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

Phat Ski's for Atomic Skiers

Since we have the inside information on the skiing conditions where we are playing, we wanted to pass on a valuable tool for the deep powder skiing! Sugardaddys are a must in conditions when playing in the steep and deep! These ski's are epic in the deep and steepest of runs. They are effortless in the snow as the width and the more forgiving engineering of the ski engineers of the Atomic put into this ski takes the cake. Now I know that the skiers that are more adapt to the phat stiff boards would argue this point. As the stiff will plow the pow, no doubt, but if your in and out of the groom and deep you have the best of both worlds with the atomic Sugar line. Give them a try I promise you will not be disappointed. Sawickied

Affordable Health Care in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons areas!

Hey all!

Wanted to share a very important topic while visiting and playing in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyon areas, here in the Salt Lake City Area. Unfortunately, part of playing hard is paying the price when we yard sale it hard, Huck a cliff and land just slightly wrong, or catch an edge while bombing a run. That's right, the injuries that occur from our trying to show off to the rest skiers on the mountain, or trying to woo our significant others. It is inevitable that when you ski hard enough, you eat snow equally as hard. Now as professional ski bums most of us can't afford health insurance, because lets face it gear is far more important that our health! I am here to offer you light at the end of the tunnel. If you are hurt to the point of needing immediate hospitalization, by all means go. Though if you are able to hunt for a Doctor in the area we have a very low cost alternative from the most caring Doc's in the area. Dr. Kara Clapp, located about 12 miles from the ski areas, who is interested in only one thing, the well being of your health. She offers a no wait service, and the best part of the visit is she charges you by the minute that you are in her care. The average time spent in her clinic is 30 minutes @ 2.50 a minute. Obviously, depending on what you are being seen for and the severity of your injury this is subject to change, but she will leave no stone unturned. Moreover, if you call her from the slopes from the time you arrive at her office, she will be there waiting when you arrive. So, when planning your ski vacation, please have her information with you just in case. For all of her contact information please visit her at her website which is http://www.doctorkara.com/, and store her phone number in your cell phone. I know that she has been a life saver for me, and will follow up with you until she knows that you are getting better, or will give you referrals until she knows that you are in the best care possible. I must stress, if you require immediate attention by all means go to the hospital immediately. If not she is the most affordable health care in the Salt Lake City area. Also, if she feels that you need more attention that what she can give, she can get you into the closest hospital, with little to no wait. So my fellow powder hounds, from a twisted ankle to the common cold, this is the place to be! We here at Sawickied Ski Stash hope that you will not need her services, but it is always stellar to have a back up plan that will not break your bank account. Tell her Ryan Sawicki send you for a possible discount!

Skiing the best Mountain in Steamboat Springs but it is not Mt.Werner??

Hey All,

We wanted to pay tribute to a great city in northwest Colorado, Steamboat Springs! To me this is the best city in Colorado. I had the luxury of living here for 2 years, and will be commenting on Steamboat quit a bit, as there are so many things to do and see while visiting the boat. Today we are going to give you a little insight on where the best skiing is in Steamboat, and it in not Mt. Werner. So where is this secret place that hides all the powder? Buf Pass! That's right Buf Pass, has the best skiing/boarding in Steamboat hands down. Now, if your not traveling to Steamboat with a snowmobile, we recommend that you save yourself a lot of time and effort by using the Steamboat Powder Cats! These guys are great! Now, not only are you going to ride in a state of the art SnowCat (which is very cool in itself) you are also in for the best powder skiing in Steamboat. They know the area like the back of their hand, and make sure you get in the most runs as possible for the day, and they do it with that Steamboat flair that will keep you coming back year after year. I'm not saying that Mt.Werner is not a wonderful mountain, and I'm not saying that you will not want to ski there most of the time while on your vacation. What I am suggesting is that once you take this excursion with the Powder Cats, you will make it a priority to book with them every year you come back. I know that it is a must for myself, and my ski buddies when we hit the boat! So check it out cause we here at the blog and Sawickied Ski Co. give it 5 stars out of 5! You can find all the information you need about the company at http://www.steamboatpowdercats.com/, and the rest is all uphill from there! Much love all - Sawickied
