The KSL Outdoors show is usually about hunting, fishing, and motorized outdoor sports in Utah. But last week, a very different episode hit the airwaves when they dedicated a whole show about mountain biking in Southern Utah. From the Red Bull Rampage, to Outerbike in Moab, to riding the Good Water Rim Trail at the…

Video: Pre-Halloween Powder at Alta
For most in Utah, ski season is a few weeks away, but for a dedicated few, skiing and snowboarding started a while ago. Alta has been hammered by early-season storms, and quite the base is building up for the 2013/14 ski season. As ski bums are wont to do, they’ve been touring up on low-angle…
Video: Adventure is Calling
A stunning video was posted on Vimeo recently. It’s one of those timelapse deals with scenic landscapes and an impossibly brilliant night sky. We’ve all seen them, but Shane Black has upped the ante with his video “Adventure is Calling.” There’s a lot of scenes from around the country, but of course most are of…
Video: Voile – French for “Made in America”
One of our favorite ski companies, Salt Lake City based Voile, has long been misunderstood. They have a French name, therefore people assumed they are a French company. But no, they are American, headquartered in Utah, and their awesome skis and backcountry gear is made in West Valley City. So to put to rest any…
Video: Snowbird Ski Patrol
It’s not often that you can see a commercial for a ski resort featuring nothing but the ski patrol, but in this week’s video, the Snowbird Ski Patrol takes center stage. Of course the terrain, snow, and yes, explosions are all present as well, but it’s the sweet footage of the patrollers at work and…

Friday Video: Colorado Trail Race 2013
The video, “Colorado Trail Race 2013,” is an inspiring look at what it might be like to ride your mountain bike from Denver to Durango on the Colorado Trail. I’m talking 70,000 feet of climbing over 550 miles and it’s all self supported. A very good friend of UtahOutside.com, Mike DeBernardo, participated in this year’s…
Sweetgrass evokes the ’70s in new Valhalla trailer
I’m going to come out and just say it – Sweetgrass Productions is making the most creative and different, no, wildly different ski movies ever. I know some people think they’re too artsy and slow, but at least Sweetgrass isn’t afraid to tear open the box that most ski movie companies confine themselves to. And…
Friday Video: Sailing the Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake
When you think of sailing, images of smooth ocean water, California beaches or World Cup races over torrent waters may come to mind. Utah most definitely doesn’t come into the equation. But there is actually a surprisingly large number of lakes and reservoirs in Utah where you can not only sail, but find world-class sailing…
Friday Video: I-Street with Carston Oliver
The I-Street dirt jumps in Salt Lake City have been the source of controversy, and are even being threatened by possible construction of water tanks. But these homemade dirt jumps have caught world-wide attention from professional bike riders and filmmakers. That’s why this week’s Friday Video is “I-Street with Carston Oliver.” The video is a…
