On Top Of Pine Cone Ridge, Park City Mountain Resort
08 Feb 2010, written by moto 3 CommentsUsing a little trickery with an iPhone app called TiltShift Generator, this is what the view looked like, gazing back towards Scott’s Bowl. I was standing right under the Full Moon Bowl trail sign, waiting for a couple guys who were on snowboards. They had to hike this little section, giving me the moment to pull the iPhone out and snap a few photos. It was a great day to be out there hiking the ridge, although also a little spooky considering what the Utah Avalanche Center continues to call a persistent weak snowpack. Spooky because everything looks so beautiful out there, but there is real danger about 4 to 5 feet down. People, be careful out there.

09 Sep 2009, written by moto 3 CommentsIt’s always a sad day when you decide to put a moto up on the chopping block. Alas, Bartman is not getting down to the Miller Motorsports Speedway as often as he would like, and is looking to part with his 2004 Ducati 999. 3001 miles, mostly on the track (I think). See the list below and photos, and serious inquiries posted in comments will be forwarded on to Bartman. The bike is located in Park City, Utah:

Darth Nater and BMW F800 GS
Today was the first day of spring in Park City. Lot’s of folks out today on motorbikes and bicycles. Lots of people skiing still. The parking lots at Deer Valley were packed as far as the eye could see, but the slopes were uncrowded. Must have been a lot of people sunning on the decks of the lodges, or hanging out at “The Beach.” I had grand plans to strap my skis to the back of the moto and ride in to work, but my tiedown straps were not being cooperative in the morning, so I scrapped the plan and threw the skis in the car. Big mistake. Darth Nater seems to have made the mental switch from ski to moto, and rode his F800 GS to one of our Chaos Planning Session lunch meetings. Some of the best moto trips have been planned at these randomly occuring business lunches. This one was at the Backdoor Deli, Park City. If you are ever there, try the number #17.
