Crowd control has been the hot topic of discussion around the Wasatch as of late and the 2020/2021 season was a tester to how the resorts will handle the situation. Salt Lake actually   is what Denver thinks it is and it’s no surprise that the secret is out about the incredible access to outdoor recreation. The recent influx of people moving to the vicinity of the resorts also equates to more traffic in the canyons and at the resorts, so now the resorts are scrambling to find a solution to optimize their guests experience. According to the Ikon Pass Site, Brighton will be requiring r ..read more

Photo by Robson Hatsukami Morgan It’s that time of year again, the mountains have announced their closing dates  (Brighton- April 24th, Snowbird- May 1st, Solitude- April 25th, Park City- April 17th). The snow is continuing to turn into the wonderful thick, surfy, slush. To the unprepared, slush can be dangerous, but with the right preparation, it’s almost as good as powder…almost.

It can be a challenge when mother nature turns up the heat, but that doesn’t mean you shou ..read more

According to their Instagram and website, the SLS Championship Tour is back in action and Utah skate enthusiasts will reap the rewards even more so. The first official stop following qualifiers will be held at none other than the beautiful Salt Lake City the weekend of August 27th. Location within the Salt Lake Valley is not yet known but all they need is the SLS-certified plaza and they will construct their one-of-a-kind, completely custom-built park for the big dogs to thrown down on. My first guesses for the event’s location would either be the Gallivan Center since it pretty much perfectly ..read more
