Alta Spring Festival 2009

I love spring in Salt Lake–it’s a glorious time of year where you can wear shorts and a tank top one day and jeans and moon boots the next.  I’ve had some exciting multisport days with groomers or a backcountry hike in the morning, swimming mid day and laps around Liberty park on the skateboards and rollerskates in the early evening.

Alta is hosting a free public demo on April 11 where you can come test out next year’s skis.  This is one of my favorite events of the year at Alta. 

The locals in Little Cottonwood love to dress up in crazy ski outfits during the warm spring days.  Make sure you have your closing day outfit prepared by checking out Thrift Town’s Spring Fling Sale, where you can save 30% on clothing March 27.  They are located at 3300 S and 1300 E.

Kavu Elements Tour in Big Sky Montana

After a weekend of rest after finishing the Shootout, Alexa Miller and I decided to head up to Big Sky Montana to shoot photos and meet up with the Kavu Elements Tour.

Apres party at Big Sky with the Elements Tour.

The firetruck in the photo is "Baby" who runs without petroleum on vegetable oil.

Today we took a day off skiing and relaxed at the Yellowstone Hot springs.

After a thorough soak, we headed to Chico to hit up an awesome bar, restaurant, hot spring and resort place.

The bar was established in the 1900s!  Montana has so many beautiful, quirky places.  I love it everytime I come here.

We will be skiing and shooting at Big Sky, Bridger and possibly in the Crazy Mountains for the rest of the week.
