Alta Opening
November 20, 2009 - 2:00 pm
Posted in Uncategorized | 5 comments
Coverage is thin at Alta and we are in desperate need of some snow. There is a storm in the forecast for the weekend, but it is not looking like it will produce much. Highboy is decent up top, but gets a little bit bare near the bottom making it hard to avoid the bushes. [...]

Sunday morning marked the end of my time in Colorado and the start of my season in Alta. The ride out of Colorado and up towards Wyoming was going great, until we hit a bit of a snag. One 360 into the ditch, a downed mile marker, a nice dent, and two hours later we [...]

If stay in La Punta you will get to see sunsets like this one almost every night, not that you won’t at Carrizalillo and Zicatela too. La Punta is way more relaxed then the scene a little bit up the beach at Zicatela, which I think is a good thing in a town like Puerto. [...]
Down Time A-Lodge Style
A little bit of down time at the A-lodge means it is time for a prank. Catie had to open the front desk at 6:30. Alan and Clifton decided to make it look like they had a hard night of partying behind the desk, enjoy. Down Time from Scott Lommele on Vimeo.
Tell Richard Bass
I don’t think I will be getting the Alta/Bird pass this winter Richard Bass, who owns the Utah resort, has partnered with William H. Hunt to form PacRim Coal LLC, which has submitted permit applications to build a giant coal mine that the groups say would not only raise the planet’s temperature but also destroy [...]
Music Videos I’m Diggin
The first video was made for the song “On the Motorway” by Metronomy and is from their 2008 album Nights Out. The album is pretty fresh in terms of Electronic, it is worth a listen. Here is another track from the album Metronomy-The End of You Too . Music Painting by JUL & MAT from [...]

If you are in the Boulder area this Thursday come to CU and check out The Yes Men Fix the World at the International Film Series. The preview looks hilarious, there are two showings, 7:00 and 9:00. Entrance is $6 for non CU students, and $5 for students, click here for directions to the theater. [...]
Storm Days
Wild Cat Pow from Scott Lommele on Vimeo. I think anyone that regularly skis Alta can agree, storm days are better than blue bird powder days. I think the canyon may have been closed for a while in the morning, so we got some nice country club action at the start.

Puerto Escondido – La Punta Puerto Escondido means Hidden Port, this might have been true when it was named, but today it is just a name. With one of the heaviest and most famous shorebreaks in the world, it did not take long for Puerto to become a must surf location known worldwide. In recent [...]

Last night I went down to the Muenzinger Auditorium at CU to check out the latest movie playing in the International Film Series. Crude is a documentary that deals with a class action lawsuit filed against Chevron/Texaco by 30,000 Ecuadorian natives. The film examines the suffering that the alleged pollution of Chevron/Texaco has caused in [...]
