A couple days ago Shay, from Shayboarder, asked me if I wanted to road trip out to Park City with her for a few days of shred and fun. I had to liquidate some assets and sell off some of my Hybrid Sessions stock to swing this trip, but I couldn't say no to a shred trip and am always down for an adventure.
I met Shay in Steamboat yesterday evening and her, her friend Drew, and I hit the road for Utah. After 5 or so hours on the road, some delicious blue raspberry Icees, some compelling conversation about... Well, interesting subjects to say the least... and nearly obliterating a few deer along the way, we rolled into Park City around 12:30am-ish and crashed for the night.
Shay has some nice connections in Park City, I know Shay, therefore, I have some nice connections in Park City. Ha! Shay's friend Stephine (who is super rad) is letting us crash at her pad and hooked us up with passes to Park City and Canyons for today and this weekend. So, huge thanks to both Shay and Stepahine!
Legend has it that Park City is one of the sickest places to ride in the country and I've always wanted to come check it out. We took our sweet ass time waking up this morning and got to the mountain at about noon. It was a good thing we got there so late really, since the snow conditions were slightly less than epic. It was a super warm bluebird day and after a few runs, the snow started to really soften up, which, funny how it works, had a direct correlation on the amount of fun we were having.
We explored as much of the mountain as we could on our own, hitting up a few of its numerous parks and basically just wandering around, before we met up with Stepahine who took us on some sick runs. Apparently there was a big storm a couple days ago and we were able to find some really nice pow staches left over in the trees. It got hotter and hotter as the day wore on, and by the time we were ready to leave, I was ready to strip off all my clothes and take the last run down naked. Wouldn't that have made for some good footy....
So our first day of riding in Park City was a ton o' fun. We got some really tasty pizza after and are now drinking some frosty brews.... 3.2% of course. We're going to ride Canyons tomorrow and Park City again on Sunday. I'm stacking the footage for one big video at the end of the trip so you can expect that Sunday night or Monday, we'll have to see how motivated I am.
Here are a few photos from the days action. Shay and I both took a bunch of shots and I can't really remember who took which. Peep her site for some more photos and a little vid. Dig it.

Towards the end of the day we found this little hut right as you come out of the trees and Shay proposed I ride it, which I did. Her fancy camera has a sequence setting and she got some good shots. Stephanie also got in on the action.

After riding we had a little time to kill so we went up to the Olympic Park to snoop around. Such a tourist move... But it was a pretty cool and we got some pretty funny photos.
Any resemblance?
