Travis Rice Joins A Union
So, we reported that Travis Rice signed a deal to the newly formed NOW Bindings with part ownership while up at Baldface recently... umm, we were misinformed (damn, Canadian in-the-know!). Rice was offered a deal with NOW but turned to Seattle's Best.
It appears that Rice has signed with non-other than American strong hold, Union Bindings. Our Canadian informant, is being brought to his "bed" where he will be water boarded for the next seven days for getting the facts screwed-up.
On the flip side, this seems to be a marriage made in heaven for Rice-he no longer has to pretend to be using Bent Metal Bindings and gets to put his boots into some real deals.
You heard it hear first, Rice is on Union.

Upsidedown Snow at Solitude
*All images: Forrest Gladding
Fun day. This was my first real (kind of) pow day this season. BCC received about 8" of fresh (12" in loaded spots), heavy goodness. We schralped some upper bowls and headed to Summit Chair for greater top-to-bottom.
The three of us dropped into some tree chute;...
NOW Snowboard Bindings Leaps into bed with T. Rice
Rumor has it (oh, there we go again!) that while Travis Rice was up at Baldface prepping for the Supernatural event, he met with JF Pelchat.
Pelchat a drunken and crazed French-Candian who had a mullet the length of the TransCanada Highway once, has recently signed Travis Rice to a 50% ownership...
The Upside Of A Down Season
The snow base out West is so upside down. We are now riding on a rain crust layer here in Utah, there are dirt patches everywhere over ten thousand feet-and it's warm, damn warm-and then it gets icy, really icy. The only way to explain it to others not out here, is to say ''it's like a really...
Smog City, Utah
Grim. Grim is one word to describe the post apocalyptic conditions of the greater Salt Lake City area. A strong ridge of high pressure has set-up an invisibly strong barer to clear and clean weather. The smog-or as the weather people on the news refer to it as, ''haze'', has become that of thick...
So HOT, So FRESH: Milo's Crowbars.
Very few things separate us humans in life. Thanks to our DNA make-up, we all share physical characteristics like eyes, noses, teeth (unless you live in the South where mouth ivory is optional), etc. Yet as humans we strive to be different and stand apart from one another, whether it is by way of...
Solitude
I met up with Forrest in the bottom of BCC parking lot. We carpooled up to Soli, strapped-in and had a way fun mini-shred session of high speed lappers, butters and 180s. We still need 3-8 feet of snow to make it just right.
Our day was spent mocking runs and slashing turns... which almost got my...
Solitu... oh, we got kicked out of there. Here's to Brighton!
We pulled up to Solitude where they have been grooming the snow into velvet. It looked and felt great on the boot pack up; soft pack pow. As we were about a third of the way up from the base lodge (lower lot) a snow cat came barreling down towards us-''fellas, the resort is not open and there is...
