Editors Note

My magazine offers readers the opportunity to read about Canyon traffic here in Utah and

how it is affecting us. This project has been something that I have absolutely loved and wish I

could have done more about. I really enjoyed starting from my perspective and then adding

someone close to me to do primary research about my social issue entirely. I think that Utah has

a lot to offer in terms of the outdoors, which is why a lot of people end up moving here or

staying here. I wanted to show readers and anyone who ends up coming across my work how

much I care about the issue of the traffic in the canyons that we have. I hope that anyone who

comes upon my work sees how much I genuinely love to be in the mountains and how much I

love to ski. I also want them to see how much I want to find a solution for the issue that we have

on our hands.

The first thing that you will find in my magazine is my Flash Memoir, which I wrote

about myself. If you end up reading this, you will learn how much being on the mountain means

to me. It truly has become something that, over the years, I have been able to connect with

myself deeply. Growing up as a skier has been something that I have taken the most pride in, and

I feel like I am really able to express that through my memoir. The next thing you will find here

is a Voice recording of the Portfolio that I wrote on Aidan Bleyl. Aidan is also an avid skier who

has recently found himself not able to ski as much due to being a busy student-athlete, but the

traffic situation makes it so he can't go up and ski without risking being late to practice or game

due to the traffic. After that, you will find my Information Effect project, where I was really able

to visually show what is actually happening here in Utah up the canyons and talk about what

people are saying as well as how it is affecting others in Utah. Lastly, you will find my Pursasian

effect project was something that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed how it turned out, and I feel like I
was able to connect with readers. I really wanted people to see how something like the gondola

wouldn't really do much for our problem and would ultimately add even more issues to our

canyon.

This magazine highlights the work that I have done over the past months and is genuine

stuff that I am very proud of. I hope readers are able to connect with it. I hope it will bring some

important information to people quickly. Writing and designing this magazine is something I

had so much fun with, and I think that is due to how much I genuinely connect with the issue. I

hope that anyone who stumbles upon this finds it exciting and leaves feeling like they learned a

little more about how that canyon traffic in Utah is genuinely an issue.
