Last winter I was riding a chairlift with Heidi Voelker, former U.S. Ski Team 3 time Olympian and now Deer Valley Ambassador of Skiing and we were talking about Park City skiing.

During my recent summertime visit to Park City I wanted to get a little out of town and up in some backcountry. Knowing that Guardsman Pass connects Park City with Brighton or, if you venture down through Wasatch Mountain State Park it continues down into Midway, I decided to take it the back way.
