Written by Tim

Ogden (or as the locals call it, O-Town), UT has become a city on the map for ski and snow enthusiasts everywhere. To inaugurate what has become a city re-born as the ski industry epicenter, DNA Ski Apparel, Nidecker, Salomon, Kahuna Creations and ATOMIC are teaming together to host the “O-Town Throw-Down Rail Jam” competition in conjunction with ski film premier Realtime by Level 1 Productions on September 27th. The night will kick off with an Open rail session ($10 open) and live-band at 5pm. Following this will be climbing wall and street skate competitions and the feature premier of Realtime beginning at 9pm. Rounding out the night will be the “Throw-Down” Snow-less Rail Jam competition. Three comp positions will be reserved for qualifiers from the Open session.

TAYLORSVILLE - Even on a weekday, the skate park at 4800 S. Redwood Road is packed, reverberating with the sound of polyurethane wheels scraping against concrete.
    Adolescent boys with shaggy hair and skinny jeans hanging from their hips show off kickflips, ollies and noseslides, heckling each other when they fall.
    You would never guess that at least a handful of them are vigilantes - or maybe just the punk rock version of hall monitors.
    They have to be to keep their park open.

Tell us about the first time you slid sideways on snow?
In a gully in my friend’s backyard on a skate deck that had bicycle tubing for straps, it was pretty all time.

Craziest thing you’ve ever seen go down while snowboarding? 
Because of snowboarding and being in it for so long I have seen the most amazing things – from travels to weather to people to launches to the most epic snowboarding ever done by some of the very best riders out there. The craziest thing is too hard to call out, it’s just crazy that I have witnessed what I have. That in a package is the most craziest thing ever imaginable!

Powder Country at Powder Mountain

Powder Country at Powder Mountain p: T. Roberts
Powder Country on a sunnier day. p: Tim Roberts
Powder Country is a an area at Powder Mountain in northern Utah that is known for lots of vert and lots of powder.  What a lot of people don't know is how to find it.  What also perplexes newbies once they find it is how to get back to the resort.  Powder Country exists above the road at Powder Mountain and is accessed by two lifts, either the Sundown or the Hidden Lake lifts can drop you near the top of either side of the road.  From there, you ski back down to the road, where you then board a bus that takes you back to the resort.  The entire lap takes about 20 minutes, but the terrain that is accessed is steep and deep and holds powder for a long time after a storm.  The bus is always full of happy skiers and boarders with powder eating grins stuck to their faces.

At the end of February, RideUtah.com made the brief trip up to Powder Mountain and we were rewarded with a driving snow storm filling up our tracks by the time we'd made the round trip back to the top.  It wasn't our first trip to Pow Mow and it certainly won't be our last.  Click the read more link to view the video.  The music is by Salt Lake City's own The Rubes

Spring Backcountry Mission
So, this season, I’ve been on a mission to tackle some backcountry routes that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. So far I’ve ticket “The Seagull” on Argenta and that’s it. Between having access to every resort in Utah and a busy schedule dominated by a two year old, I’ve had [...]
