"Gorgonzola" Park

We've passed Gorgoza Sledding Park (part of Park City Mountain Resort) many a times on our way to Park City, but never stopped. Needing a conveyor belt to take you back up the hill after you come down seemed... sissy to me. Plus, I'm a little cheap. Paying to go sledding? And isn't part of sledding in the winter having to hike yourself right back up the mountain. That's how you stay warm, right?

But then New Year's Day was coming up and our family and some good friends were looking for something fun to do -- with all our kids, ranging in ages from 11to18 -- that we'd never done before. So, we decided to try it out. And I'll tell you what... I've decided that sledding is all about going up and down the runs as many times as your can, so if you need to pay to use a machine to do that, so be it. It's worth the money, I've decided.

Perfect way to start the New Year. Beautiful day, out of the smog, and the temp could not have been better.

"Dopey" clearly wasn't worried about her ears getting cold. And for some reason, saying Gorgoza Park was difficult, so she renamed the park Gorgonzola Park.

cutest google squished cheeks ever.

You just stand there and hold your tube. A few minutes later, you're to the top. Genius! Chris and his buddy were trying to figure out how to raise the capital for a sledding park like this in Logan.

If you want to go to the very top, you just hop on your tube and get pulled up. Use caution getting on your tube, otherwise, your head might end up in the Resort worker's groin, which would be highly embarrassing. But I'm sure that doesn't happen to everyone -- just me!

It's a bit of a drive from our house to Park City, and it was a little pricey, but certainly a family event that we should repeat yearly.
