Spontaneous trip to visit some friends turned out to be a trip that far exceeded any expectations I had for Salt Lake. This place is out of an outdoorsman’s best dream. From the moment you fly into SLC, you notice all the incredible mountains that tower over the city. Everything is shockingly close, which makes access to the mountains and all the its fun just 100x better.

Go Big or go home right? … The famous last words from one of your buddies that always ends up in medical, at least once a ski season.

Okemo, has a massive footprint which allows for the dispersion of crowds. …
