Sundance - Jan 16th

Dear

I am sitting in the Park City Library and typing these words. It has been very cold here in Utah with the temperature dropping to -20 degrees. On Saturday, we headed out to Victor's place for the night. He lives in a yurt with his wife and they let us stay overnight while they were down in Texas. We skied up the snowy hill with our sleeping bags. They get electricity from solar panels and we were able to put on some music on their stereo. We played poker by the furnace.

The next morning we did some powder skiing down the slope that victor owns. It was a clear beautiful day. Afterwards, we snowmobiled. We were probably running at about 20miles per hour but it felt pretty fast out in the cold winter. We had lost control at the T section and fell off. My Canon is registering E18 - intractable lenses - and I am going to fix it during the day.

Today was my second day at work at SLC. I am working with a surprisingly diverse staff. A Slovakian-American, a Scandinavian-American, a Wyoming local, an Indian, and many more. While they work busily, I don't feel much stress so far. It would change soon as the festival kicks in and people start flowing in from LA and New York.
