First Chair of the 2009-2010 Season
— Posted by Krista on November 21, 2009
Opening day was a huge success thanks to the hard work of the entire Park City Mountain Resort team. Our slope maintenance team did a fantastic job ensuring that the open runs had excellent conditions. Plus, our terrain park crew built what many were calling the "best opening day park ever!"
The morning started off really early for those who wanted the honor of being on the first chair. Interested in being on the first chair for the 2010-2011 season? This year's "first chair team" has some advice:
And in case you are interested. Here's a video showing "How to turn a six-pack chairlift into a seven-pack lift". It's pretty comical:
If you were up here today, I'd love to hear what you thought of opening day conditions.
Krista,
Thanks for saving for posterity the advanced skills of old guys getting in lift chairs "properly". Kids, don't try this until you have a lot more experience! Tom gave a beautiful demonstration of how to do it! As an aside, the snow was surprising good – after we finally got to it.

Krista replies:
I think it was Tom's way of saying "I don't have to get here at 5 am to be on one of the first chairs..." It certainly made for a great video. Glad you agree. It is always great to see you on the slopes...and in Legends. Here's to another great season. See you soon.
