Just an old guy trying to stay fit, and record some entertainment in the process. Lots of cuts, scrapes, bruises, and black toe nails earned in the process. If you understand the black toe nails, you're a true mountain adventurer. :-)

Following Mike down Pork Barrel at Snowbasin

Just a Sunday morning run at Snowbasin following Mike and stopping by the terrain park. What's up with Snowbasin leveling one of the jumps and blocking the other as closed?

Early Season Skiing at Snowbasin

The snow was perfect early season snow, but after a few runs there were enough people to create some congestion. I wanted to straight line down the mountain, but too many unpredictable people.

Dec 28 Strawberry to JP

I wanted to see how long it would take me to ski non-stop from the top of Strawberry to the main base area at Snowbasin Ski Resort in Utah. I didn't take the fastest route because I had to have some fun on the way.

Thanksgiving 2010 Opening Day Snowbasin

Thanksgiving opening day at Snowbasin Utah. The best snow I can remember on an opening day. Temperatures were bitter cold and the wind was blowing hard, but the snow was awesome. I followed my granddaughter from top to bottom.

My favorite ski fails Volkl Gotama rear binding pulls out

I was skiing with me granddaughter, she got a little too slow and I couldnt stay behind her any longer. I started to make some short fast runs with one jump off a roller. When I got to the base I fell for no apparent reason My binding came off my ski.

Travis on Main Street

Travis was skiing slow. I asked him to ski faster or fall down so the video would be interesting.

Middle Bowl Cirque Snowbasin Utah

This is a traverse across the top of a mountain in Utah with an impressive view of the Salt Lake Valley. This location is where I figured out I am not in good enough shape for a Mt. Everest ascent, and I need to keep an eye on Mike when he is skiing a
