Ride Utah Blog

Today was the first day where I felt like you could let it rip a little bit without worrying what lurks beneath.  Here’s a quick video from another great day at Solitude.

Here’s some footage of the recent snow at the Bird.

On Sunday I was up at Solitude for the opening of the Powderhorn chair.  While conditions were still a little thin, there was some great snow out there.  Here’s a video with some of the action.

Looks like a fun flick.  The dude is a legend.

Check out this video that Max Raymer, Ride Utah’s favorite mini shred and Burton rider, sent us.  Filmed in Utah and New Zealand, Max is holding it down.  I knew this kid could kill it in the park, but, now he’s holding it down in the powder too?  Look out for this kid.

Last night I was at the Gateway in Salt Lake for the Utah Premiere of It’s Always Snowing Somewhere.  The kids were out in force last night and pro riders were out front signing autographs.  Inside the theatre filled up quickly and everyone was ready to shift their mind to winter mode.

It didn’t take long.  Within the first 1 minute of the movie starting we were thrown straight into a world of nipple deep powder and pillow lines.  The Burton crew only showed the Northern Hemisphere section of the movie, but, that was enough to get the stoke flowing.  From the East Coast, to Japan, to Alaska, and of course Utah the movie traversed the globe in search of deep powder, steep lines, and huge air.  The Burton Team clearly had a constructive season last year getting after it all over the world.  The music in this flick was also really good.  Each track pumping loudly through the THX system at the Gateway.

Definitely pick up this movie.  I want it just so I can see the Southern Hemisphere stuff as well.

The Burton Team movie, It’s Always Snowing Somewhere is coming to the Gateway tomorrow.  Don’t miss this.  Meet some of your favorite pros, maybe get some free stuff, and watch a sick movie for free.  Autographs start at 5.  Movie starts at 7.  Tickets available first come first serve.  After party starts at 8.  See you there.

Returning for it’s 59th season the Latest Warren Miller Film is coming to Utah.  And once again it is featuring Utah.  For the 3rd year in a row, Utah was in Warren Millers lens and what a year to do it.  We had tons of great snow so you know there will be tons of great footage.  Now, we just need to see if they can get any good snowboard shots.
