Brenny and Mom ski The Bird and talking Utah weather
Posted by Jodi Saeland on February 28, 2011I'm going to cover 2 different topics. A quick synopsis of my background: I am a Meteorologist. I have been in the broadcast industry for nearly 20 years (OK, I'm aging myself) and until recently, worked full time as the main Meteorologist for the Fox affiliate here in Salt Lake. I know do freelance weather for the local NBC affiliate in SLC. I'm telling you this because I'd like to give you a little info on SLC weather and a little mountain Meteorology and why Utah really has "The Greatest Snow on Earth".
Second topic will be one of the best ski days I've ever had! A powder day at Snowbird with a 3 year old staying on the Chickadee lift and watching him have such a great time! A mother/son day of skiing and lunch...doesn't get any better or make me more proud!

Avalanche Guns and Skiing in the Dark
Posted by Ski Utah Yeti on February 10, 2011My friend Johanna Kirk submitted this awesome story a while back about going with ski patrol at Snowbird to shoot avalanche guns.

Utah's White Christmas

Pre-Public Tram at Snowbird
Posted by Powderhound Matt on December 22, 2010Ever wonder what it would be like to have an entire mountain all to yourself? No need to wonder anymore...
The first ski day of the season...take it EASY on the little guys and FREE skiing under 6!
Posted by Jodi Saeland on December 15, 2010The snow has arrived in full force and we're looking at a pretty great start to the season and hopefully a good snow year thanks to La Nina. That is a discussion for another blog.
So, we've rented the skis and we're ready to head out. Now, I'm not as mobile as my other fellow bloggers. With my equipment, Emily's, Brennan's and 2 kids in tow....it takes us awhile. The key is to pick a day when everyone is rested and happy....otherwise, you'll be very crabby by the end of the day :)
I thought I'd take Emily first alone. Just to get her "ski legs". What's that? Well, for those of you who have skied before, it is the first day of the season to take it easy and sort of "remember" how to ski. After our very successful season last year with Emily, I thought, no biggie...she's ready to go straight up the lift. NOOOO! Last run of last year was down the tram at Snowbird. For those that haven't skiied much, it is a challenging run for us adults let alone the kids.
