Price and American Fork July 4, 2008

My buddy Josh and I decided to do some riding down in Price, Utah on the 4th. Fuzzy a local bike shop owner has been slaving away creating sick singletrack down in Price for the last couple years. He has been trying to let people see the potential of what he has created and what is still to come. Josh and I headed down to Price nice and early at 6am to be there in time for the ride at 9am. We rode for about 3 hours, got some lunch and headed back to SLC. On the way back we decided to stop in American Fork and do a quick 6 mile loop, the riding was awesome. Even without fireworks this 4th of July was a blast…

Josh taking a rest, notice the mountain rising up from the desert in the background.

Luke’s Trail is strewn with fun technical rock drops, me partaking.

Now onto American Fork, I had heard the riding wasn’t that great because some of the trails were destroyed by dirtbikes and atvs. But the singletrack that was good was spectacular. Here are some of the better shots from the day.

Some downhill action, this rooted section was fun.

Making a turn, need to lean a bit more.

Another great view of Timp from the top of our ride, the wild flowers are in full effect.

Skiing in the Wasatch: Spring and Summer 2008

This winter we were blessed in the Wasatch with an incredibly deep snowpack. Little Cottonwood received over 600 inches of the Best Snow on Earth. This translates into great skiing into the spring and summer months in both the Wasatch backcountry and at Snowbird. We are still skiing as of the end of June and I plan to be making turns in August. Enjoy the photos.
