In the past 48 hours, Little Cottonwood Canyon has been pummeled by over 36 inches of snow. Not just any snow, but the first big storm of the year, that brought the light and deep Utah powder that this state is famous for. Just over a week ago, Snowbird and Alta barely had any snow, as you can see in our blog from Snowbird below. By this morning Alta had more snow that they knew…

My ribs have been hurting me lately, so I thought I would share the worst day of skiing I’ve ever had in my life. What you are about to read took place on April 9th, 2008 at Snowbird, a little over 6 months ago.
Wednesday the 9th was just another epic April powder day at The Bird…until I crushed a tree at over 30mph. I was stoked that morning because the last two days had…

Living in Utah provides a unique and incredible lifestyle that often goes overlooked by those passing over our state and heading straight for Colorado. However, nestled between the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast and the incredible 14,000 foot Rocky Mountains in Colorado, hides the Wasatch Range. Blanketing the Wasatch Mountains in the Winter, Utah boasts the world’s lightest snow. In the Summer, we have the fresh mountain air, plentiful mountain biking trails, and access…

October in Park City means that each and every day is mixed with hints of Winter and Summer. A few days ago I woke up to 3 inches of snow on my door step, yet today was in the low 70′s. The smell of wet summer grass is quickly fading away and will soon be replaced with the crispness of jack frost. I’m looking forward to leaving behind lazy summer mornings and 90 degree heat.…

One of my favorite Park City restaurants is located where the old Texas Red’s used to be, and luckily, serves similar BBQ and Seafood entrees. Bandits Grill & Bar is about a 1/4 mile up Main Street on the left, just past the post office. They have an excellent variety of burgers, ribs, salmon, salads, and mouth watering side-dishes.
I decided to take Kevin to Bandits last Tuesday for his birthday and we had a…

After living on the road for a month, and eating out three times a day, you can’t imagine how good it feels to be in your own bed with access to your own kitchen. Kevin and I had an incredibly successful trip and collected more information than we know what to do with. We should have the restaurant guides for Colorado up and running by November, just in time for your winter vacation planning.

Like every individual ski destination sprinkled across Colorado, Steamboat offers something a bit different that its neighbors. Imagine someone sticking a little piece of Texas in the Rockies and infusing it with an old west laid back feeling. Now toss some ski bums, ranchers, hippies, and cowboys in the mix and discover what Steamboat is all about.

We pulled in on Friday and were greeted by our hostess, Emily. Emily and her husband run The…

On Friday morning we packed up the car and hit the road. We made a quick stop at Keystone to take some pictures, and then headed to Berthoud Pass.
Berthoud Pass is the U.S. 40 route that traverses and climbs the continental divide. The pass is the quickest way to the Fraser Valley, where Winter Park lays. It is also known as a popular backcountry ski destination because of its awesome snow, steep terrain and…

By Wednesday morning, Kevin and I had completed all of our business needs in Breckenridge and decided to investigate the rest of Summit County. On the road connecting Breckenridge and Dillon sits a trail head and a small parking lot. Since it was such a nice day out, we thought we would take a quick walk and snap some photos of Lake Dillon Reservoir. While walking on the trail, a girl heading back to her…
