Mid December in Utah

Finally, all that snow that Utah claims, to be the best has started to puke all over us. So the parties have slowed down. No, that’s not true at all actually. We have been spending most of our time shredding new pow at Brighton almost everyday. We have Charlie Friedland and Scott Blum making visit to SLC ride with us too. Then of course heading back to Salt Lake City for whatever the night might bring.

- Right off the lift and a five minute hike for untracked runs

-Top of Crest Lift taking a few laps with the Brighton Park crew, Evan LeFebvre, and Charlie Friedland

-Taking a little mid run break in a little hut with Kyle Lopiccolo, Nick Dirks, Evan and Elliot Levitt

- Kyle Lopiccolo sending an indy noseboner off a quick natural tranny finder

- Charlie Friedland taking a break from finals just in time to haul ass through all the new snow at Brighton.

- Kyle again poking out a stalefish on this rock to rock landing shortly after he poked out a turd in the woods.

-A backflip over a gap got the best of Sam Spedale again. Just like the Bone Zone.

- I’m no hippy but that’s good stuff

- That might look like a Mohawk but there’s some balls on the back of Scott Blum’s head. I’m not very good at cutting hair.

- Bottoms up. Utah beer sucks.

- Who is that masked man? Scott really getting his night off on the right foot.

- Now I know how it feels to be Sam Spedale, it’s wierd.

- Elliot not feeling so good in the back of Andrew Miller’s truck on the way to party downtown at FICE.

The Hiking has Begun

There is nothing better than the feeling of getting home after the first hike of the season.  Food tastes better, the couch feels more comfortable and the sleep that night is nothing less than satisfying.  After way to long of a dry spell a small system rolled through the Wasatch this week and the surrounding resorts picked up 6-12 inches of new.  Excited for the new snow the crew headed up to Brighton in search of some pow and hopes of enough snow to hike a ridge or two.  We had a great day of mellow cruising ending with a short hike off crest lift the top of pioneer.  We dropped the bowl for making a few good turns and proceeded to make a boot pack for a 20 min hike up a decent untouched east facing slope.  That run was the best of the day and we were spent.  Just a typical weekday shredding with friends in Utah.

The forecast is looking very nice through the weekend.  Stay tuned next week for a major Utah update and some brand new features dropping very soon!

Day At Brighton
By Joe Carter

Finally were back in Utah after a crazy trip to Mammoth. To make it even better there is some new snow in the forecast. We headed up to Brighton to meet up with some people to ride all day and I took the camera out every once in a while to snap a few photos.

Cole the kid slams fucking hard.  Skateboarding is not made for dirt fools.

We have had a long week up at The Bone Zone. Now it’s time to unwind at a house party and hopefully make some bad decisions. There are some of us part of the snowrev crew that are new to Salt Lake City, but I am pretty sure we are all making our presence known. Not all the photos on my camera are for you to see, but I’ll give you a little taste. After a long pregame session at our new house and a big bottle of Sailor Jerry down the hatch, some of memories were a little bit foggy from the night before. Especially after the motorboats, crowd surfing, shotgunning countless beers, and who knows what else. All of course followed by pounding headaches the next morning. So take a gander at us raging and keep checking in for some more wild times with snowrev crew.

This spot is so damn fun. The kids who made the Bone Zone area worked their asses off; It’s not just one or two little rails set up. Nestled in this secret spot lay a bunch of log jibs, bonks, stalls, rails and even a sketchy jump.
For the past few days the crew has been logging mad footy and snapping photos with everybody who rolls up. A typical day usually goes down like this; drive up and load up for a short snowmobile shuttle followed by a small hike and you are at the zone.  After an hour or so of warm up on the down bar a session usually starts on a designated feature, the slaughter fest begins, and lasts until dark…..then repeat this for four days in a row.  All sorts of people rolled up each day.  Way to many to list now, so you will just have to wait until the super mega monstrosity bone zone post is finished. Shit is looking good and should be done real soon. Until then check out some random photos….

- Drop zone…There’s even more stuff further up into the woods

- Everyone waiting for Luke drop on Keegan… wait to see the video clip

- Sam Spedale about 5 seconds after he didn’t get around on a job jam backflip. Is it bad to laugh at your friends after they fall on their face?

- Nick Russell peeping the bumps on kink log

- Hiking all day

- Maybe the blank should be filled in with beer on Keegan’s new Love board

- Kyle towing Andrew’s sled after it blew up during a warm up ride.

- Snowrev flimer, pole jam fixer, shredder, Mark Dangler killing it all the time

- Louie Vito fixing up the slice he just sank his edge into getting sideways

- Mark getting the shot

-  This spot is legit, too bad you probably won’t find it

- Sean Black kills it, but here the rail got the best of him

- The end of a long day

-Sean and I finally ready to get back home

Snowbird Opening Week Session
By Joe Carter

After a crazy trip from Oregon to Colorado and then back to Utah to another long night of partying I was pretty beat. Elliot Levitt came and woke me up bright and early telling me we’re going to Snowbird.  I threw on my gear as fast as I could and figured the fresh air and shredding would help me forget about my hangover. Having no clue what conditions were going to be like I found myself surprised when we got to the mountain and snow was falling on top of a good 5-6inches of new from the night before. The visibility was pretty rough at the top when you got off the tram, but it cleared up as you cruised down. We found some good stash’s of snow and put down a few solid slashes. Then we would hurry right back to the tram and try to get the front spot so we could spot any new lines for the ride down. If you have never been to Snowbird you should probably check it out. They are the first and last resort open in the Salt Lake area with some of the sickest terrain that will only be getting better as everything fills in with more snow.
