William Perry was going to head through Provo Canyon to get home from a day of skiing in Park City. Unfortunately for him, and many others, local authorities turned him around because two avalanches closed the canyon road. This detour would have taken Perry about two and a half hours to get home. But, he did what most of us would only have pondered doing. He ditched his car, geared up, and headed across the pass on his skis.
Again, we all have had this thought a time or two. Also, it would take some backcountry skill to pull this off, so maybe it wouldn't be good for all of us to try it. Having said that, this man got an adventure and extended ski day all to avoid traffic and that is something we can all look up to.
Watch below for a more detailed report including an interview with William Perry and members of the Utah Dept. of Transportation. It's a great story all around.
