On the Top of the World


OK, we cheated and rode the Snowbasin Needles Gondola up before hiking the final ascent to the top of the ridge. What a great way to spend an autumn day in Northern Utah. I filmed 270 degrees of our view here:

Music in the Mountains

If you haven't spent a Saturday evening listening to music in the Eden mountains it's time. Both Snowbasin and Wolf Mountain sponsor great concerts on the weekend. At Wolf Mountain you can pack a picnic or buy from the concert vendors. It's a treat to enjoy the sunset, watch the stars come out, and tap your feet to the great vibrations. On August 23rd Eric Heatherly will be performing and it's only $20 per car load. The concert starts at 8:00 but arrive early to get a good spot on the grass!

Lift-Served Mountain Biking - What a Kick!

What a great way to spend a summer day - the trails at Snowbasin Resort are in excellent shape!
Which might be more than I can say for my niece Anna and I - as we point out on the map where we took out little tumbles (somehow the guys stayed spotless clean - "no guts, no glory," said Anna). We are just a little out of practice for the technical stuff, but we had a great time!

The Living is Easy


Summer time, and the living is easy... we went for a little fishing and photography one early morning last week. We love it when the new springtime green shows brilliantly against the leftover mountain snow.
