First Visit to Bonanza Flat Winter Trail System near Park City, Utah
In this Relive summary, I join up with Jason from Haggard Wilderness to enjoy the newest winter trail system in the Park City Utah area up at Bonanza Flat between Empire Pass and Guardsman Pass. As local HOA rules prohibit road access to Bonanza Flat via Twisted Branch Road during winter months, we were able to get on a shuttle during the last day it was offered in 2022. Hopefully, this free shuttle program will return for the spring season if conditions permit.
We learned that each of us uses the same type and size of Rossignol Evo Tour XC ski only with a different mechanical grip on the bottom. My Rossignols have fish scales where as his are skin skis. We both noticed that the skin skis are more likely to slide backward (if the hill is steep enough). This factor may have had something to do with the (adjustable) placement of the bindings on Jason's skis.
