On Friday, September 23 at 9:02 Mountain time autumn will arrive in the Ogden Valley! Drove over Trappers Loop yesterday and the maples were starting to burn with fall color. They went from green to brilliant red in just a few days so don't delay your fall color get-a-way! It's time to get out and enjoy 360 degrees of natural adventure.
The Xterra National Championships take place this weekend - swim in Ogden Valley's favorite water, Pineview; bike up Wheeler and Sardine Canyon trails to Snowbasin; and then a trail run up and around Snowbasin. It will be the first off road triathlon for Lance Armstrong since his retirement from road cycling. Athletes will be here from around the world. Snowbasin will have two bbq's and the gondola running so come on out and enjoy all the Ogden Valley has to offer.
Some say our turns are "old school" but I never get tired of looking back at the dozens of S turns my group of friends just made down a slope of fresh powder. I also loving taking pictures of them making those turns but yesterday there was no time to stop and do photography. The snow was light, the sky was blue, and there was 22 inches of new snow to enjoy. After a "powder drought" this season we were skiing fast and not stopping to pose. There was some time on the lift to snap a few shots! What a marvelous day if was.
