Pre XMAS Gift for the Wasatch Mountains

Hello All!

I woke up this morning not really knowing what the snow god had in mind for all of us here in the Salt Lake City area, and got a huge smile on my face when my friends from the Deep Powder House (in beautiful Alta, UT.), had the weather forecast posted to my home page, and I knew that Christmas was going to be epic. Just like a little kid who knew he would be getting what he wanted for XMAS, this is what I was privy to:

Now that I know all of my prayers have been answered by the snow gods, and the DPH (Deep Powder House) has taken an active role in meteorology, they are also the best Ski shop out west if not the U.S. The Deep Powder House has been in Alta for 50 years and has everything for your skiing needs. And I mean everything! Nordic, Tele, Slalom, and yes even the Uniskiier's can get their fix at the DPH! They have been in Ski Magazines Top Ten Ski Shop Series, constantly throughout the years. If your still not impressed, they are the oldest ski shop in the state of Utah! So it's a historical state landmark! Well, okay maybe not an official state landmark, but pretty damn close! The staff will exceed your expectations when your "pseudo" pro skiers from New York and Texas, just can't seem to get your ski's to work in the 700 inches of powder that coats the mountains to work, they will cater to your ego by putting you in an easier ski that really skis itself in these conditions, because after all it has nothing to do with your skiing abilities, but your faulty equipment. Though I digress, to see what the Deep Powder House has to offer and hours of operation, please visit them at http://www.deeppowderhouse.com/, and let em now that Sawickied sent ya, cause you may just get a discount. Now if you get to the mountain and don't know where to go, they are located next to the Gold Miner's Daughter, just above the kids towrope. Anyway folks hope that if you are in Alta, and in need of ski equipment this is mos def. the place to go! Sawickied
