With trail systems like McCoy Flats, Red Fleet, La Pointe, and more, there’s plenty of desert singletrack to explore in Northeastern Utah.

Videos that make Alta Frank again
Alta has the best closing day of any ski resort in the U.S.A. Period. The 2017 ski season at Alta is now over, and while that’s a bummer, the last-day-at-Alta parties definitely take the sorrow away. High Boy, and the Wildcat parking lot are two venues for celebrating, but the mother of all on-slope parties…
Compilation of Alta “Snow and” videos by Sweetgrass Productions
As I write this, Alta closes in two days for the 2016/17 season. That makes me sad, because Alta is such a special place and it bums me out knowing that I must wait seven long months before I get to ski there again. Alta is almost sacred in a way, and throughout the season,…
Video: Faces of Alta
My name is Jared Hargrave. I’m 40-years-old. And my favorite run at Alta is Eddie’s High Nowhere. If I were in 4FRNT’s new video, “Faces of Alta,” that’s what my ugly mug would say to the camera. 4FRNT is a Salt Lake City-based ski company and clearly they have a love for Alta, and it…
Top Utah Outside Stories of the Year 2016
2016, by many accounts, has been a bad year.

But as far as outdoor recreation in Utah is concerned, there was much to celebrate. Lots of…
La Sal Mountains skiing featured in “Sandstone and Snow”
Pro ski athletes tend to spend their winters in exotic, far away mountain ranges like those found in Alaska, British Columbia, or Japan. But Aspen, Colorado-based skier, Colter Hinchliffe, chose the path least traveled (or skinned) by exploring Utah’s comparatively-seldom-skied desert range, the La Sal Mountains of Moab. Of course no athlete goes skiing without…
“Here Comes Winter” coming to Park City
Winter is coming… it’s trendy thing to hashtag thanks to Game of Thrones, but this time of year, it’s a pretty damn accurate statement. Alternatively, you can say, “here comes winter,” and that’s exactly what Wasatch Mountain Arts is saying when they bring their latest ski film-festival to Park City in November. Here Comes Winter…
“Ruin and Rose” ski movie review
I caught the Salt Lake City premiere of Matchstick Production’s Ruin and Rose on Thursday night, and walked away stoked about the upcoming ski season. That’s really why we go to ski movie screenings, isn’t it? We gather with the tribe, catch swag thrown by pro skiers, have a beer, and drool over footage of…

The new ski film from Matchstick Productions, Ruin and Rose, sees its Salt Lake City premiere on Thursday, October 6th at 8:00pm at the Jeanne’ Wagner Theatre in the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. Ruin and Rose is the first MSP film by acclaimed writer/director Ben Sturgulewski, who is well known as the artistic force behind…
Skiing the National Parks in Powder’s “Monumental”
Ever wondered what it’s like to ski our nation’s National Parks? With the NPS celebrating 100 years, Powder Magazine, along with KGB Productions and REI have teamed up to produce a ski film about that very subject. The film is called “Monumental” and it follows backcountry skiers who travel into the heart of the west’s…
