Winter is Here!
Fully on. UT mountains are getting dumped on. I took my last final yesterday, and now it’s ski everyday time for me!
The next few weeks are going to be busy. As a Roxy team member, I will be helping out with demos and clinics to get the word about our hardgoods, including the first ever women’s reverse camber ski, the Mumbo Jumbo. Check out these cute photos from the demo we did at the Canyons last Saturday (all Canyons photos by Liz Sherry):
The crew, Meredith Riley, Iris Noack, me, Sam Lee, Lizzy Sherry, and Emily Barrett.
It was so cold and snowy that we have to come up with fun things to do to stay warm, like sledding!
This was actually a really steep hill.
Jump roping–which gets you warmed up quickly!

We have another demo tomorrow at Alta so come on up and try out the new skis! Then I’m off to Jackson for the opening of the tram in this sweet ride:

It’s so good to be done with school and to be able to focus on skiing. All that fresh snow isn’t going to track itself out!

The weather outlook is amazing for the next week. See you on the slopes!
Snowbird December 7, 2008
Between studying for finals and crocheting hats, I did manage to find some time to sneak up to the mountains this weekend.
Here’s a video I put together of my friends, skiing on what Cait called "Commando Friday."
And some shots from today at Snowbird (photos by Brent Benson):
Check out this super cool crop of the sugary snow and my custom bedazzled boots!
So rad. Fun weekend. I <3 the Snow. Let’s pray for more.
Great Idea for Christmas Presents
Crochet a hat!
Crocheting is so easy and fun, and your friends and family will love these handmade gifts. The best way to get started is to go to your local yarn store. My favorite one in Salt Lake is called Soul Spun Yarn. My friend, Somer Gardiner, started the shop a few years ago, and it has the best selection of yarn and supplies in the valley. She also teaches crochet and knitting classes.
There are two classes coming up where you can learn to make gifts that will be done by the 25th. They are on Dec. 17 from 6:30-8:30 and Dec. 20 from 2-4.
Call ahead and sign up!

Ever since I started crocheting, I’ve had a really hard time putting my hook and yarn down. It is really addictive, but unlike video games or Facebook chatting, you actually have something to show for yourself when you are done. It’s a delightful feeling to be able to look at a hat, sweater vest, or pair of hand warmers and say, I made those.
Here are some of my recent projects:
Here’s my cousin, Mara Gronseth, in the birthday hat I made for her.
Me in my new favorite ski hat that I just made.
The possibilities are endless! And both guys and girls of all ages will enjoy crocheting or knitting.
Something I am so excited about…
My New SKIS!!!
Check these beautiful babies out!
140 in the tip and 110 underfoot. I am going to be the happiest powder skier this winter. And those graphics are like my dream come true.
