MOUNTAIN TRAILS According to a Mountain Trails Foundation Facebook post from March 31, "Best bets are the south facing trails - Somewhere Elks, Nowhere Elks & Matt's Flat are pretty much bone-dry with just a few tacky sections. I was very surprised to find that Backslide was almost completely dry with the exception of the very top and the steep northwest face. The Rademan Ridge area is also in great shape. Lost Prospector still has quite a bit of snow on the north-facing aspects and will be a while yet. The warm temps and wind today should help speed up the drying process."

The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, April 7-10, 2012 Park City falls in marathon match PCHS boys' LAX squad topped by Brighton in 4OT By CHRISTOPHER KAMRANI The Park Record As Andy Langendorf explained, the difference between good teams and great teams is that great teams find a way to win. His Park City High School boys' lacrosse team is a good team right now, still searching for a way to become a great one, 10 games into the season. That reality was most apparent in Tuesday's 13-12 four-overtime road loss to state powerhouse Brighton. The Miners battled the Bengals from the first face-off, working their way back from an early deficit to tie the score 6-6 at halftime. The two sides continued to trade goal for goal as regular time crept into the first of several overtime periods. "I haven't been in a game that's been that long in many, many years," Langendorf said. "When you get to that point of a fourth overtime, you're at twoand-a-half hours into a lacrosse game. Suddenly, it's just that close of a match, when (Brighton) didn't really expect it to be close at all. You've got to appreciate the pureness of that game on the field. There weren't a lot of mistakes made." In the fourth overtime period, the Miners were whistled for a penalty - a call Langendorf disputed - but the Bengals made the most of Park City's playing a man down and eventually sealed the dramatic victory in front of a packed home stadium. "You walk away from a game like that, the stands are full and it has a feeling of a state championship game," he said. "The stadium was packed, it was noisy, loud … people were screaming and yelling. "The (postgame) message Photo courtesy Judy Winterhalter Park City High School lacrosse goalie Peter Hoburg, shown here against Copper Hills last week, had a memorable performance in a memorable game, stonewalling vaunted Brighton 25 times in a 1312 four-overtime loss on Tuesday afternoon on the road. was ‘We're extremely satisfied with your performance and we're extremely disappointed with the result.' That's where it is. It's tough to go that deep in a game and lose. But you don't have to feel poorly about it. Somebody is going to lose, and unfortunately, it ended up being us." The Bengals, who, Langendorf said have dominated the rivalry with the Miners, didn't expect the fight they got from Park City. "Their coach came to me and said, ‘We heard you guys were good, but we had no idea you were this good,'" Langendorf said. "It works, it's a nice compliment, but now we don't have the luxury of rolling in as the underdog. People know who we are now." Park City had a number of players chip in offensively. Three goals came from Rufus Frost, two each from Bennet Jonas, Jake Gutman and Colin Roberson, and one each from Chris Boland, Christian Pompoco and Carson Dutkanych. "If you look at goal production, teams out there are aware Park City has ability to score goals," Langendorf said. Park City's first-year head coach singled out senior goalie Peter Hoburg, who stopped 25 shots on goal, as the team's star of the four-overtime afternoon. "The guy was unconscious in the net," Langendorf said. "You couldn't ask for a more elevated game than he played. (Brighton's) goaltender was exactly the same. It was almost as if it was a battle of those guys." Now that Park City has proven to the state's elite that is it no pushover, the Miners must work on more than moral victories. Langendorf said that will be the message as the schedule continues to toughen. In order to do that, he said, the Miners must cultivate a certain clutch mentality. "That's a psychological thing," Langendorf said. "My take on that is you've got players in those clutch situations that want to be that guy who wants to score that goal. We need to develop that." |
