| >> THANK YOU TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS |
We are committed to do more with less and explore new strategies to increase visitation and visitor spending, as well as support our tourism partners around the state. We are fortunate to have, in Governor Jon Huntsman, a chief executive who has led the charge for revamping our state's economic development efforts. As the 2009 Utah Legislature works to maintain budgetary fiscal responsibility, let us be thankful that our elected representatives understand and support what is being done by professionals from all around the state to improve the standard of living for the people and communities of Utah.

The mission began at Brian Head Resort in southern Utah at 4 a.m. The team drove to the Giant Steps run and enjoyed pristine corduroy snow under the light of a large moon. Mother Nature continued to provide perfect bluebird weather conditions throughout the day. Spectacular snow conditions were complemented with perfect temperatures, mountain-blue skies, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The final stop was at Beaver Mountain, near Logan Utah, over 360 miles north of the mission's starting place. The group arrived at Beaver Mountain just before 8 p.m. and enjoyed three celebratory runs off the Little Beaver Lift. "With an international airport just minutes from our mountains, Utah is the most accessible winter destination in the world," commented Ski Utah President Nathan Rafferty. "Skiing 13 in a day, using only a van and skis, really underscores this point." Team members, as pictured in attachment from left to right, included:
The 13 Resorts In One Day mission was made possible by the support of Utah's 13 ski resorts, Whole Foods Market and Young Chevrolet. |
