Fat Flake Festival
What a weekend…
Saturday, Alta opened. Thanks to everyone who came and donated a jacket to go to the homeless. They received over 2,000 jackets in the first 3 hours, drastically exceeding their initial goal of 500.
Last night was Ski Utah’s annual Fat Flake Festival, a party to kick off the beginning of another ski season. They had a ski boot race, athlete poster signing, real wood campfires to toast marshmallows, live music, and much more. I had two favorite parts of the night. First was Alta’s booth. Here’s a shot of Connie Marshall and me, rocking it old school style.
My other favorite was the Vintage Ski Clothing Contest. I want to give a big shout out to all the contestants who dressed up! I know it isn’t always easy walking around downtown in neon stretch pants or old racing suits (I’ve dealt with the funny looks and weird comments all my life). But dozens of people last night did it and you did it with style. Congratulations to Justin Stoddard who took first place and won a brand new pair of Rossignol skis, courtesy of Ski Utah. Thanks to Alta for voting my costume into the finals and giving me a chance to show it off. Here are some pictures from the contest (photos by Chris Pearson, Ski Utah):

Thanks to Ski Utah for putting on such a fun event again this year. Now let’s all PRAY FOR SNOW!
