Sundance neighborhoods...

Yesterday, we made our traditional trip to Sundance resort, that is about 45 minutes away from Park City. We hadn't been there for at least a couple of years and after strolling around the base lodges, shopping the general store and eating an ice cream at of its restaurants, we hiked up the ski runs and found ourselves walking on Steward Road, which stands as the central nerve of an entire wooded subdivision, we had no idea existed.

This neighborhood goes back to the mid 70s and is populated from homes, which for the most part, where built in that era.  They now sure look their age and for the most part are in a state of advance aging that makes the place look dated like no other American ski resort I know of.

Frozen in time! This perhaps is exactly what Robert Redford had in mind for his very special, pristine mountain resort. Yet, while I sometime love the “good old days,” there's a larger part of me that inhabits the present, the future and a life creeping up towards some modernity. I like to see things evolve organically and I'm not so sure I'm still such a big fan of that aging Sundance that's getting a bit decrepit...
