Park City Double Diamond


It was a sweet day of skiing on this Park City Double Diamond. The view was sweet, and the powder was so light.

Here is a video I made for the Park City Trip, which was in response to an email from my brother-in-law asking if I was pumped about the ski trip to Park City.

Park City Utah Prep

In preparation for our trip to Park City on the 25th of January, I am doing some online activities to promote our trip and the various sites and posts that will be developed for the ski trip.

Park City Ski Trip preparation activities will include creating and joining various groups on different Social media websites.

Flickr activity:
Wrote Park City posts here including:
We created two Park City Resort websites which will be developed as blogs, with a primary goal of being sold within 6 months.
Joined several groups on Mixx.
Found some cool Park City Blogs including:
  • ParkCityJournal.com
  • From the Parkcityjournal's site, I found out about SkullCandy.com, which is a new Park City company that sells stylish head phones. I don't know about the head phones, but I love the name.
  • Found the snow board site BadBoySodas.com..sweet site.
I am sure I will be spending some more time online in preparation for the trip. First I may want to find my ski gear. I maybe getting a new set of googles, and new bibs as well. We will be renting our equipment when we get to the mountain. Lizzie's bro has arranged for us to take some ski lessons on our first or second day. From what some people have told me, when skiing on the new shaped skis handle much more differently, and to be able to appreciate them you need to get a lesson so that you can enjoy then to their max. I have heard that if you ski on shaped skis like you were on skis pre shaped skis, it will actually take more energy. Well at any rate, lessons are in order, and we shall see how we do.

I should be posting exclusively on the new sites during our trip, but I will be putting posts about any excellent meals we have onto our restaurant review site, thegrubhound.com. I will also be make some videos during the trip and will create some groups on Viddler.

Preparing for Park City Ski Trip

In preparation for our ski trip to Park City at the end of the month, I decided it would be wise to do a little bit of exercising. Even before I decided to start exercising I came across this video, and thought it would make a good post for the pre-Park City ski trip.

A friend of mine, suggested that I do wall squats, or at least that's what I think they are called. It involves putting your back against a wall and then squatting down so that your legs form a chair, then lift one leg off the ground and hold it for 15 to 30 seconds. Then do the same with the other.

In addition to the wall squats, I'll have to start doing some of the exercises on this video and on the SkiExerciseWorkouts.com website.

Bunbury Australia road trip (ITPv20)

I just came across this video of a Indie Tavel who visited Bunbury Australia recently. It from the sounds of Bunbury Australia video, I think it would be a great place for Lizzie and I to vacation some time.

Australia is definitely on the list of places for us to travel to.
