If you haven’t tried canyoneering a slot canyon in Southern Utah, then you have no idea on what kind of fun you’re missing out on. Of course if you are claustrophobic, then you’ll beg to differ. But I love canyoneering so much, I was thrilled to see that an entire episode of KSL Outdoors was…

Friday Video: Weak in the Knees
Maybe it’s withdrawals from skiing, but this week’s Friday Video is, yes, a ski video. With June on our doorstep, and Memorial Day come and gone, it’s pretty much summer here in Utah and I should just let go and get over it. But nay, there still be snow in them hills. One merely has…
Friday Video: The Bus – A Story of Friends and Fun
Good times with friends. That’s all we want in life, isn’t it? Well in this week’s Friday Video, Joey Schusler and his posse seem to have found that sometimes elusive (because of jobs) fantasy life enabled by an old school bus. His video, “The Bus: A Story of Friends and Fun” documents the revelry, and even…
Friday Video: Flying/Skiing the Henry Mountains in Southern Utah
Last week I posted a trip report about our backcountry ski adventure to the Henry Mountains. One of our crew, Jon Strickland, brought along a speed wing and chose to fly off the mountains rather than do something as pedestrian as snowboard. He also brought his GoPro. Well, the video is finished, it’s called, “Flying/Skiing…
Friday Video: Alta’s “On the Lift With…”
This week’s Friday video is not one, but four. This ski season, Alta has been conducting interviews in the best place on Earth to have a chat – the chair lift. Alta’s classy P.R. dude, Joe Johnson, picks the brains of skiers who make Alta… Alta. According to their YouTube Page, the videos aim to…
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. It’s all sponsored by Outdoor Research, and the company’s ambassadors Zack Giffin, Molly Baker and Neil Provo are chasing storms and looking…
Friday video: “The Burn” from Salomon Freeski TV
This week’s Friday Video comes from Salomon Freeski TV, and it’s one of the very best in the entire series, ever. Salomon has taken a page from Sweetgrass Productions with their latest ski-movie short titled, “The Burn.” It’s a damn poetic, visual feast as two skiers shred powder through a burning… well… smoldering forest. Add…
Hitcase Pro iPhone case review
Turn your iPhone into a GoPro! That’s what I thought when I took the Hitcase Pro out of the packaging and put my iPhone 4s in it. There are a lot of iPhone cases to choose from out there for outdoor adventure – waterproof, dust proof, shock proof coverings that make your phone indestructable. But…
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…
