Alta Ski Resort will be hosting Bluehouse for a free demo day this Saturday, March 7th. Come by the tent in front of Goldminer's Daughter and go shred the mountain on some Mavens, Shoots, Districts or MRs. We'd love to meet you--can't wait to see you there!
Bluehouse
Went touring up Little Cottonwood Canyon Friday afternoon of last week. The skiing wasn't that great. But the views and a couple of hours of solid aerobic activity made it a perfect late afternoon tour.
Bluehouse will be at the US Open Snowkite Masters event on Saturday, Feb. 28. Bluehouse will be giving snowkiters the opportunity to test out the District and the Maven ski on their kite set-up.
If you'll be there, look for the banner and ask for a demo ride!
The Snowkite Masters event also gives veterans and newbies an equal opportunity to get involved. It's a three-day event starting Friday, Feb. 27 and ending Sunday, March 1. For a detailed schedule of events and mor details, visit the Snowkite Masters Website.
We got a couple inches of new stuff today, so happy day to those who can make it out!

Just a heads up to all those who live along the northern Wasatch Front. This Saturday Bluehouse is holding a demo day at Powder Mountain. If you already own a pair of Bluehouse Skis, make sure to tell your friends so they can come and try out the skis for free.
We hope to see you there.

There is only one right way to end the week and that is on a snowcat. Now I just need some rich CEO to back me so I can do this every Friday- This footage is off James Peak at Powder Mountain which can be accessed via a 20 minute hike from one of their $12 snowcat rides. FYI, you're probably going to want to load your Mavens in the side bins as the rear ski rack is too small to hold those beasts.

probably the biggest huck i've ever done on the east coast.
Last week was off the hook here in Utah and after missing out on a couple of days of the storm I knew a pink snow ski would be money.
Pink snow at sunrise is a real treat, not to be confused with the evening orange sunset snow or the yellow I just....snow.
In the Wasatch there aren't many better places to make the most of your morning sunrise pink snow than on Little Superior.
After an early rise and a furious pace to get to the top of Little Superior last Thursday, we waited a few minutes for the sun to peak over the distant range. The wait was worth it and my Districts were the money ski, despite being the skinniest of the bunch.
So Caitlin just had a friend bail at the last minute who was supposed to accompany her to Taos, NM for an on snow demo event Bluehouse will be participating in on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Bluehouse is now seeking a travel buddy for Caitlin so she won't have to travel alone. If you would be interested in leaving from Salt Lake City, Utah to Taos, NM on Tuesday (tomorrow) or would like to meetup "en route" for an all expenses paid ski trip give me a call at 801.232.5367 or email me at jared@bluehouseskis.com.
Thanks,
Jared
Last week was filled with variety--and I'm still smiling. Went strolling for chutes one day, skiied with the Bluehouse Dawn Patrol on Valentines, taught a friend how to skin, and spent a day at Solitude with the fam. That's what's skiing is all about: getting outside and enjoying good company. Below are a few shots of last week's adventures.
