Hand Jammin’

Filed on: May 3rd, 2012 By: Porter Haney

The beginning.
A few weeks ago we were sitting around SLC cooking Cuban Sandwiches and Butter Beans. Before too long we’d devoured the delicious eats and we’re indulging in some of our favorite Rye whiskeys. Dwyer was getting his pun on and repeatedly …

A Little Ditty

Filed on: March 6th, 2012 By: Porter Haney

Here’s a little ditty about (Jack and Diane) a crew of exceptional powder skiers, beard-encrusted comedians, and friends of a higher order.

Filed on: June 9th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

Well, I think my ski season is over. With mucho inches still high in Utah, it’s hard to say conclusively, but given that I have other pressing things to do, it’s pretty likely I’m not strapping on a pair of …

Filed on: May 26th, 2011 By: Sam

Ain’t Nothing Gonna Break My Stride

Filed on: May 20th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

The snow’s always light in the Wasatch.  We never get the quagmire that Tahoe calls snow.  Definitely not.
At least that’s what we thought.  40 inches of snow and 5 inches of water later, we’re neck deep in the quick snow. The …

Let me tell you something. You’re out schussing with friends.  You’ve skinned up to the top of a handsome peak, covered in POW.  You’re ready to drop into a face, pristine without a single track in it.  Boots buckled, poles …

Cold Town, Winter in the City

Filed on: February 28th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

As eloquent as the Lovin’ Spoonful put it in summer of ’66,  we took it upon ourselves to adjust their classic tune for another season – Cold Town, Winter in the City.   Not just any cold town either, but the cold …

Utah: Winter Returns on a NW Flow

Filed on: February 4th, 2011 By: Lionel Hutz

I know it has been a tough month for LCC.  A sloppy rainy once in 30 year storm over MLK day turned parts of LCC into the Adirondacks.  And since there isn’t an edge grinder within 900 miles of Alta, …

Chasing Rays

Blasting up the dark Canyon road, Colby, Dwyer and I we’re hankering for some blissful laps in upper Little Cottonwood hopefully  bathed in some warm morning sun.  It’s been extra cold recently, as low as -49F in Logan Canyon,with temperatures dropping …

UFO Sighting

Filed on: January 11th, 2011 By: Porter Haney

Dwyer’s been absent from almost all of the FIS posts this winter.  And for good reason, his schussing skills have progressed to the point where he skis so quickly that he is nearly impossible to catch on film.  OR. And …

The Upper Crust

Filed on: November 17th, 2010 By: Porter Haney

Utah has been lucky to squeeze 80 inches of snow out of the Fall storm clouds.  This has meant the opening of Brighton, Solitude, and Snowbird, last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, respectively.    In reality, this means the ski areas have …

Wakin’ Up Winter

Filed on: October 25th, 2010 By: Porter Haney

CAW CAW CAW.

Schusstember

Filed on: September 30th, 2010 By: Porter Haney

After many hot summer months, and too few Indian Winters, Dwyer decided that the only way he’d complete his lets-ski-every-month-of-the-year-streak would be to pilfer the the holiest of Alta’s pistes: The Devil’s Castle.  Dwyer shares the same zest for small …

Great Basin

Filed on: August 10th, 2010 By: Porter Haney
