Snowbasin Pow

Last year on Martin Luther King day, which was of course a Monday, we went to Snowbasin and nailed it. NAILED IT. I still had not gotten past that day last year as one of the best of all time, until this past Monday…when we nailed it yet again at one of [...]

The wee one rips

Today was Ellie’s 1st time riding chair lifts! We had a great family ski day. At Alta she rode Collins x2, Sunnyside and Sugarloaf. She was definitely into the experience. Base temp was around 38 degrees today, peaks at around 30. Sun was in full force. In fact we bought a mini sun screen [...]

Dats right..

Some cool turns behind our house in Timberlakes. Made for a great series of photos. Looks like real nice powder…

Swany Ski Gloves and Me

First Pow Day Lap at Alta

There is nothing like it, and I for one feel incredibly privileged to have been able to [...]

Weather Watching from NY

That’s right. I’m in Ithaca, NY through the holidays. And then I have to go away for a while early next month for work. I won’t be back in Little Cottonwood until mid January. Oh well…

At any rate, I’m here at my folks Wasatch weather watching. Altafarians, how does this read to you?

Sunny Saturday at Alta

Yep we circumnavigated the Wasatch Mountains last weekend for some early season ski riding at Alta. We all had a great day. It was a lot easier to take turns this season with Ellie, now that she’s older. In fact it was nice and sunny so we brought her Flexible Flyer sled and she got [...]
