As winter settles in for the Northern hemisphere and the holiday season is just around the corner, we thought we would head to a ski resort for the last tall story of the year.
And what better than Deer Valley Resort, where typical American grandeur is on display throughout this man made landscape?
You're listening to Tall Stories, a monocle production brought to you by the team behind the Urbanist.
I'm Andrew Tuck.
In this episode, Jessica Bridger straps on her skis and takes us up the mountain in Utah.
I want to tell you a fairy tale about the vaster wilds.
But it's real.
This is a story in three parts.
Part 1 Once Upon a Time, you're floating in an outdoor hot tub on the covered balcony of your hotel room.
There's snow falling just beyond the roofline.
You're at high altitude in Utah, 2,500 meters.
You're in a lodge.
The word lodge speaks volumes.
A refuge, log cabins.
The American west manifests destiny.
A big wilderness.
Seldom anyone encountered the vaster wilds.
Places you can actually get lost in.
But this is luxury.
This is the Stein Ericsson Lodge.
