In the midst of the heatwave that has enveloped much of the nation, DPS has launched its Dreamtime event, offering one-of-a-kind skis that are sure to elicit daydreams of cool and crisp winter days. For this year's theme, DPS has taken inspiration from various continents around the globe: From the vibrant sunrises of South America, moodier tones of Northern Europe, and the snow-filled landscapes of Asia, this year's batch of skis are something to behold. While our daydreams of winter never end, the Dreamtime sale is scheduled to end on August 9th.

Short for Drake PowderworkS, DPS is an innovator in ski design with an extremely loyal following. Involved in the creation of rockered skis, carbon fiber sandwich construction, spoon shaping, and other boundary-pushing developments, the company continues to make a name for itself (and its touring sk...

“Here, far from the hubbub of the upper Cottonwoods, the hills are still allowed to be, untrammeled and untracked. The snow falls and melts on its own. There are no moguls and no buried tracks. There is no human pressure to be skiable. The mountains are allowed to be outside of us. We came to them.”

Do you ever feel like the central Wasatch is too crowded these days? Of course you do. We all do. But the good news is that there are still a handful of drainages that, comparatively speaking, don’t often get skiers. You just have to work for it.

Spencer Dillon wrote a trip report about seeking those untracked areas, what it takes to get there, and most importantly, why go through all that effort when Mill D is so much closer and easier.

I have an upper limit on how many times I will ski the staples of the Central Wasatch every year. I’ve grown tired of that moment when, looking back towards the two main roads in the Wasatch, I think, ‘Here we go again, I guess.' It feels stale, the gilded cage. Zero approach skiing in the deepe...

Headed up to the PNW for Volcano Season?

As a backcountry ski shop, we often get customers asking us what gear they’ll need for their trip - whether it’s their first time or they’re looking to up their game. So with our collective experience, we put our heads together to make a gear list and staff recommendations specific to this sacred time of the year.

It’s an ambiguous, yet well understood, term for a pilgrimage that many North American backcountry skiers take part in every late spring as they flock to the Pacific Northwest’s prominent peaks. Those two words alone elicit thoughts of crampon spikes crunching on refrozen snow, navigating around...

It ain’t over till it’s over but it sure has been a weird season here in the Wasatch. From copious snowfall to weeks of nada. Then near record-breaking blistering heat followed by a wet snowstorm. And persistent weak layers in March?! In an attempt to make sense of it, we checked in with Jim Steenburgh - local meteorologist, author of Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth, and blogger at Wasatch Weather Weenies.

Headed out on an expedition this spring and wondering what to bring for a ski repair kit? Here’s our take on the matter.

What else would you add to the packing list or leave at home?

On the first day of your expedition, you wake to a perfect bluebird day. Looking out the tent, you watch the morning sun light up craggy peaks all around you with a warm glow. The snow is soft and untracked as far as you can see. Eager to go make turns, you quickly get dressed and put your boots on....

Ogden Skyline Traverse!

It’s been a weird winter here in the Wasatch thanks to an unusually prolonged mid season dry spell. But with high pressure comes stability and with stability comes the chance for creative ski days. Ogden skier Jules Goguely and his partners made the most of this opportunity. Featuring cruddy snow and lots of question marks, the team decided to link up a route that traversed the skyline of their backyard.
