| It hasn't been a great year for cross-country skiing. I had already canceled a January outing, and as this February trip approached, there still wasn't enough snow in Round Valley. So I changed plans and moved the trip to Bonanza Flat. Four of us met at my house in Salt Lake, drove to the Park City transit center, took a free bus up to the Montage, and then hopped in a free van for the final leg to the trailhead. Aside from some expensive parking in PC ($30), the whole multi-leg journey was surprisingly pleasant. It takes a bit of time, but with good company it passes quickly. Bonanza Flat turned out to be far more scenic and noticeably less crowded than Round Valley and we were all glad we made the switch. We skied 7.5 miles of trail (three of us on classic skis and one on skate skis), then reversed the entire journey to get home, tired and satisfied. |
