Chad Limbaugh reveals Sundance's surprising Provo origins

Chad Limbaugh, president and general manager of Sundance, addressed a recent government meeting, sharing insights about the resort's history and its connection to Provo. Limbaugh, who has been with Sundance since 1994 and became general manager in 2006, highlighted the significant snowfall this season, noting that the resort has received 260 inches of snow, the highest amount recorded at this point in the year.

During his speech, Limbaugh expressed gratitude to Provo Mayor Michelle Kafusi for her support, emphasizing that although Sundance is technically outside Provo, the mayor has embraced it as part of the community. He revealed that the origins of Sundance are tied to Provo, a fact that many may not know, and hinted at a deeper story that he planned to share.

Limbaugh also reflected on his experiences working with Robert Redford, whom he considers a mentor. He recounted a memorable moment when Redford discussed the film \"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,\" particularly the unexpected success of the song \"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head,\" which he initially thought was a misstep in the film.

As Limbaugh continues to serve on various boards, including the Utah County Tourism Tax Board and Ski Utah, he remains committed to promoting the unique culture and beauty of the Sundance area, which he described as picturesque, set against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains.
