A Day in the Canyon

Headed up to Solitude today, but the legs were a bit noodly, so I took it easy; a few runs on the front side, then a nice run through Honeycomb Canyon, dropping from the lower traverse below Prince of Wales Mine … then stopped at a few pullouts on the way back down the canyon [...]

Resolution News

What a year, and while part of me is glad that it’s over, another part of me is thrilled by what I accomplished and is really looking forward to continuing to grow in 2011.

How did you do on your resolutions for 2010? If you will recall from last year’s post, my resolutions were as [...]

Best run of the day, from the top of Summit lift through Honeycomb Canyon, up Honeycomb Return, then drop to the Roundhouse for some good potato-cheddar soup.

Another season, almost done …

Another ‘cross season come and almost gone … tomorrow is the last race of the 2010 Utah Cyclocross Series (or at least, the last race in which participants can gather points towards the series title).

Monday is the last day of what is technically still autumn … with the winter solstice (and thus, the [...]

Thanksgiving

Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

I continue to rediscover my love for the bicycle, and while my mileage still isn’t where it was several years ago, I was on track to match (and likely surpass) my 2009 mileage, and [...]

Hie thee to High West!

If you live in Utah, and have yet to visit High West Distillery and Saloon in Park City, then hie your ass there ASAP for food and drink.

I first heard about High West in late 2008 when I saw a bottle of their Rendezvous Rye whiskey at the State Liquor Store … a couple [...]

First Vancouver, now the Tour of Utah?

I’m not sure when I started following the stereotypical Utah trait of claiming anyone with even the remotest connection with the state as one of our own. Hell, I’m not even sure when I started thinking of myself as a Utahn (in addition to being from both a Northern Californian and a Tennesseean).

Regardless, it’s [...]

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, back [...]

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 routes [...]

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 a [...]
