Snowbird

A. Very steep resort. Besides it's steepest run, "Great Scott", it has a run named "Barry Barry Steep" to prove it.

B. Exactly five hundred flakes for the Bird's 5OO inch average.

C. Snow over your knees, yet your knees are still visible, made possible by the Bird's impossibly light snow.

D. Bend in the skier's arm mimics the tunnel to Mineral Basin, the only ski tunnel in America, aka the "BassHole".

E. Recently updated, the iconic aerial trams have been running since the resort opened.

F. Letters imitate the exposed concrete of the Brutalist style architecture. Simple shapes to mimic the late 60's Minimalism design trend that shaped the Snowbird's look and signage.

G. The Cliff Lodge's geometric summer grass roof and huge triangular rooftop hot tub.

H. Three avalanches destroyed the old mining town. They still occasionally close the canyon. A plus if you are already up here in one of the concrete lodges.

I. Seven steps for founder Dick Bass being the first man to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.

J. Opened in 1971 thanks to the vision of co-founder Ted Johnson after which the run "Regulator Johnson" is named.
