25 Ski Days in 2026

Well, I got in 25 days of skiing in 2026. I had some fun of course, but I also had several extremely scary experiences. The good thing is, I made it through it all without getting injured. Let It Snow. Yeehaw! 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Palisades Tahoe – Day 25

Here I am with Chris Schade at Palisades Tahoe, it’s my 25th day skiing in 2026, and this is my last day. It’s a beautiful day and it’s warm. 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Park City – Day 24

It was another super nice day here at Park City, Utah on Friday March 13th. We had a great time skiing early, but later it got crowded and slushy again. So we played it safe and called it quits. We love Park City, Yeehaw! 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Park City – Day 23

On Wednesday March 12th Callie and I enjoyed a real nice day and had a great time skiing at Park City, Utah. It got kind or slushy and crowded as the day wore on, but we had our fill, Yeehaw! 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Deer Valley – Day 22

Callie and I had a great time skiing at Deer Valley Resort again on Tuesday March 10th. It was a nice and sunny day, we started early and got several runs in. Shortly after noon it got slushy so we called it a day, Yeehaw! 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Deer Valley – Day 21

When Callie and I were at Deer Valley Resort today Monday March 9th, the ‘Homeward Bound’ run was solid ice. It was a time consuming, death defying, regrettable choice. But we had fun anyway! 🥶😨😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

It was a Blue Bird day Saturday March 7th at Park City, UT. The skiing was great early, but it started getting busy late morning. I had fun skiing at Park City! 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Low Tire Pressure Warning

I just got this set of MIchelin CrossClimate2 Tires last December. This puncture was too close to the sidewall, so the tire had to be replaced. The crew at Discount Tire in Draper, Utah did a great job getting me back on the road, Yeehaw! 😎🌞❄️☀️

Park City – Day 18

Another Blue Bird day at Park City, Utah. The skiing conditions early were icy, but later it loosened up and conditions were great, and I had an excellent time – Yeehaw! 🥶😨😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

I went back to Copper Mountain on March 2nd and got the best parking space in the Union Creek lot. 🥶😨😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Copper Mountain – Day 15

I had fun on my first visit to Copper Mountain on February 28th until it got too busy. 🥶😨😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Beaver Creek – Day 14

The lower parts of the mountain at Beaver Creek were icy on February 27th, so it wasn’t quite as much fun as it usually is… 🥶😨😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Wolf Creek – Day 7

I had a great time skiing on January 16th at Wolf Creek in Colorado. It was only 10° F, but with 80% Humidity, it was ultra cold! 🥶😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Wolf Creek – Day 6

Today, at Wolf Creek Dana gave me a one hour lesson I’ll never forget. I’m already an advanced skier, but I knew I could use some expert… 😎🌞❄️☀️⛷🏂

Pagosa Springs, Colorado

I drove to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and there was a beautiful sunset tonight. My plan is to ski Wolf Creek tomorrow, Yeehaw!

My IKON pass came today! And it came with some cool artwork by Chris Benchetler. I plan on using my IKON pass all over the Western U.S. while driving on a massive road trip this winter – Yeehaw!

WorldMark Wolf Creek

I was super lucky and got a real nice room at the WorldMark Wolf Creek in Eden, Utah for a great deal. It was incredibly quiet there. Which is exactly what I needed after spraining my left knee Tuesday 3/25/2025 at Snowbasin Resort. Jeff, one of the maintenance guys offered to help and even brought me some crutches, which I sure needed at the time. What a bunch of great people!

Moose Almost Got Me

Watch closely on the right-hand side of the guard rail. At 00:27 you can see the moose about to jump over the guard rail and thankfully, it changes direction. If not, I may have been killed instantly.
