I was over at the Park City blog and saw that last week was National Safety Awareness Week. Were you safe? Were you even aware?

I remember my first ski instructor job at Timberline, Oregon and it was part of the hiring for us to recite the key points of the “Your Responsibility Code“. I doubt I can recite all of it’s key points today but I’m certain that a lot of the code is a part of how I ski and what I’m hopefully teaching to my kids who are in their first few years of skiing.

Park City posted a few PSA videos from the National Ski Patrol, one of which I’ve x-posted here. Remember, it’s supposed to be fun but it’s no fun when you’re wreck yourself.

If you missed the Utah premier of Warren Miller’s film Playground there is still time. In fact, most location weren’t as lucky as Utah to get an early showing. But it’s a double edged sword - now the wait for the season to start is unbearable. It was a roaring crowd at Abravanel Hall, especially when the Utah segment came on, and we expect you’ll be roaring it up as you open your season with Warren.

Okay, okay, so Warren himself is retired and the film, although it carries his name is not the same as his films of yester-year. Chances are its bigger, better and more action packed. After all, it’s still ski and snowboard action at its finest.

No matter how bad a winter is Warren Miller Films seems to find deep untracked powder nearly everywhere they go. Just like they did here in Utah last season. How was it that they would come to Utah the last week of February when it dumped nearly 4′ of snow? I wish they’d come every week to Utah if that’s the type of welcome they get.

Enjoy the trailer and be sure to find a showing near you. Then get out to Utah this winter to see just how deep it really is when it dumps.

Why does Park City Mountain Resort have to do stuff like this? Putting out a teaser for a film that I can’t see until 2008? It’s not right…it’s painfully wrong.

But I really like the idea of an entire film being shot within the resort. Park City Mountain Resort has been tops in the reader polls of Snowboarder, Transworld and Freeskier Magazines for their terrain parks and the Superpipe. The resort as a whole has always faired well in the Ski and Skiing polls too. Bottom line is Park City Mountain Resort has a lot to offer no matter how you slide on snow.

With athletes like Shaun White, Mark Frank, Erin Comstock and others this video is going on my radar…12 months out.
