Put This On, Episode 1: Denim from Put This On on Vimeo.

So as Monday evening rolled in, so did the snow. This not your usual April Utah storm, but right on the coat tails of last weeks powder bringings. This was something more. So much more in fact that the “town” or Snowbird and Alta was shut down on interlodge, which meant that you were not allowed outside if you were a guest of any hotel.

The road remained closed through Tuesday, and this is where our adventure begins at the gates Wednesday morning.

Since you weren’t allowed to wait on the side of the road, we, along with many others, were called to Church on a bluebird Wednesday morning.  Until the time got a little later, and we started creeping..

Quite a line, ready to pounce

Snowbird looking fine…but alas, we pass

Across the bypass road we go, looking at Superior bowl slide from recent.  To see the perspective of this slide, check out the huge UDOT blower in the bottom left corner.  Huge slide.

We are not the first…

Again, not the first….

And a second clip.  Some crazy IMAX quality filming here

Wolfpack Hustle crashed the LA Marathon by hosting an underground bike race on the closed marathon course at 4 am. A once a year opportunity to race 26 miles of Los Angeles with no traffic. This is the newest and third event in the Wolfpack series of underground street races. …

Got up early, but not early enough on Good Friday, right after a heavy dump in the Wasatch.  Trying to get up Little Cottonwood Canyon, home to Snowbird & Alta. (more…)

We were grateful to see our friends over at Outside Magazine graced one of the products that we designed and developed for Eddie Bauer’s First Ascent collection, into their Hall of Fame for 2010.  Thanks guys, makes the extra effort worth it in the end for a superior product.

Wishing Dave Hahn, Melissa Arnot, Chad Peele, and the rest of the First Ascent climbing crew a most safe and successful journey up to Everest, as they embark on their trip to Base camp tomorrow.  All the best guys, and looking forward to all the blog casts!
