The Canyons Resort In Park City Utah Wow!!!

2009-01-19T18:09:00.000-08:00

Below is a picture of waist deep snow angels we shoot while at The Canyons Resort in Park City Utah

Greatest snow on earth

A bunch of my family friends and I went to the canyons in Utah. We have been a lot of different places and the snow out in Utah was just out of this world. I will never forget that time when we were snowboarding in waist deep powder. We where there the day before as well.The waist deep powder all fell in that canyon overnight. and this snow was so dry it blew away out of your hands like baby powder. Another thing I noticed is the lack of the wind but I am definitely not complaining and on that week long trip no one else did either and here are a couple snow angels we left behind in Utah.

Best powder on earth

Above is a picture of a high peak at The Canyons in park city Utah.

Shawn White smart business man or sellout?

2008-08-20T12:52:00.000-07:00

I think that it may be that he is smart lets face it he cant ride forever. the only problem I see is Target it would have been nice to keep in the Board shops. The big picture is that good may come in the form of gaining more kids into the sports that Shawn loves. It Brings the sports or the hope of those sport where it has never been before on the worldstage of Target this means big sales and incresed ridership good news all around. here are other artical on this topic from about.com snowboarding

Here are coments to the post in about.com snowboarding the links is above and the comments are below

(1) Katherine says:
It tells you something about snowboarding culture that this is considered selling out when a basketball player would see it as business as usual. It’s nice to think that not everything is for sale. What a great sport!

July 31, 2008 at 1:57 pm(2) Kallie says:
Shaun White has been blessed with athletic ability to spare, and hair that’s brighter than any celebrity’s this side of Ronald McDonald.

He’s a marketer’s dream, and I think he should cash in while he can. He won’t be able to compete forever. Someday, he’ll just be a name on a Nintendo game…

August 6, 2008 at 10:36 pm(3) Mike D. says:
It’s funny on one side of the page Shaun White is getting blasted and on the other side there ia a link to his merch at Target.It’s hard to tell who the sellouts really are.

This last comment is correct next to this post is an ad for Shawn White and Target.

We headed to peak ten to ride in the Burns the snow was blowing lightly when we entered just as we got going the winds picked up to the point where we could not see anything and had to buncker down for ten mintues. After a while we stared to head back to tghe trail so we would be safe it was not worth the risk we were disapointed but we knew that today would be a great day for the Burns and it was. we also hit the imperial bowl and got to ride epic conditions.

One cryied and the other should have

2007-11-24T10:41:00.000-08:00

It's back to the early days for our crew. We were at Hunter mountain on the belt parkway when Kenny came by crying I cant do this I cant do this when in fact he was doing it better then the rest. Except he was crying all the way down. Me and Frankie aka Fancy foot and cranky Frankie by night. We decided to go down the steep north side at the bottom Frankie forgot to turn and hit a wooden gate that was there to protect the water pipe that was behind it. I thought I would be bringing the bad news home when I seen a hand waving from the pile of snow. I help Frankie get up and guest what he was not crying like Kenny the Crying Irish i heard of the fighting Irish but this boy was down with TCI for sure The Crying Irish in fact he's not only a client he's the president.

My first time was a true fight between by and the ground

2007-11-19T13:00:00.000-08:00

I can still remember my first time at hunter on a snowboard being a skier of about twelve years. I had no money for lessons so it was me and all the lessons i would learn that day. since then prices for beginners has dropped a lot with the Internet and other

factors like competition and public relations promotions it's easy to take a lesson now so.The lessons i learned were good and they worked for me but try to take a few lessons my times have changed and so will yours keep it up and you will achieve new heights.

What a Cry Baby!!

2007-07-27T14:03:00.000-07:00

When I was in BC Canada me and a group friends wanted to go heli boarding. So we went down to whistler village to go sign r life away. We get there and were talking to everyone about what we have to do so there telling us that we have to wear advlance gear so now me and my friends were like okay that's not a big deal then there going on about how there is blue ice and all this other stuff so were like do we go. So anyway we put pay all set to go for the next day. So we go home a go to bed early only to get a phone call that morning r trip is cacaled to were like it's a sign let's not do this.
Then the following day we get up and the sky looked great the sun was glowing, we lift the house no phone calls. So we head to the village pick up r boards head to the van so the copper can put us up and take us 10,000 feet up in the air. thats when i started crying i was so scared taking the chopper into the tips of the mountain because i was scared that is was going to crash but it didn't i'm still here. By the time i know it i was a pro, I ducked into a ball waited for the copper to land then we all paled in to got back up to the top to do it all over again. I will never forget this it was the beat feeling in the world...... I will never cry like that ever again....

Hitting rock bottom of river bed At Whistler

2007-07-05T13:10:00.000-07:00

This last Feb we were in Whistler riding on the Whistler side. We had a Local guide us
His name Is Trevor Chelswick owner and operator of Whistler Vacations. We went down a river bed that was covered in snow. There are no pictures I thought I forgot the camera only to find it at the end of the day in my inside pocket.

Back to the story My brother in law Ronnie was riding behind me on this roller coaster
river bed I stop to wait for Ronnie. no sign now I get shaken. I had to worry about Ronnie and also find Trevor. Finally Ronnie and Joe come down Joe had to pull Ronnie out of a 5ft hole the left Ronnie on the river bed floor.

I look down and to the left a there's Trevor waiting right there to lead us out a great time was had by all of us that day. Sadly the girls missed it they where riding the slopes.

P.S and even sadder then that Keith and Tony stayed in the condo that day sorry boys.

This fall could have cost him his life

2007-05-03T10:27:00.000-07:00

My girl friend's cousin Frankie aka Fancy Foot Farella was riding for the second time and was doing good until he went down the north face with me at Hunter mountain. He missed the turn at the bottom and hit a wood fence section that protects people from hitting the water pipe. I thought that I was going to make a bad phone call.

Frankie was laying there like with no life in him when I got closer I seen him move Thank God. Now days he love to ride and grid the water pipes now I see that the fence was to protect the water pipe from riders that love's rails like Fancy Foot Farella.

Ps I don't have pictures of this event but now we are armed with all sorts of cameras.

First time we ever went by heli

2007-04-27T10:34:00.000-07:00

Our first time was at Whistler Blackcomb with we had a blast doing it with Whistler heli ski

At first it was rough getting used to the way the chopper came in to land. We had to cuddle into a ball and wait for the chopper to come in inches away from us this was scary. At the same time it was exciting. When we left the ground it was not so bad.

From there it was on we did for runs with lunch on the mountain we had a great time when you fall you laugh. The only problem is you will fall in love so if you don't have a way for your pockets to keep up already then find one fast. life is short play hard.

VA Tech Shooting

2007-04-18T16:32:00.000-07:00

I know this is off topic but it need to be said.What happened a VA Tech has me at a lost for words.First I would like to address the family to whom I turn to in there time and say. I'm so sorry for your loss I sorry this happened to you or anybody for that matter. There is no need for something like this take place under our nose without

warning. What do we teach our kids about other people. In this case it was not about the jock or popular people. This was about Rich and Poor how can this happen and no one notice. That is the question people will be asking did we learn nothing from the past

or is the answer in our future well it seems that way.So lets not let the lost of these Young Adults not be use for fuel for change.We must do something The answer is within our grasps.

Riding The river bed At whistler

2007-04-10T08:38:00.000-07:00

First I would like to say sorry for not having picture's to go with this story but the battery was dead.This was the funniest thing I every did except Heliboarding.We rented for Whistler vacations and because we advertise for them trevor the owner Showed us the mountain. We started by going peak to creek then cutting of tho the right down bagel bowl then hit route 86 for few seconds then we drop out of bounds into trees that lead us to a river bed full of snow. it was like being on a roller coaster with sharp turns My brother in law Ronnie fell in a hole about 5 foot deep and we had to pick him up off the river bed floor. from there we kept riding on an angle to the left and pop back onto peak to creek it was great and we learned a lot.

We would like to thank Trevor who owns Whistler vacations and whistler lodging.

The lodging was even better then we ever could have imagine.

PS Don't try this yourself you need radios and GPS would also be nice to have. If you like You can get a guide to show you the river bed.

The dog came with the rental

2007-03-24T18:52:00.000-07:00

This cute dog in midway Utah came right up when we arrived at the nine bed room home.
I don't know if he smelled the exotic Meats That we had ship there and was already in the fridge when we opened it. The dog belonged to the people next door but he knew what was up. If you think about it not a bad life for a dog the amount of love,food and kindness this dog must receive both at home and at the visiting people's place.

Our first hike for powder

2007-03-20T09:02:00.000-07:00

This last trip to whistler was very enlightening.We hiked the Flute bowl Whistler's inbound out bounds take the hike to the top get off the symphony Express chair at top.When you off load go to the left and ride down two blocks then hug mountain to the right as you turn you will see big sign for the flute bowl.Go to sign re group and start hiking. If weather is bad don't even try it come back latter this area can get bad fast so be smart. hike takes about 25 minutes to finish have fun enjoy.

2007-03-07T13:33:00.000-08:00

We could have flown into Vancouver but instead we went on Jet blue drove from there to Canada. with that much leg room and true blue rewards why not see some of the country.
and I like the fact that there are no drink carts in the isle blocking the way to the rest room. this make you so comfortable why not do it. We got to see Seattle Wa and we
cross the boarder into Canada passed though Vancouver. In the next post little town to stop for something to eat and coffee.

HELISKI HOLIDAY announces the ADDITION OF KNIGHT INLET HELISKIING
Knight Inlet is situated north of Campbell River & Comox BC on Vancouver Island and cuts 80 miles through the remote Coast mountain range to Mt. Waddington, the highest peak in the Coast Range.

Whether you are an intermediate or big mountain free skier, family groups or corporate castaways, there is a heli holiday that will suit YOU. You will be skiing or riding in groups of 4 plus your guide, served by an A Star or Bell 407 helicopter which will pick you up from your yacht accommodations in Knight Inlet and set you down on terrain that only dreams are made of!

The Heliskiing

Because of the remote location the vast majority of the helicopter skiing terrain is untouched. People don’t live there, so there are no roads, no runways and no services; leave your cell phone at home. This BC Heliski Holiday concentrates on the essentials - you and some of the best heliskiing in the world.

The Ship

The Motor Yacht “Astral Star” is a 119’ Italian-built long-range motor yacht.

The ship is customized to provide comfortable and luxurious accommodation, including a spa hot tub, spacious decks and heli-pad.

The Location

The helicopter lifts off from our moorage in Knight Inlet on the south west coast of British Columbia. Knight Inlet cuts 80 miles through Canada’s remote Coast mountain range to Mt. Waddington, British Columbia’s highest peak, and magnificent Silverthrone Mountain. It is a heliskiing playground of limitless terrain and first descents.

The Packages

5 day tour offers – 10 hrs. heli time - 5 hrs. per skier group of 4 plus guide for each.
7 day tour offers - 14 hrs. heli time - 7 hrs. per skier group of 4 plus guide for each.
