One Foxy Lady

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that if you haven't heard of this metaphorical "Little" lady Roxy, well we are here to tell you that: Welcome Out Of Your Coma!!! Roxy, is everywhere! From the slopes to shootin the pipeline, to riding your bus line and the subway. This company has the ability to give you ladies the most dank snow gear, and then change into the hottest swimwear and ride the most innovative boards, respectively in both sports. And if that isn't enough you can change after a hard day riding you can change and put on Roxy perfume and still bag you the hottest dude on the slopes or beach. Honestly, I'm not even a good writer but I would like to think I have a lot to say, but I'm really at a loss for words. I can only hope that another company that I know of (Sawickied Ski and Board Wear) could reach the global sports community in the way this chic has! So in the words of what and who Roxy is; who better to tell you than the girl herself. So with no further adieu,

"I'm not just a really cool clothing brand, I'm a lifestyle that you probably live too, along with Roxy world champions and pros like Lisa Andersen, Sofia Mulanovich, Chelsea Gerogeson, Kjersti Buaas and Torah Bright. I love the ocean and everything about it, whether I'm surfing in Fiji with my friends, or standing at the water's edge in France, while the waves pull the sand out from under my feet, back to the sea...I love it. I ride powder in Canada and dare to jump off backcountry cliffs in Switzerland. I love adventure and traveling. I keep up on the latest fashion trends and make up my own. I sometimes go to bed with salty hair after a fun day of surfing. I take care of my environment and help out my favourite charity. I love music and trading songs on my iPod with all the people I meet on my travels around the world." Roxy's official myspace page. So props to the ladies and the chics that rock our socks! Peace and Much Love - Sawickied

This is Truly an Addiction

Hey all,

I want you guys to check this out, it is mind blowing! Utah Kite Addiction Utah Kite Addiction, based in beautiful Ogden Valley, will be the first and only PASA Certified Snowkiting School in Utah dedicated to sharing the addiction of snowkiting. Surrounded with riding areas like Powder Mountain, Monte Cristo, Pineview Reservoir, and local fields, this is the perfect place to learn to snowkite. In a rare event it is not blowing at one of these locations, enjoy a day of skiing or boarding at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin Resorts.
We safely and effectively teach our clients the fundamentals of snowkiting thus starting their journey into the sport of snowkiting and kite riding. Other forms of kite riding include kiteboarding on water, kitesurfing waves, kite land boarding, and kite buggying. Learning to snowkite is the easiest and safest way to get into kite riding. Then of course you'll be able to take your skills to water as well. Check it out, this is nails! Can't wait to start seeing them on the Extreme Circuit and the X Games soon. I also have a huge hunch that Warren Miller (knowing him and passion for snow) will get to it soon enough to really to get it out to the masses. Peace and Much Love! Sawickied

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:

NWS Digital Forecast Data for Alta

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
