That season, and for the years to come, she started by hosting a fundraiser to bankroll her upcoming competitions. She said she was surprised by how supportive the people of Park City were of her goals. “I reached out to the community, and they really believed in going after your dreams in the face of adversity,” she said. 6:30-7:45 p.m. Basin Recreation Fieldhouse (655-0999) Drop-in Sports Basketball (age 16 +) Tues. 7:00-9:00 p.m. Basketball (age 16 +) Tues/Thurs Noon-2:00 p.m. Basketball (age 16 +) Sat/Sun 8:00-10:00 a.m. Pickleball (age 16 +) Mon/Wed/Fri 2:00-4:30 p.m. Pickleball (age 16 +) Sun–Friday 8:30 a.m. Noon Volleyball (age 16 +) Thurs. 8:00-10:00 p.m. Soccer (age 16 +) Mon/Wed/Fri Noon -1:30 p.m. Soccer (age 16 +) Wed. 8:00-10:00 p.m. Soccer (age 30 +) Tues 8:00-10:00 p.m. Masters Swim Tues/Thurs Noon-1:00 p.m. A community’s support Dar Hendrickson, a local competitive skiing guru, is one of those supporters.

It’d take him from Boulder down to Pikes Peak before venturing to the Sangre de Cristos, then the San Juans and then north to the Elks. The Sawatch would follow before Simoni headed home to the north, in part through this county’s Tenmile Range, before eventually concluding at Long’s Peak 40 miles from his home. Beforehand, he trained by undertaking such atypical feats of strength as climbing the famous “Freeway” route up Boulder’s Flatiron faces as many times as he could in 24 hours (it turned out to be 20). “But it’s hard to recon for this,” Simoni told the crowd at Wilderness Sports on Wednesday. “You kind of just have to go for it.” So he did. Over the first 30 days of his 60-day trip, things were slow going at times for Simoni. He had scaled 36 mountains by that time. Over that first half of the journey, Simoni encountered some of the most beautiful and most dangerous experiences of his life. The Little Bear-Blanca traverse highlighted the loosescree type climbing he encountered. Am.

I believe in her struggle. I believe in her challenge.” With the help of friends, family and a select group of institutions, including the Park City Masters skiing club, she was able to put together enough money to compete on the World Cup circuit. With her season planned out, she had to call the U.S. Ski Team, which is in charge of securing starting positions for American athletes in international events, to confirm her competitions. Then, she pushed her career into uncharted territory and made it to Sochi in 2014 on her own. “I didn’t necessarily know that it was possible to make the Olympics without being on the U.S. Ski Team,” she said. She walked out into the opening ceremony among the people who would have been her teammates, but was tied to only by nationality and friendship. McJames said the experience was made sweeter knowing all the hard work she had put into the process, and everyone who had supported her along the way. She placed 30th in the giant slalom. The community continued to support McJames each season through last year when she qualified for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, where she took 31st in giant slalom and 36th in slalom. Though she never won a medal on the World Cup circuit or at the Olympics, she said she wouldn’t have done anything differently. “There were definitely times when it was very hard, but looking back I don’t have any regrets,” she said. “All the places I went to, the people I met, I will remember forever, and it was a great journey.” She said it was the messages and support from people in Park City that kept her going during hard times, and to which she is grateful for helping her continue her ski career when others had lost faith. “Everything around you would move too,” he said. Through the Crestones, he rejoiced over the quality rock that made climbing a lot more fun. Then through the San Juans’ mass of mountains formed from an eroded-away volcanic caldera, Simoni found himself resting less and less. He not only had 20 mountains to climb, he also had the painful 12,000- and 13,000plus mountain passes to scale as well. In the San Juans, he had to deal with the apex of terrible monsoon weather at Rio Grande Pyramid. Here he encountered his worst day of the trip. For the trip, Simoni packed light: a 35-degree sleeping bag, a lightweight pouch to put the sleeping bag in, a winter sleeping pad and a tarp. As for food, Simoni fueled himself on his chosen concoction of peanut butter, jelly, chocolate frosting and coconut oil. The former roommate of a pastry chef in Paris, Simoni said his own edible trail magic creation would melt in his mouth “like the finest French pastry.” But while out there in the monsoon conditions, Simoni struggled scaling the 13,000-plus foot Cinnamon Pass several times. To boot, his mountain bike’s front tire rim blew its seal when he hit a jagged “great white shark finlike” rock in the middle of the trail descending to Silverton. The tough conditions caused Simoni to turn into Silverton five minutes past the 9 p.m. deadline time for any food. Without dinner, he began to doubt. “This isn’t even fun,” he thought. With a timetable for nine more peaks in the following five days, though, Simoni countered that depressing thought with another. “Maybe I’ll just try.” So he did. And on deck were Vestal Peak and Jagged Mountain, perhaps the two toughest climbs on his slate. Despite sopping wet conditions that had caused his clothes to “disintegrate” off of him, Simoni trudged along. Through it all, he put himself in position to see the amazing beauty of Upper Ruby Basin on the other side of Chicago Basin. And once he completed Jagged Mountain’s challenge, he thought one thing. “There is nothing that can hold me back now.” Having lost 15 pounds, Simoni next battled through “losing his mind,” as he put it, on Mount Hope to the north. “Hungover from adventure,” he said. After receiving a new pair of shoes in Buena Vista, Leadville became his next hub, a place he’d return to five times while knocking off 21 mountains in a week. Once at Long’s Peak, Simoni had to battle through the howling conditions of neighboring Mount Meeker before finishing atop Long’s in a wet snowstorm. Until that point, he’d suffered no injuries. But on the way down, Simoni managed to slip and twist an ankle. After limping 7 miles down to the trailhead, all that was between him and the finish line was 40 miles atop his bike. Along that homestretch to his cozy bed, Simoni kept thinking one thing to power him through the final dose of pain. “I got one Aleve in my pocket. I’ll make it work.” North Summit 25 25 25 - 3 Springville Timpanogos Results – August 28 South Summit 3, Rowland Hall 1 Results – August 25 Viewmont 2, North Summit 1 North Summit 2, Weber 1 Layton 2, North Summit 0 North Summit 2, Mountain Crest 0 North Summit 2, Roy 0 Standings Region Overall Division 4A Region 11 W L W L Stansbury 1 0 5 4 Tooele 1 0 1 2 Ogden 0 1 1 2 Ben Lomond 0 1 0 1 0 0 3 4 0 0 Park City 0 0 0 2 1 0 Bonneville 3 1 2 1 Division 3A Region 13 0 0 2 0 2 0 South Summit 0 0 2 0 2 0 Morgan Grantsville 0 0 9 6 Summit Academy 0 0 1 1 1 0 Judge Memorial 0 0 1 2 3 0 4 0 Division 2A Region 16 0 0 1 1 3 1 Altamont 0 0 4 5 4 1 North Summit 0 0 1 3 2 0 St. Joseph Duchesne 0 0 0 1 Layton Christian 0 0 0 0 Utah Military 0 0 0 0 Volleyball Division 5A - Region 8 Skyridge 0 0 Results – August 30 Wasatch 0 0 North Summit 3, Cyprus 0 Maple Mountain 0 0 Cyprus 9 7 12 - 0 Provo 0 0 1 2 0 0 Future plans Now that she is retired from World Cup racing, McJames is catching up on other parts of her life. This year she is set to marry her fiancé, Cody Marshall, a retired World Cup slalom skier who now works for a private equity company and coaches skiing in Park City. She also plans to finish her degree at Westminster. In regard to McJames’ retirement, Hendrickson said he was proud of everything she has accomplished, and happy she was leaving the sport on her own terms. “What Americans expect as a standard – they think everyone should be an Olympian, but there’s only four (women’s alpine athletes) every four years, and when you think about what she’s accomplished as far as just getting to the Olympics, it’s amazing,” he said. “It’s amazing.” McJames said she would continue to pursue skiing in other ways and that her retirement is not the result of a waning love of the sport. “I was just dreaming about things other than racing at the end of the year,” she said. “I’m excited to move on to the next chapter.” 0 0 0 1 16.
