Back in the early days of commercial flights, travelers would get dressed up in Sunday best when they traveled on a plane. Today, people are going for comfort when they plan to spend a few hours flying cross-country. So it’s safe to say that finding the best travel pants that offer style and comfort is…
Utah is known for some amazing winter activities for the whole family. Here’s an activity that doesn’t require strapping on skis. But it does involve dressing warm for the cold weather. Ice Castles in Midway, Utah, is a wonderful winter wonderland meant for exploring. There really is nothing else like it in Utah, and it’s…
Utah has opportunity for adventure year round. In the winter, most people think of skiing or tubing down a mountain side. It wasn’t until this year that I thought a guided snowmobile tour would be worth checking out. After spending two hours riding 20 miles on a snowmobile with Park City Peaks Snowmobiling, I knew…
Hiking in winter provides a whole new outlook on the terrain. Seeing the trees covered in snow while the sun is beating down on you is one of the great things about winter in Utah. My kids suggested we take a hike, so we did. A winter hike up and around Bells Canyon Reservoir in…
Do you feel the need? The need for speed? Then I recommend you take the family tubing at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway, Utah. My kids weren’t sure what to expect when our tubes starting sliding down the hill. But when they felt the wind rushing against their faces, we were all laughing with…
Alta Ski Area is a short drive from Salt Lake City. While people travel from all over the world to spend a few days skiing The Greatest Snow on Earth, many locals head up Little Cottonwood Canyon for a day on the slopes. I’ve enjoyed some time on the Alta Ski Area runs over the…
I often find myself wondering what family activity we can do in the winter that won’t break the bank. I also wonder what the kids will actually enjoy, since each of the five have very different opinions. A couple weekends ago, we decided to ice skate at the Utah Olympic Oval. Everyone had a great…
Even though my wife is a Utah native, she went skiing for the first time just last year. Her biggest concern: I was her instructor. (j/k) But Cherry Peak Ski Resort in northern Utah was perfect for her first time. Friendly staff, a bunny hill and some simple green runs make it a fantastic spot…
I don’t consider myself a “Beginner” skier. But I don’t feel I’ve reached “Intermediate” skier status just yet either. I’m stuck between the two levels. So a solo, first-time visit to Brighton Ski Resort sounded intimidating to me. But after spending several hours on its slopes, I was feeling a lot more confident… and tired….
I’ll be honest: I’m not the biggest fan of skiing. I have ski lift anxiety (it’s a thing! haha!). But I really enjoyed a day on the slopes with my brother at Beaver Mountain up Logan Canyon. 2021-2022 SEASON: Beaver Mountain Ski Resort is open for the season. You can buy day-of tickets at the…
