In the summer of 1990, Todd Stuart built a hut high in the mountains of northern Utah. Buried in snow for half the year, he has endured the phenomenal challenges inherent to his choice. His choice required him to ski, bike and hike back and forth six miles to the local ski area where he worked. In order to pay child support on ski patroller wages, it was impossible to live conventionally. Eighteen years later, he still lives there, he's still alive, and this is his story.
