ST SUV Experience – Park City Utah
Warning : Long and picture heavy post.
Check-in 5:15 pm MT at the Hyatt Centric Park City : I was just in time after a long drive from Zion NP.
Park City reception dinner from 6:00 pm, MST. My car was the only one left in the circle when we came back after dinner.
Check-in 8:00 am and Morning briefing with vehicle allocation.
Street drive to Soldier Hollow : Two groups, each takes a different route to the Soldier Hollow. Amazing drive experience.
Driver switch at mid-way point. Could see the snow at the top of the mountains.
All together after reaching Soldier Hollow facility.
Vehicle control exercises (Trail drive). Was very mild off-roading and anyone can do it.
View from the top of trail. Need to mention again, the whole experience is set up in a beautiful location. Heber Valley view.
All the cars in our group
Our car #20, covered in dust from the completed trail drive.
Lunch at Soldier Hollow
Evasive Exercises : I tried lower than 25 mph, 25 mph and higher than 25 mph in my three attempts, respectively. Didn't hit any cones.
Pre-Collision Exercises : I sent the balloon car flying in my first try, as I hit 32 mph, where one is supposed to hit 20 mph.
ST AutoX - I got to drive 5 fun rides and 1 timed run, as wife did not wanted to do this. She did everything else.
Parking near Biathlon Experience
Biathlon Shooting Experience : my score - Large target 5/5 and Small target 1/5. Instructors are athletes training for next winter Olympics.
Return drive to Hyatt Centric.
(Left) Location, the group assemble before the drive back. (Middle) AutoX time. I came second, missed prize of unspeakable value (Right) Grand Summit Hotel lobby, where we sent our toddler for daycare.
Program complete and my ST leaving the hotel. I took my ST in the same drive route again in the evening and stayed in Heber valley that night.
Odometer at 1500 miles with 21.5 mpg. I was mostly in Eco mode, constantly at 10% above speed limits on adaptive cruise control , lot of idling with temperatures hitting110F outside.
Thinking about going back again and may be drive till Yellow stone this time.
