The Canyons Resort In Park City Utah Wow!!!

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:09:00 +0000

A bunch of my family friends and I went to the canyons in Utah. We have been a lot of different places and the snow out in Utah was just out of this world. I will never forget that time when we were snowboarding in waist deep powder. We where there the day before as well.

The waist deep powder all fell in that canyon overnight. and this snow was so dry it blew away out of your hands like baby powder. Another thing I noticed is the lack of the wind but I am definitely not complaining and on that week long trip no one else did either and here are a couple snow angels we left behind in Utah.

Below is a picture of waist deep snow angels we shoot while at The Canyons Resort in Park City Utah

Greatest snow on earth

Best powder on earth

Above is a picture of a high peak at The Canyons in park city Utah.

Shawn White smart business man or sellout?

admin — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:52:00 +0000

I think that it may be that he is smart lets face it he cant ride forever. the only problem I see is Target it would have been nice to keep in the Board shops. The big picture is that good may come in the form of gaining more kids into the sports that Shawn loves.

It Brings the sports or the hope of those sport where it has never been before on the worldstage of Target this means big sales and incresed ridership good news all around. here are other artical on this topic from about.com snowboarding

Here are coments to the post in about.com snowboarding the links is above and the comments are below

(1) Katherine says:
It tells you something about snowboarding culture that this is considered selling out when a basketball player would see it as business as usual. It’s nice to think that not everything is for sale. What a great sport!

July 31, 2008 at 1:57 pm(2) Kallie says:
Shaun White has been blessed with athletic ability to spare, and hair that’s brighter than any celebrity’s this side of Ronald McDonald.

He’s a marketer’s dream, and I think he should cash in while he can. He won’t be able to compete forever. Someday, he’ll just be a name on a Nintendo game…

August 6, 2008 at 10:36 pm(3) Mike D. says:
It’s funny on one side of the page Shaun White is getting blasted and on the other side there ia a link to his merch at Target.It’s hard to tell who the sellouts really are.

This last comment is correct next to this post is an ad for Shawn White and Target.

Spring massive is under way At Breckenridge and it has dump huge amounts of snow with 1-2 ft on the way for Wednesday into Thursday the riding has been great. Our first day it was snowing hard. We headed to peak ten to ride in the Burns the snow was blowing lightly when we entered just as we got going the winds picked up to the point where we could not see anything and had to bunker down for ten minutes. After a while we stared to head back to tghe trail so we would be safe it was not worth the risk we were disappointed but we knew that today would be a great day for the Burns and it was. we also hit the imperial bowl and got to ride epic conditions. More snow on the way it will only get better Spring massive is off to a good start.
