Icelantic PR Day with KSL Radio and Snowbasin

I had the chance to be apart of an excellent PR day pumping up Icelantic Skis and Snowbasin.  Scott VerMerris and I entertained the KSL Outdoor Radio Show hosts and Jodi Holmgreen, PR Manager of Snowbasin.  We had a good bluebird day on good snow with good people.

Each person seemed very skeptical of the ski shapes and size recommendations, but were sold by the end of the day.  We had guys not wanting to give up their Shamans so that another could try it out.  It was a lot of fun watching the excitement and enjoyment that all were having. 

We had a good lunch at Earl's Lodge, a great interview on the patio, Scotty absolutely killed it, and a fun little impromptu photo session with Bryan Smith.  Too bad we didn't get that done earlier in the day otherwise we could have gotten some sweet cliff shots in before the snow hardened up.  Here's a couple of the pics courtesy of Jeff Sory of KSL Radio and Bryan Smith of Snowbasin (Jeff had the group shots, and Bryan did the action shots).

Black Diamond Gear Swap

I love this event; Not only do I get to find some good buys of things I "need" for ski season, unload my gear and come home with some money, but I get to feel the electricity in the air of winter being right around the corner.

I didn't take much to the gear swap this year since I don't have much to sell, but I didn't come home with much either. You see, I've learned to curb my gear purchasing, mainly due to the fact that I have 95% of the things I need and haven't been purchasing much recently...... of course I know you're all sitting their thinking "yeah right." Trust me, that 5% is a lot of items.

Since I saved Christian a spot last year, he was supposed to get there earlier than me and grab a spot. Yeah that didn't happen. I arrived about 6:20 and the place was already half full. I managed to grab spots for Christian and Scotty V, the Icelantic Ski Team Manager. We had our own little party section.

Winter is right around the corner. Yay!!
