Time to start snapping photos and hitting the record button on that video camera of yours. Ski Salt Lake has launched the Winter Wipeouts & Tricks photo contest.
Up for grabs as the grand prize is a trip to Salt Lake that includes airfare for two, a three-night stay at a Salt Lake hotel and a three-day Ski Salt Lake Super Pass for two.
Aside from the grand prize that I mentioned above, the most viral photo or video winner will get a free pair of Dynastar 8800 skis with bindings. So basically you can post your image to your Facebook profile or your video to YouTube and then pray it takes off like wildfire.
…is one of my favorte spots in Salt Lake Valley to enjoy a Mexican sit down or drive through. Located in Cottonwood Heights, it’s found at a perfect quick-stop spot for adventurers on their way home from the Cottonwood canyons.
Lone Star has received previous praise for its fish tacos and fish burritos. The sauces they use on each menu item is unique and authentic (speaking Spanish helps the ordering process). Ordering chips and salsa is more than just chips and salsa–one has the opportunity to select a preferred salsa from a smorgasbord of salsa recipes. continue reading…
The lake effect in Salt Lake has been in full effect for the last 48!
Snow reports at each resort show 12 or more inches of new snow at 9 of Utah’s 13 ski resorts! And only one resort reported less than 10 inches.
So, pretty much you can go anywhere in Utah this week and expect some serious fluff. Talk about a Merry Christmas. Here’s a full report of the recent dump in Utah:
Snowbird has been open since early November and although there was a dry spell that had some questioning the viability of staying open through the end of November and first bit of December, I’d be willing to bet those drier days were not even closely on the mind of this skier.
Since the video below was shot, another 2 feet of snow has fallen at Snowbird. With a base depth just shy of 6 feet, the skiing and snowboarding conditions at Salt Lake’s four ski resorts keeps getting better and better.
Sure, there are still rocks and other obstacles that can be seen, I’m not going to lie to you. But my guess is that by the time January 1 rolls around next week the coverage will be similar to mid-season. To watch the video… continue reading…
Winter is in full swing and if you’ve got plans to be here during the Holiday’s you may have timed things perfectly. A fast moving storm blew through Utah today adding over a foot of new snow to nearly all of the Cottonwood Canyon Resorts.
Solitude had 9″ by the time 3pm rolled around with more on the way. The weather service is calling for an additional 4″ overnight.
Behind yesterday’s storm is an even bigger one that is set to arrive Christmas Eve and extend well into Friday. And yet another storm is on track to hit us over the weekend. continue reading…
I recall the first time I visited Solitude Mountain Resort. Back then it was just Solitude, and it was just $5 for a lift ticket. ($10 on the weekends). And the skiing? Well, I recall taking runs where it seemed my cousin and I were the only ones on the mountain.
So it was yesterday while taking a break to warm up at the Apex day lodge Last Chance Mining Camp that I struck up a conversation with a gal who like me shared a history with Solitude.
We both agreed that despite the changes that have been made over the years, the edition of the village, the high speed lift, that the feeling of skiing Solitude was as unique as it has ever been. continue reading…
A friend called after skiing at Snowbird today and I couldn’t help but catch a sense of enthusiasm in his voice. He was going on and on about the surprisingly good powder and how abundant it was despite what has seemed to be a lack of snow.
Perspectives are always different when you’re in the Salt Lake Valley where it may only snow an inch or less.
Case in point: This last storm came through but didn’t produce any measurable snow in the valley. However, Snowbird received over 8″, bringing the annual snowfall this season to over 6 feet! continue reading…
