We first discovered Sam from his friend’s video of him inline rollerblading at Park City’s skatepark. We were instantly blown away with his talent and later came to learn he was an athlete at Team Park City United. Sam is an inspiration to our community.

The month of January has been an interesting one in the Wasatch. 2014 kicked off with rollover powder from the previous year.

Champagne pow gradually fluctuated to mostly sugar and cream. Lack of freshies led to getting creative with local terrain.

Just when Old Man Winter’s local approval ratings began to dip, a series of storms pushed into the area dropping classic Utah snow. Stashes were shlarped.*

Yet another high pressure system pushed itself into the Wasatch area shortly thereafter, apprehending all hope of continued powder terror. Instead, sunny, spring like conditions prevailed for the past 2 weeks, lowering team morale. In times like these, succumbing to frustration seems to be an easy excuse not to ride some snow, however, a backyard sunset session never hurts when the powder is nowhere to be found. Get creative and make the fun happen. Because the next storm is right around the corner.
