A Meeting of Mad Men – Aug 27th
Oh man have I been a bad little blogger..! Nothing new for weeks, well OK, months. We have been putting an addition on our house which was suppose to be quick and easy, but of course it spawned a whole slew of other upgrades that have consumed most of my summer. Hopefully the end is […]
Backcountry Wedding
I’ve never gotten bored with skiing as it seems like some new twist on the theme always shows up and keeps my interest alive (that plus it is just fun). But, I don’t think I ever would have anticipated our trip to Iceberg Lake in the Wrangell-St.Elias Mountains to turn out quite the way it […]
The Big LePowSki ~ Feb 25-27, Brighton
Mai oui, The Big LePowSki is rolling into Salt Lake City Feb 25-27 to set up pins and knock’em down until they go click at Brighton. This is the second annual gathering of TBLP, and last year was a blast. The format is pretty simple – ski/ride & party, but not necessarily in that order. […]

Steve has been one of my favorite skiing writers since his days at Powder, and the upshot of the seminar was that print isn’t really dying so much […]
OR Show through Sunday

One-Stop Wasatch Snow & Condition Info
Twenty years ago when I moved back to Utah and started touring in earnest, one of the first people I ever went out skiing with was a Park City local named Chris Larson. Since then, Chris has had the wisdom to leave Park City before it became, uhm, what it is now, and moved up […]
