time, Utah’s fourteenth resort – Eagle Point, opened near Beaver, Utah.
“Utah is famous for the unparalleled access of its ski and snowboard resorts,” said Ski Utah Communications Director Jessica Kunzer. “This is why we were compelled to enjoy the unique opportunity to ski every resort in our state in a single day.”
This mission was made possible with the support of Utah’s 14 ski and snowboard resorts, Canyons’ Farm Restaurant and Canyon Transportation.
