Learn the history of recreational skiing in the Wasatch with Wasatch Mountain Club.
Before there were ski resorts in Utah, there was the Wasatch Mountain Club. Established in 1920, Wasatch Mountain Club was formed by a group of Norwegian ski-jumpers who’d traverse Guardsman Pass on foot, seeking out the legendary powder & extensive backcountry where Brighton Resort exists today. Hear from ski historian Alexis Kelner about the legacy of the club at 100, and where it’s going next.
