Fox 13 News Utah spoke with the couple about their matching gear, and their goal to ski 3 million vertical feet this season.
The couple is already at 1.6 million vertical between Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort!
‘3 million vertical feet’Â sounds like a high number itself, but breaking down the number of runs and time needed to complete the feet is even more impressive.
