15 inches of the Greatest Snow on Earth fell yesterday and Ride Utah and Ski Utah we’re there to tear up every last inch of it.

There’s a new beast roaming Utah’s backcountry. In areas that were once only accessible by snowmobile, snow cats, and backcountry skiers there is a new game in town. A Subaru STI outfitted with cat tracks is now powering through the trees and to the top of a peak near you. Built for DC’s Shoes and Snowboards owner and Utah Resident Ken Block this one of a kind whip will be turning heads again this winter in the backcountry. Check out the video.

The 2008-09 Season was fantastic in Utah with over 600 inches of the Greatest Snow on Earth burying the state. Here at Ski Utah and Ride Utah we got more than our fair share of powder days. It’s already snowing here in Utah and we’re gearing up for another fantastic season. Subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on the latest storms, powder days, and good times. See you on the slopes!

You might know that I’m a big fan of Powder Mountain and I love it when people figure out just how rad Pow Mow really is.  Looks like it didn’t take the Rossignol crew long to find Pow Mow’s gems.  Check out their great video.

The good folks at Whole Foods understand that for peak performance in the mountains you need healthy food to fuel your adventures. Here’s a little video they made showing the healthy and wholesome options available at Whole Foods next time your headed for the hills.

With 30 inches in 2 days, we decided to take the morning off of work and get after it.  First we hit up Millicent at Brighton and then shot over to Solitude for a couple of runs “near” Summit.  Good times.
