They began at Brian Head at 5 in the morning and ended at Beaver Mountain at 8 in the evening.
The 13 team members drove over 550 miles in the 16 hours it took to complete the mission.
It was a bit of a publicity stunt for Utah as the resorts hoped to show how accessible they are, but even so it was quite an achievement and the first time it has been done.
Mind you they had the co-operation of the all the resorts as some opened early and others kept the lifts open specially.
Nevertheless it was quite a logistical achievement. And as well as a skiing feat it was quite a driving one too!
