Dreaming of Days Like These!

No matter how long the hike, sometimes it's just seven seconds of snowboarding is pure heaven!

   Everyday closer to opening day is one day more that i haven't been snowboarding! No matter how hard i try to enjoy the moment that is Fall in Utah, I still dream of subzero temperatures and deep deep turns. 

    This video was from late March 2015 after a two hour hike we were rewarded to some amazingly step and fast turns. Yeah i know it doesn’t take a lot for this instructor to get excited for snowboarding but the reward at the end of a long hike is ALWAYS the best turns of the day. Hopefully my dreams will soon be real and we can all ride that deep Utah Pow!

Where is my Pre-Season Boarding?

Such Pre-Season Beauty! 

    It’s October 16th and nothing! No snow! Like not a little not any at all! Where is all the pre-season snow? Normally by now we have had a sad attempt at making some kind of backcountry box or rail, but this season hasn't brought anything yet?

    It’s 80 Degrees in Salt Lake right now!  The Farmer’s Almanac says this season is going to be cold and wet. The Local Weather guys are all talking about El Nino 2015 and how this season is going to be epic! Well… how about a little preview to the upcoming season. Yes I know its not even halloween yet and i need to wait but come on! Summer is over, lets ride the greatest snow on earth! 

    You would think being thirty-one years old I would stop acting like a spoiled child wanting to open Christmas presents but you're wrong. I love the snow, I love teaching and I love Utah winters. They can never get here soon enough and they never last long enough. I’m just getting impatient and trying to hold on to memories of seasons past where we were able to get our snow gear out before the resorts open and fill that little void that summer fills us with! The photo Above is from Oct 6th 2011! I don't remember when Brighton opened that year, but doesn’t it just look beautiful! 

    

45 Days til Winter

It's here again, October. That month that isn't summer and most of the time isn't winter. I just count the days until snowing
