Customer for life
I’m sure all of you remember my post on my broken skis a few months ago (sarcasm). But in the off chance you forgot, here’s the post. Short version: I broke one of my skis on a fall late in the season at Solitude this year. This is what it looked like: I’m sure this happens semi-frequently, but this was a first for me. I was hoping that Rossignol/Dynastar had some sort of...

Total prep time for this bread was around ten minutes. Recipe: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast 1 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water  Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the...

It's Official: The Legends Are Dead
It’s official. After a two year love affair with my Dynastar Legends, they decided enough was enough and they broke off our relationship. Literally. I was at Solitude, about to finish up my day and head down the canyon to go to work, when all of a sudden, I yard-sale all over the run (right under the lift, naturally). It wasn’t a very bad fall, but as I hiked back up to my skis, I...

Year-round Market at the Rio Grande Depot →
Interesting article in the Salt Lake Tribune, which discusses the possibility of utilizing the historical Rio Grande Depot as a year-round urban market. Just the thought of this gets me excited. Ever since I visited the Ferry Building in San Francisco, I’ve had the itch to see something similar take place here in Salt Lake City. Here’s hoping that they are able to get this organized...
