Sundance, the un-Park City...

Today, we paid a visit to Sundance resort; a mere 45 minute away from Park City, to unwind in that rustic, authentic mountain retreat that enchanted Robert Redford in the late 50s and pushed him to first buy two acres of land for $500 in 1961 for building a cabin on it, before buying the resort's remaining 5,000 acres from the Stewarts, a sheep-herding family who ran the tiny Timphaven ski area.

Nothing much has changed since that time. Going to the resort takes you four decades back, away from today's glib and snobish Park City, into a world that no longer exists, except of course at this seminal place. We occasionally make this trip into nostalgia and find it soothing to our soul and our modern lives. We only pray that it won't ever change!
