Harbin Sledding Hill Multi-Cache

Having lived in Texas until a few months ago, neither Miss Pumpkin nor Curly Tiger had ever seen enough snow to go sledding on - until a couple of weeks ago. This cache commemorates their first sledding experience.

Phrase on the plaque:

Use the 3-word phrase to determine U, V, W, X, Y, and Z:

U=letter #9,
V=letter #8
W=letter #16
X=letter #2
Y=letter #12, and
Z=letter #8

Once you have U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, use the decryption key to get the coordinates:
