The Almighty Bolo

The other day I went skiing with my padre, he was in town for two days and we decided to go to Deer Valley Ski Resort. I had told him before about the power of the Bolo Tie, but he got to witness it first hand. I will back up a smidge, by working for the City of Park City we are entitled to number of privileges. One such privilege is that we are able to check out ski passes to different resorts. The pass for Deer Valley is a Bolo Tie. I did a little bit of research on these unique passes and found out that the only way to get one is to have property in DV (multi million dollar homes) or you can straight up buy one for five grand and it acts as a season pass, but fancier. So when the lifties and other DV employees spot a Bolo they believe that you are some kind of high roller. It is oodles of fun for me. So, there we are, skiing the day away when padre loses one of the baskets on his pole. Since we are staying off of the groomers it is kind of important to have one of those. So we ski down to the nearest ski check and I take the pole in, I kindly ask if they have an extra basket lying around (flashing Bolo as obviously as possible) and the next thing you know they have three guys working on finding one! In a matter of minutes we were back on the lift laughing about our good fortune. All in all it was a grand day!
And if you think I'm kidding that it is an actual Bolo Tie, here is the proof.
