"Red Neck" adventure! Ski or board down and jump in a truck and do it again. I was seriously giggling the whole time. You can't beat FREE! Just 1 1/2 hr from Lehi.
Drive - Head up to the top of Fairview Cyn just past the Skyline Drive parking lot. Drop off location is next to an 8% grade sign (facing the other direction) - drop off skiiers/boarders on the rt. Pick up location is downhill, back down canyon, across the street from the "Turnaround 1/4 mile". Turn around at the actual Turnaround and then pick up skiiers and boarders on the right.
Activity -
Downhill Ski or Snowboard - Snowboarders will notice a 10-15 ft manmade hill they can start from. The first 1/3 of the run is slightly downhill through a meadow. Stay left to keep to larger and wider runs. If you go straight, you will hit smaller, more narrow tree runs. This section is a Blue rating. Some rails also. If you head left or right make sure you head back to make it to the vehicles. Too far right and there is a 15 ft cliff. See map below.
Sledding - we did have a couple people try sledding. It's tricky, but doable and kinda out of control :)
Gear -skis/poles/boots or snowboard, helmet (can rent), thin liner pants, thin long sleeve shirt, ski pants, ski coat, hat, gloves, goggles, hand warmers, snacks gaiters (optional - can rent), (NO COTTON) thermal top and bottom, wool socks or just not cotton socks, snow pants, long sleeve fleece, light waterproof jacket, gloves, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.
