My family.

Wait wait wait…don’t delete it. I was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Adams Kodjo and I was hoping he would find a way to get in touch with me!

If the strategy hasn’t changed to going after portal guys, it should. Portal is all that matters any more. HS recruiting is irrelevant.

Ironically, I ski far more pow at DV than I ever did at Solitude. Too much competition among good all-mountain skiers at Solitude (and many more Ikon wankers who think they can ski too). While all the middle-aged moms and stock brokers enjoy the groomers at DV, guess what I get to do?

I’m not blaming capitalism – I’m praising it. Just pointing out that the best thing capitalism gives to both businesses and consumers is choice. When you compare the pros of skiing the Cottonwoods (terrain, snow) to the cons (traffic, parking, liftlines), we each get to decide whether the pros or cons win out. In my case, the cons won and I made a…[Read more]

Overcrowding and traffic at the LCC/BCC resorts are merely a symptom. The actual problem is that none of those resorts are willing to put a cap on skiers and riders. That’s why you get the red snake running up and down the canyons, and then 45 minute lift lines once you actually arrive.

I mean, I get it. That’s capitalism. When people decide that…[Read more]

I like and will watch any and every sport except baseball and golf.

We should never be concerned about recruiting. The portal has made high school recruiting almost irrelevant.

When it’s all packaged together, yes, it is part of the product.

I disagree that college basketball is a worse product than college football. I can barely stand football anymore – there’s a 5-minute TV time out after almost every play. There’s like 12 minutes of actual action in a four hour game. The rest is replays, inane commentary, and ads. But I digress…

Even though my personal preference is basketball,…[Read more]

I’ve heard that phrase, but just because it is a semi-popular phrase does not make it correct. Games belong to the players.

It should be selected per a player vote. Sports belongs to the players, not the fans. We are along for the ride. And if you could ask a player and get an honest answer, you would learn that butt rock is not what they want to hear.

This topic is a pet peeve of mine. The only correct answer is: Play whatever music the majority of the team likes. So likely some modern hip hop…Migos, Drake, 21 Savage, etc.

Our fans are predominantly older white males, therefore you want music that appeals to older white males. I’m sorry but our players do not like butt rock. Play your ACDC,…[Read more]

1. Transfers (in and out) change the number of available slots.
2. Class sizes are not equal.

That’s basically it, yeah. Having a racing background helped me get the job (understanding where to push the snow so it’s not near the race line and doesn’t create a safety hazard is important), but that’s about it.

You really just have to have the skill set to snowplow and sideslip down pretty steep, water-injected pitches, and the quad strength…[Read more]

Worst part of the game day experience: Half the people not showing up until after the 1st quarter.
How to fix it: Hell if I know.

Actually, I had an idea once. It would not be legal in any way, but a guy can dream, right? The idea: At the end of the 1st quarter, assigned seating goes away. Anyone who wants to sit in your seats can have them. If…[Read more]

I volunteered as a course slipper at Snowbasin in 2002 and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I’ll definitely be volunteering again.

NFL: Chargers (born in SD) but I stopped liking them when they sold out to LA
MLB: Padres (see above)
NBA: Kings (moved to NorCal in jr. high)
NCAA: Utah (parents are alums)
Soccer: EPL Wolves (best friend is from Wolverhampton), MLS RSL (obviously), International USA and Argentina (mission country)

Yep. If stars didn’t matter, Nick Saban would just pull random kids from the student body and win with them instead of spending millions and traveling 200 days a year going after 5 star recruits.

In Utah’s case, I’m reminded of an old saying: “Players win games, coaches lose games, referees ruin games.” I think that’s what Whit has done…[Read more]
