Join us this Friday ,October 16th for a celebration of celebrations! As we relish the dwindling days of this balmy autumn, it's seems that Old Man Winter might need a little help in dropping degrees…. And you know what that means!
If you've celebrated the Launch of Winter with us before, you know it's something special, and this year, we have extra reason to celebrate because…. We're 10!

Pic #2 - Sometimes the clouds part and you get serene powder turns.... This wasn't today, it's cloudy and the lower lifts are open... But I'm going to go ski more laps on the bobsled in the trees, act like a 7 year old, and enjoy the hell out of it... Peace!

A dismal snow year has it's up sides. The mountain biking has been all time! Living in Salt Lake City is all about the access. It may be the proximity to the Wasatch range that makes the "Door to Door" missions so appealing. Check out this ride from my house "The Blue Canoe" to the Trax line, Dry Creek and then down the infamous "Bobsled" trail. Filmed all on the Sony Action Cam Mini.

Cody Potter started out as an intern here at Icelantic Skis and is now quickly moving his way up the ranks of all the other athletes on our team. He's been having one hell of a season winning just about every rail contest he enters not to mention making it out to the World University Games in Granada, Spain. If you haven't heard of Cody keep your eyes and ears peeled as we guarantee you'll be seeing a lot of him in the future. Now enjoy some smooth sailing as Cody cruises through the park in Breckenridge, CO.

"My protocol is to align myself spiritually with each cliff I take down. It’s hyper-awareness; of the snow layers, of the trajectory, of the take off, and making sense of, and truly developing a relationship with, the air and distance I know I’ll pass through." - Juilan Carr
All the cool kids have done it, I guess I was feeling a bit left out. So as I neared the end of my 28th winter on skis, I went ahead and blew my ACL.
