Friday Video: “World’s Most Insane Rope Swing Ever – Canyon Cliff Jump”
This week’s Friday Video has been floating around the interwebs for a couple weeks now, but as usual we’re just now in the loop. We’re too busy skiing and writing to troll YouTube for the latest and greatest, trending videos. But even tough I’m only the 9,270,724th person to watch this, it’s still worth mentioning…
Friday Video: “Tiny House Tour Episode 3”
The tiny house tour is exactly what it sounds like. Three backcountry skiers load up in a mobile log cabin and travel around the mountains of the west in search of fresh snow.

Friday Video: “KSL Outdoors: Fly fishing the Weber River”
For years we’ve intended on featuring fly fishing articles on UtahOutside.com, but it’s been a challenge to find writers who not only write, but are avid fly fishermen (or women) in Utah. So it’s with great relish that we bring you this week’s Friday Video, titled “Fly Fishing the Weber River.” This clip comes from…
Friday video: “The Burn” from Salomon Freeski TV

Friday video: One Day at Snowbasin
By now, you’ve all probably recovered from the epic snowfall we had in Utah a few weeks ago, unless you skied at Snowbasin. No other resort got hammered quite as much as Snowbasin, where over three feet of powder dumped on this mountain, and pretty much only this mountain. After the deepest day, GoPro videos…
Friday Video: Feel the Love
If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like to have the greatest job in the world, then you’ve got to check out this week’s Friday Video, “Feel the Love.” That greatest job is being an Alta Ski Patroller, and one of their red coats, Brett Korpela, has been documenting his adventures in Little Cottonwood…
Friday Video: How Not to Perform an Avalanche Rescue
Every year, avalanche workshops around the country show videos to backcountry skiers of avalanches caught on tape. It’s great for education and as a scare-you-straight tactic while witnessing the immense power of snow sliding down a mountain. Usually the footage is captured on a GoPro that the victim is wearing. It’s not often that the…
