I Was A Homegrown, Salt Lake City, Blond Jean Claude Killy

I love feeling little because the snow piles are big – just like old times, trudging through the gully to Canyon Rim. I wore my waxed and shined-up penny loafers, sporting shiny dimes (instead of pennies), and prepared to make history without knocking out my teeth or sustaining a concussion on the big hill. (Penny loafers were once the original, skinny, short skis with their own home-grown Salt Lake City, blond Jean Claude Killy, in a wake of sparks, snow, and a little music from Milli Vanilli.)
