Sundance, Utah, remains more low-key since Provo Canyon does not receive as much snow as nearby Big or Little Cottonwood Canyons. Still, it is one of the most aesthetically pleasing ski areas in North America, and an excellent day area.
It's somewhat ironic that the Sundance Film Festival of 100k+ attendees has now outgrown Park City, UT, in the slowest part of the ski season in late-January, and is relocating in Boulder, CO.
Robert Redford and His Beloved Utah Canyon
The actor, who died on Tuesday at 89, spent much of his life working to preserve the serene natural beauty of Utah, even as his Sundance Film Festival brought Hollywood glamour to the state.
......
In 2020, the resort was sold to investors with the proviso that more than 1,500 acres of its land would remain undeveloped. Mr. Redford set aside an additional 1,200 acres of his own land, which will remain wild.
Residents say wildlife remains plentiful in the canyon, including elk, moose, bobcat, and beaver. Natural springs feed a mountain stream filled with rainbow trout.
The legacy of the conservation efforts will be felt for many generations, Ms. Mack said: “People are able to hike on lands that Robert Redford and his family have preserved. And they will be able to access those lands — forever.”
