		<description><![CDATA[The latest movie from local filmmaker Bill Kerig, &#8220;Ready to Fly&#8221; will premiere on Friday, February 10th at the Gateway Theaters. &#8220;Ready to Fly&#8221; comes just in time for Salt Lake City&#8217;s 10-year anniversary celebration of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The film is about Park City&#8217;s Lindsey Van, a ski jumper with Olympic dreams. But women&#8217;s ski jumping has long been excluded from the Winter Games, making Van and other women like her outcasts in their sport. Not one to lie down, Van lead the battle to fight against gender discrimination and through her tenacity, won the respect of the Olympic Committee, and succeeded in getting women&#8217;s ski jumping into the 2014 games. According to the filmmakers, this true story of a local woman&#8217;s fight against the establishment &#8220;tells a tale of sacrifice and determination, of pluck and tragedy, as a very special group of unlikely heroes triumphs over massive obstacles to achieve a dream and change the world for other women in the process.&#8221; &#8220;Ready to Fly&#8221; is the latest film from Bill Kerig, who is best known as the director of the documentary, &#8220;The Edge of Never,&#8221; based on his book of the same name. &#8220;The Edge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Utah is one step closer to getting a brand new ski resort. According to the Logan Herald Journal, the Cache County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a master plan for a proposed ski area called Cherry Creek, located three miles east of the town of Richmond. The vote was almost unanimous as commissioners decided that the proposal, led by Logan Checketts, met the provisions of county ordinances. According to Checketts, construction could begin this year, with an anticipated resort opening in the fall of 2013. Cherry Creek Ski Area plans to be a small resort aimed at local families who want a nearby option to hit the slopes. Planners expect a peak accommodation of 1,000 skiers per day on 203 acres of property, with proposed facilities that include a 10,000-square-foot lodge, four ski lifts, a terrain park, zip line, cable tow for a tubing hill, maintenance facilities and a warming hut. Of course a new ski area will always have opponents, especially from residents who live nearby. Voiced concerns include increased traffic, noise, and impacts to wildlife. Others are concerned about whether a ski area at such a low elevation would get enough snow. In any case, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Snowbasin is once again the host of the Winter Dew Tour Toyota Championships, which is celebrating its third year at the northern Utah ski resort. The event features snowboard and freeski slopestyle and superpipe athletes from around the world competing for the top prize, the coveted Dew Cup which is awarded to champions in each of the eight disciplines. The Dew Tour at Snowbasin is more than just watching your favorite pro athlete rip up the slopes and terrain parks. There&#8217;s also a big party happening in Ogden, where the &#8220;festival village&#8221; will light up every night with family-friendly games, athlete autograph signings, giveaways, and a live concert on Ogden&#8217;s Historic 25th Street. It all happens from Thursday, February 9 through Sunday, February 12. For a sense of what to expect when you go to watch these skiers and snowboarders fly through the air doing massively complex tricks, check out this highlight video of the men&#8217;s Ski Slopestyle from last year: &#160; Below is a list of the 2012 Winter Dew Tour Toyota Championships schedule so you can plan ahead and catch the events and concerts you want to see: MUSIC: Mac Miller – 19 year old rapper from Pittsburgh, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been an unusually warm season this year in Utah, but winter must go on! While it may feel more like spring, there are still ways to get into the winter spirit, like at the Bryce Canyon Winter Festival during Presidents Day Weekend. The 2012 Bryce Canyon Winter Festival has snowy activities and competitions for everyone willing to bundle up and play outside in one of Utah&#8217;s most beautiful national parks. Take your pick and participate in: * Cross country ski tours * Snowshoe tours and races * Archery clinic * Ski Archery competition * Kayaking demos * Waxing clinics * Photography clinics * Photo contest * Snow sculpture contest * People-powered sled race * Kids snowboot races * Entertainment In addition to all that, there will be free clinics where you can learn a new snow sport, participate in demos, and enjoy tours of the surrounding landscape which many consider to be more beautiful in the winter as white snow contrasts against the red rock hoodoos and cliffs that fill Bryce Canyon with breathtaking scenery. And considering that our winter this year has been less-than-normal, Bryce Canyon Winter Festival organizers assure us that the festivities will happen, regardless [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Salomon has been hitting it hard these days with their release of backcountry ski gear like the Quest 12 boots, Guardian bindings and also the Quest 30 backcountry pack. I&#8217;ve been hauling my gear on ski tours in the Wasatch with the Quest 30 on my back for the past month, and like all of Salomon&#8217;s backcountry-specific gear, this pack has me enamored. The Salomon Quest 30 is specifically designed to be used as a winter backpack for ski touring or any other cold-weather activity. Certain features like soft contour shoulder straps, adjustable belt with large winter buckle, one main compartment, goggle pocket, two internal side pockets for probe and shovel handle, one zipped belt pocket, one external technical compartment, ice axe carrier, poles carrier, and ski carriers on the sides all add up to make the Quest 30 a backcountry skier&#8217;s best friend. I traveled many miles in the Wasatch with the Salomon Quest 30 and appreciated that it lived up to the most important aspect of any pack: the best packs are the ones you forget you&#8217;re wearing. Such is the case with the Quest 30 as the straps, hip belt and back panel are all comfortable and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February 1st is an important save-the-date for the women’s cycling community in Utah! Registration for the 2012 Little Red Riding Hood, one of the state’s most popular women’s only cycling events, will begin at 12 p.m. (noon) MST. The ride will take place on June 2, 2012 in Northern Utah’s Cache Valley. When the ride started in 1987, 25 women took to the roads whereas in 2011, 3,500 slots were allotted for the ride and filled in approximately 23 hours. This year, organizers anticipate that the ride might reach its limit within 5 hours. In its 25th year, Little Red Riding Hood has evolved into a fully supported, non-competitive ride that offers a distance for women of all abilities with 18, 36, 50, 80 and 100 mile options. Riders will enjoy the natural beauty of Cache Valley while meandering through paved rural and county roads on this gently rolling course. For some, the ride signifies an annual family event with mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts training and completing the course. Other groups consist of friends, co-workers and neighbors. Rebecca Larson rode her first Little Red in 2009, completing the 100 mile century. Her second Little Red came in 2010, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An avalanche claimed the second fatality of the 2011/12 winter season when a snowboarder triggered a deep slab on the west side of Kessler Peak in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Alecsander Barton, a 25-year-old man living in Salt Lake City, was backcountry touring on the morning of January 28 with two other people. The party skinned up the Argenta slidepath on the north side of Kessler Peak, and descended into Mineral Fork in an area called Little Giant. According to the Utah Avalanche Center, Barton was the first person to drop in. He immediately triggered a two-three foot deep hard slab that swept him over 2-thousand feet down the mountain through rough, rocky terrain. He came to rest at the bottom of the slide where he was completely buried. In a Unified Police press release, the other members in the touring party skied down to Barton and used their avalanche beacons to locate their friend and call for help. The Wasatch Powder Birds assisted in the rescue and flew two members of Wasatch Backcountry Rescue to the scene. When they arrived, rescuers found Burton had deceased. Everyone was then flown away from the accident site to the Wasatch Powder Birds headquarters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Osprey has long been known in the outdoor industry as one of the premiere backpack manufacturers in the world. But at the 2012 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City, they revealed that they&#8217;re now about more than just outdoor recreation, unveiling a new line of travel bags, luggage, totes and child carriers. However, packs are their mainstay, and new bags for biking and hiking were also showed off on the convention center floor. First up is the new Zealot series. This mountain bike-specific pack is made especially for descending steep trails while holding all the gear you need for a day on the singletrack. Special pockets can carry body armor, bike tool, and even a full-face helmet via adjustable compression straps. The Zealot also has Osprey&#8217;s AirScape Suspension to help prevent sweaty back, BioStretch ventilated harness, large front pockets and side mesh pockets, LidLock helmet clip and a goggle/sunglass pocket. But one of the most cool features is the removable, roll-out tool pouch so you can keep your essential repair kit together and organized. The Zealot comes in two sizes, 10 and 16. Another good-looking, brand new Osprey pack is the Syncro. This bike and hike backpack is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suunto has long been a brand that makes high-quality, precision technical watches for training, diving and outdoor sports, but one thing has always been lacking in their watches which their competitors have had for years &#8211; GPS. Well, that&#8217;s all about to change as Suunto listened to its customers&#8217; demand and launched the new Ambit at the 2012 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. The Ambit is a GPS watch that combines a Global Positioning System with altimeter, 3D compass, and advanced heart rate monitor. According to Suunto, the Ambit is an ideal instrument for backcountry skiers, hikers, trail runners and mountain climbers who want to record their tracks and log their vertical on both the up and the down. Suunto says the Ambit runs on a patent-pending technology called FusedSpeed™ which &#8220;combines the best of both GPS frequencies and an accelerometer to provide an optimized wireless signal with accurate and precise speed data. It has a faster response to changing speeds for better control for trainings, trail sessions, interval or fartlek trainings.&#8221; Other specialized outdoor functions of the Suunto Ambit include: Full-featured GPS (SIRF IV) navigations with Find Waypoint functionality with route planning, tracking and track logging, 100 waypoint creations in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brighton Resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon is celebrating its 75th Anniversary on Friday, January 27, and everyone is invited! It&#8217;s going to be a huge day chock full of music, gear giveaways, food specials, drinks, a giant bonfire where you can make smores or get warm, a fireworks show and of course skiing and snowboarding at one of the first ski resorts in the United States. Brighton first began operation back in 1936 when Alpine Ski Club members built a rope tow from wire and an old elevator motor. By 1938, the club installed a T-bar. In 1946, the resort built a single-seat chairlift, and then a second T-bar in 1949. In the 1950s, the Doyle family became owners of Brighton and had installed one of the first double chairlifts in the west, which paved the way to Brighton&#8217;s popularity among locals in the Salt Lake Valley. In 1986, Boyne USA bought the resort, but the Doyle family still runs the daily operations of the resort to this day. Of course, Brighton today is a far cry from the T-bar and single seaters of days past. There are currently four high-speed quads, one quad, one triple, and a magic carpet [...]]]></description>
