Ice Castles
Winter adventures are not limited to skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding! One of the many reasons I love Utah is that there’s opportunity for unique winter adventures.

Snowboarding Lesson at Brighton Resort
“Are you a skier or a snowboarder?” That’s a pretty typical question for the winter sports group in Utah. My answer? Well, I’m neither… yet! As you readers might recall, I tried skiing with my company a couple weeks ago. After the rather traumatizing experience, I think I was hesitant to learn any new sports […]

Floridian, meet Snow
