The (Refined) Wild West
NORMAL RULES DON'T APPLY; THE BEAUTY, THE FOOD AND THE ARTS, ARE ALL TURNED UP.
M
uch like its famous owner, Sundance is at once unassuming, yet rugged. Set in a world of its own, Sundance is more than a resort,
it’s a state of mind. For those of us who have ever fancied ourselves both athlete and artist, nature lover and gourmand, Sundance’s beautiful moun- tain setting is the perfect escape. I knew Sundance existed, but only as an idea. The beauty of this place
reveals itself slowly. The long wood walkway leads to the Tree Room, which is famous for both its namesake tree and its four-star food, but the hid- den gem here is the sitting area and library that is filled with the personal book collection of Mr. Redford himself, or “Bob” as he’s called around the property. You can imagine him at home here with his cowboy boots on the coffee table, inviting you to do the same. The art studio on property allows grown-ups and children alike to feed their inner virtuosos. As I entered I realized that of course I could be a print maker, it had obviously always been my destiny and it was only now that I could realize my potential. This snow globe of a resort will convince you that mortal rules no longer exist; here you can ski as if you own the mountain, dine like a king and create the masterpiece the world has been waiting for. To ski Sundance is to experience the sport as the original crazy Norwe- gians must have. Surely it was places like this with its unblemished drifts of snow and expansive views where they drew in deep breaths of pine-scented air and thought: “there must be a way to fly down these hills.” “For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but ski- ing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it’s a complete physical expression of free- dom,” Robert Redford says of the resort he built. —Kim-Marie Evans
