Honeycomb Canyon

My favorite ski loop … from Moonbeam Lodge up Moonbeam lift, down Main Street to Sunrise lift, Summit Access to Summit lift … then through Summit gate into Honeycomb Canyon, along the Honeycomb Cliffs traverse towards Prince of Wales, then dropping into Woodlawn back to Honeycomb Return lift to Gary’s Glade or Sunshine Bowl, [...]

Acres of powder …

Honeycomb Canyon Panorama

… and Honeycomb Canyon was closed due to avalanche danger. Spoke to a couple members of the ski patrol who said that they may be able to open the canyon Monday afternoon, but more likely on Tuesday. Apparently they have about 15 different spots along 5-6 [...]

Crust and dust

Interesting weekend, coming to a close … went out to dinner with a great friend on Thursday night for some yummy goodness at Squatters downtown, then a quiet day at work on Friday.

Saturday was supposed to be a ski day, but unfortunately, the tiny little headache I woke up with on turned into [...]

Fun with iPhone camera apps

Lake Solitude, Lo-Mob Version

One of the fun things about having an iPhone is the various apps available for it … especially some of the camera apps. For example, the top photo is a pretty standard shot of Lake Solitude, taking on [...]

First turns

The first day of skiing each season is always a little on the iffy side … and yesterday was no different.

Headed up to Solitude and could pretty much tell right from the start that it was not going to be a fabulous day when I had trouble getting my boots on. I [...]

Holy crap, it’s cold!

Look … I like winter; I might even go so far as to say that I love winter.

However, this is way too fucking cold for December, and for as little snow that we have on the ground in the mountains right now … neither of which is really conducive to outdoor recreational [...]

Inspiration

If I can become a tenth as good as these guys, then I will consider my ski “career” a success.

Go out and rent or buy this movie. Then watch it over and over and over for inspiration. Then go ski. And then watch it again. Then ski some more. Ski lots more. [...]

Solitude Day #5

I took today (Friday) off work … the weather has been so nice the past few days, and since I didn’t get a chance to ski last weekend due to digestive issues related to a change in diet (8 pounds lost so far!), I was going stir-crazy by Wednesday. Put in for a vacation [...]

Poppin’ the DV cherry …

Oh my God, what an incredible freakin’ day today.

Pal Scotty and I went up to Park City to ski Deer Valley (my first time at any of the Park City resorts) … and I cannot believe how incredible a day it was.

The sky was blue, the sun was out, the temps [...]

Apparel for short, chubby skiers?

Why is it that ski apparel manufacturers seem to think that people fit one particular body type? Seems like all the ski apparel manufacturers think that if you have a 37″ waist, you also have a 35″ inseam … I’m 5’9″, not 6’3″. And if not that, then the manufacturers think that the wearers [...]
