  • Canyons – Day 6

    Day 6 after a short Cross Country interlude was our final day boarding in Utah. We decided to mix it up and head over to Canyons. The weather forecast was SNOW all day (up to 10 inches) and there was already 4 inches on the ground. Park City was effortless for buying tickets but Canyons…

  • Park City – Day 5

    Day 5 started out super lazy. We were gonna go to Canyons but the group consensus was to do nothing at all for a while. The day off included a ton of computer time…  Then we decided why not go cross country skiing?! We rented skis and boots and did a 5k around the golf…

  • Park City – Day 4

    Day 4 of Park City gave us a few more inches of snow. This day was completely dedicated to Adventure Alley runs. We completed all of the Adventure Alley runs on the mountain! Each one is demarcated by a little metal monster. I put together a string of runs during breakfast and then we went…

  • Park City – Day 3

    Day 3 of Park City brought us a few inches of snow! We started right as the lifts opened up (or just a few minutes behind) and headed straight to the Powder Monkey “Adventure Alley” section on the back side of the mountain. This is a tree filled gully full of little dips and whoops that…

  • Park City – Day 1

    Day 1 in Park City was excellent. The sun was shining, there had been a touch of snow the day before, and we set out to explore the mountain. We got a bit of a late start because the trip felt very last minute for a lot of people. We needed the morning half of…

  • Airplane Post – Utah Bound

    I’m bound for Park City Utah with Brendan, Anneka, Kenneth, Peter, Paul, and Dave (who I haven’t met yet (or is it whom?)). The flight from ATL to SLC seems to take forever. So long that I was suckered into buying 90 minutes of Internet for $12 dollars. This is ridiculous. I know it to…

    A quick post from the slopes.

  • URL protocol specifier

    Woah – why didn’t anyone tell me I could replace https:// or http:// with JUST // to preserve the protocol on the current page? I didn’t know about it until I saw YouTube embed links using it. This is amazing news. I’ll have to go through and update my blog posts to see if this…

  • Conor Oberst

    I had never heard of Conor Oberst or Bright Eyes before I became friends with Kristan. She was(still is) IN LOVE with the moody front man. I didn’t catch on until I started listening to some of his more energetic offerings recently. Let’s start with an example. This is the sort of music that I…
