I made my first turns of the season on opening day at Snowbird and I began my investigation into whether or not Utah actually has The Greatest Snow on Earth ® as the state’s trademarked motto claims. It’s an investigation that I will work long and hard — even on weekends — to complete.

If you’ve foliowed my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love to surf. It’s not just riding waves that I love, though.
In June 2012 I was fortunate enough to take a trip to Mazatlan Mexico with Go Mazatlan. I was super excited to find out that ziplining would be on our itinerary. I’d never tried it before. I decided to take a chance and bring along my Nikon D90. The risk was worth it. I got some great photos. If you’d like to read more about my experience, check out the post I wrote about it on my blog.
