Grove Market & Deli: Tasty Two Pound Sandwich
Given the glut of superstores and convenience markets that litter the landscape these days, it is easy to forget that American towns were once built on the backs of family-run food markets. As family businesses have focused on adapting their enterprises to the needs of their clientele, some have managed to stay relevant and keep a solid customer base. One of these success stories is Grove Market & Deli. … read more

If you’ve been following Utah skateboarding for a while, you may or may not know Cristobal Napoleon Keller. Even though Keller has been around for a long time, he’s remained pretty underground. He’s been keeping it real for quite a while and doing some really stylish tricks along with some really amazing artwork. This guy always has a smile, enjoys life more than most and is really fun to nerd out with on ‘90s skate trivia. … read more
4FRNT’N
4FRNT began its stride towards greatness in 2002 as a small company operating out of Lake Tahoe, California. As the company gained traction in the ski world, it picked up and moved to Salt Lake City in autumn of 2005.

Fresh Changes at PCMR
For the 2010/2011 season, Park City is making some big changes to their new Three Kings park. This season, Park City has invested a lot of time, and probably money, to bring you a newly renovated park located where Pick ‘n’ Shovel park was last season. Three Kings will feature two more runs full of rails, boxes, logs, jumps and a few things you’ve only dreamed of. If that doesn’t get your gear all wet, here is a little bonus: Park City has added lights throughout the entire new park! … read more

Alaska With Mikey
I always wanted to go to Alaska. It seems to me that anyone who has snowboarded has dreamed of making it there and having the opportunity to push their snowboarding to the limit. In Alaska anything can happen––good or bad. The landscape alone speaks for itself. Sure the mountains in Utah might be just as tall, but you don’t see them protruding from the ocean like huge fangs. Everything in Alaska just seems bigger and better. … read more

Volcom ‘9191’ Review
9191 focuses on my two favorite things about snowboarding: shredding powder and riding with the homies. 9191 takes a new approach to making a snowboarding film. In lieu of a traditional team video, Volcom created a movie based on the travels of Gigi Ruf. … read more
An Evening in Canterbury
Held at the Murray Theatre, An Evening in Canterbury combined an authentic 14th century seven course meal with amateur theatre and abundant cosplay. We were in the minority, with most folks decked out in bright felt renditions of Middle English Garb. The alcohol-free event consisted of four of Chaucer’s tales narrated by actors milling through the audience, while up on stage the rest of the cast performed a rough pantomime of the events. … read more
The Arena Premiere @ U of U Fine Arts Hall...
It seems that the question for riders of our generation is: What to wear. Tight pants or baggy? Which school of thought do you associate with: tree-huggin’, g-thuggin’ or tight-pants, wide stance? How do you decide? The pros you look up to are a good indication of what size you buy your pants… … read more
