As the Powder House Ski @Facebook person would say.. “If you’re not here for Alta in April, well, you’re blowing it. Check out the full event line up!” (for example) Click the image below. Nice work on that Alta Chamber & Visitors Bureau…tons of info on this page:

Gary M — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:34:44 +0000

Early this ski season I was contact by Mary Palmer who also lives here in Park City. She found this blog, noted we had two young kids, and offered to send us a copy of her children’s ski book: Safely Ski from A to Z

I have to say a big THANK YOU to [...]

Avalanche Footage Favorites

Gary M — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:18:43 +0000

Today at work we swapped around YouTube avi footage that’s been getting around social media as of late…at least in my neck of the Interwebs. I decided to post three. They are all impressive to say the least. The lift carnage in two of them is #badass (St Francois-Longchamp & Chimbulak respectively), but my [...]

Vapor Light Winter Style

Gary M — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:11:23 +0000

There are some memorable summer sunsets tucked away in my head. I have surely been touched the same way in winter months, but since I moved to Utah in ’98 the June/July sunsets stand out to me. If you’re a fan of day turning to night, then you have it made here.

On Friday, [...]

Generation Alta

Here is a good one from Salomon Freeski TV. It’s about five minutes long, featuring some LCC local shredders who have been Alta pass holders since they were very small children. Fluid, natural, powder skiing…worth a watch.

From time to time I have been known to share killer ski deals from ski shops. This is one of those times. With the Thanksgiving weekend underway, outdoor stores from around the web are offering plenty of opps to save. I am not going to put the ads in your face here, but [...]

Jamie Pierre

I did not know Jamie, 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 the opportunity to know him better.

A down to earth guy who valued [...]

One for the Road

Gary M — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:23:57 +0000

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 almost a decade ago I couldn’t tell you which of their films it was that I saw. That was a [...]

Lucid Cycles – Custom Mountain Bikes

Gary M — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 20:21:12 +0000

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 for a few years now… made to order, made to shred.

I do not own a Lucid, YET. But [...]
