    I'm back!

    Hey JimG! I read Andy Z's Mt Snow trip report. Looks/sounds like you guys had a great meet-up. This is one of those times when we could use some of that white stuff out west. Alta/Snowbird just announced a delay of their scheduled opening. We gotta find a way to bend that jet stream a...

    Took The Plunge - New Gear

    I considered "bending" those babies, but I'm afraid heating them might damage the non-metallic parts. Also, I really don't like the idea of them sticking out at an angle and catching on stuff when I try to walk. Skins? I simply forgot to buy them. Do you know of any sources/brands, other...

    Lack of Snow in UT

    Hey, Pajarito-Bred, how did your stuff get to Colorado? Did Scotty and his crew "beam" you there with his transporter? I agree, it was looking good a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the CA wildfires did it!

    Lack of Snow in UT

    The "Snow Gods" must have discovered that I moved to UT this past year. I'm sorry everybody. :(

    Took The Plunge - New Gear

    I cracked open the old wallet today and bought a pair of "Black Diamond Verdicts" in the 170cm length. Their dimensions are: 132mm-102mm-118mm and they weigh in at 8lbs 3oz. I am having a pair of "Silvretta Pure" AT bindings mounted on these boards. I need to find a pair of 100mm wide brakes...

    Favorite Runs in Utah

    Twisted, I can't really advise you about where to ski, since I just moved to UT this past spring. However, I have been flying out to ski once or twice a season since 2000. Therefore it is hard for me to understand how you could have lived here for the past six years and not skied all the...

    SLC - stay in Sandy or Downtown?

    Susan and Peter H (Tirolerpeter) heartily agree with Marc C.. Susan doesn't go near snow, but definitely works her way through restaurants. One of the reasons she was willing to move to Draper UT with me was that she wouldn't wither away from the lack of decent dining opportunities. BTW, take...

    SLC - stay in Sandy or Downtown?

    I agree with SkiDog and Admin. Stay in Sandy with the kids. There are nice restaurants like Market Street Grill , Buca Di Beppo, and Joe's Crab Shack that you can take the kids to (besides the chains mentioned). BTW, Buca and Joe's are chains but don't feel like they are. Also, most of the...

    Alta, UT 10/6/07 - Day One, baby!

    The Missus and I had dinner with Marc C., Karen, and Bob D. tonight. Bob was definitely looking a little "droopy eyed." But, he was also feeling really happy about the day he had with you and SkiDog. He too said you could have used some steeps considering the character of the snow. But then...

    Season's first snows reach Utah

    I live on the South Mt. "Bench" and I can see the top of Lone Peak from my kitchen window. It is now 3:10 PM and sunny but there is still snow visible at the top!

    Need new skis and bindings

    OK guys, I just bought the "Alta-Bird Season Pass" (I was up at Snowbird yesterday with a visiting nephew and took him up the Tram.) and now I am in the market for a new pair of skis and bindings. So firstly, where are the best local (I now live in Draper, UT) sources for good deals? And...

    Backpacking in Alta/Brighton sidecountry, UT

    Breathtaking as usual Marc! Thanks for the views. I have traveled extensively throughout the European Alps over the years. The Wasatch and the Rockies in general are equally magnificent!

    Breaking news: ASC to sell The Canyons

    To be surprised I would need to know something about the buyer. Will this be a good or bad thing for The Canyons?
