From time to time I have been known to share killer deals from online ski shops. This is one of those times. With the Thanksgiving weekend underway, outdoor stores from around the web are offering...

I did not know Jamie very well, but I felt compelled to post about him. Our LCC paths crossed here and there but now, based on some of the things I have read over the last few days, I wish I had...

Teton Gravity Research premiered their new film, “One for the Road,” last Saturday in Jackson, WY. Here is the play-by-play. I went to a premier up in Jackson once before, but considering it was...

You may have seen “Lucid” logos on bikes or cars lately around Park City, Utah. Lucid Cycles was started by my friend Kris, and he has been building handmade steel mountain bikes and custom 29ers...

Over the course of our cold, rainy and snowy spring I watched the dedicated crew from Progressive Trail Design work on the new trails at Trailside Bike Park here in Park City, Utah. We pretty much...

One of these years I’ll be back to getting maximum LCC powder in one season. For some perspective, that’s around 20-40 days. For further perspective, keep in mind that 8″ of low density snow at...

From the comment thread @YouTube… “the definitive version of this song”

…from the documentary The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made is Black Belt Jones, and here is the intro. Hope it lightens your day a bit, as it did for me

Be merry, and ask Jah for more snow! From our wee cabin in the Uintas, to your home wherever that may be, enjoy the season.

Here is some cool Sage POV of a random lap at the bird early 2010…he’s following Matt C.

Last year there was an exceptional winter snowpak throughout southern Utah. They were getting pounded with storm after storm while we all drooled over their fortunes up north in the Wasatch. This...

Let me give you an idea of what we’ve been up to in Little Cottonwood since the last post. BIG GRIN This is Johnny B on The Daily POW…and you can tell just how cold it was that day by the silence,...

It’s been blustery Graupel all day long at our place on the Wasatch Back. Alta is probably already in the thick of it, and this one is going for at least another two three days with a major change...

Met up with Jesse and Johnny for skiing and lunch on opening day. The skiing was surprisingly good, although it was difficult to get to the good skiing. Just had to turn yourself into a bag of...

…from the film “We Got That Fiyo” of the Festival International 2010 event in Lafayette, Louisiana. It’s Love Time

This is already a classic… Zach Galifianakis on Bill Maher smoking weed on national TV

…from our family to yours And enjoy all that fresh POW in Little Cottonwood! We have 6-8 inches at the house but it’s looking like upper LCC got around 40.. Personalize funny videos and birthday...

Last November I posted a clip of Vintage Alta Powder that Mark Johnson originally posted to YouTube and then AltaCam. Folks loved it! In fact it’s still in the top 5 Google results for the search...

I have always considered myself to be at least somewhat compassionate, patient and tolerant. Lately I have been even more conscious of these personal attributes, ever since I subscribed to a daily...

“Is peace and love too much to ask?” Here is a soothing seven minutes with “Jeb & Them” @Grassroots, 2010.

Lotsa really good footage and scenery from around the state. Nice work rukusaki and great music from Codi Jordan..

My suggestions is to watch the entire 7:53. Makes for a good (and angry) music fix…at least for me it did. Love the extended Jeb solo. If You Only Could

Missing Ithaca…Arthur jogged my memory tonight of some good times with Sim Redmond Band. The title of this post is an excerpt from the comment thread on the YouTube clip TRAIN SONG

I have been watching this short YouTube clip go viral around the web over the past four days. It’s an episode that played out on the Alta transfer tow. When I first saw it less than a week ago,...

Well actually, it’s been over a month since I’ve posted here. Sorry, I always seem to do this. Get bogged down with a busy stretch of work, or as the case this time, with major life events like...

Recently I was psyched to get my hands on a couple of Discrete Ski Caps, thanks to Julian (Julian’s Blog). I’m wearing one of them right now at the office…the Red Banger. Julian and team certainly...

That’s what Ellie kept yelling at the top of her lungs on her first day skiing from the chair lift, last Monday February, 15th 2010. She rode up Sunnyside lift at Alta three times. She was between...

Haven’t even finished watching this in full yet, but felt compelled to post. Keepin’ it real as always. Gotta LOVE Donna the Buffalo. Aside from family and friends, they may be the most influential...

How about a gasp for the current Little Cottonwood Canyon snowpak? The first photo below is courtesy of Spencer Wheatley on Facebook… although he points out that he didn’t take the photo. Here is...

New teaser vid clip of some sorts from Julian.. best watched with sound.
