Emmett “Bud” Wright

In 1920 Emmett “Bud” Wright made his living skiing, but not as a ski patrolman or ski racer. Bud worked as a lineman for the local telephone company, traveling the mountains surrounding Park City on his 10 foot-long, handmade skis, repairing the phone lines. When Bud broke one of his skis, he was forced to use skis of two different lengths because, unlike today, no ski shops existed to purchase a new park. This sculpture is the work of Utah artist Peter Fillerup. Sponsored by Alan and Carol Larson, it was dedicated by the Park City Museum on October 16, 2009, for the enjoyment of the community. 📍 [Park City, UT](https://scaniver.se/L40.64449,-111.49616)
