I recently got my newest Icebreaker piece, the Oasis 200 Crew CAMO!! I wore it mountain biking last weekend in Salt Lake City with impressive results–multiple near-misses with other bikers and animals due to my improved invisibility. Aside from helping me almost suffer multiple head on collisions, I also found it had: A nice non-restrictive fit and a nice temperature range for the hot, uphill and cool, fast downhill. MTF, Alby
P.S. If you ever ride in SLC you should try Jacob’s Ladder in Corner Canyon. Solid.

I’m pretty sure that I was the only person on the strip wearing an Icebreaker technical piece similar to this during my last trip to Las Vegas. I must say that though I looked so good I could walk past any red velvet rope in town, I didn’t feel that I blended well with the majority of Vegas fashion–shiny shirts and “Tapout” T-shirts (See photo)
Luckily, I had dinner with some customers of mine from the mountains who were very impressed with my attire and the fact that wool can be so soft. They said that my Icebreaker fleece looked so good that it was later used by the hand model in Snowbird’s most recent photo of the day.

Though I was able to get a good mountain bike ride in this weekend it appears that skiing could be next on my list. Already people are skiing at Alta and Brighton and it looks like we are due for another 5+ tonight. I better get my quiver in order but what to get for the backcountry. Well, I’m off to Vegas….

Why do we ride? Cause there is a beer at the end? You can always tell someone who had a great mountain bike ride by white feet and ankles and dirt covered legs. Here is an example of a ride well done.
Have a great one.

So fun was had by all at the lake this year and the addition of the Brown family was super-sweet. I’ll do a proper blog but here a sunset worth bloging about. Have a good one everyone. ALBY

Love my new fishing bag! I was given a Fish Pond Cimarron bag for my fly fishing gear by my brother and sister. This bag really lets me stay organized and prepared whenever I get the sense there is a 6″ trout that needs to be put back in line. Never again will I be looking for that one small items as it’s all in this bag now. It has an area underneath for wet stuff and the fold out mat is perfect for changing. Here are some photos of the bag in the Provo river parking lot right before a nice caddis hatch.

This bag holds my rod, gear, waders n' boots and COORS!!

I was given a Chuck Norris t-shirt from Dan “Danimal” Landis and his wonderful wife Dorota which I decided to wear the entire weekend. I’m pretty sure Chuck helped me dominate this weekend. We banged out Bald Mountain pass on Saturday and crushed Big Cottonwood canyon to Guardsman’s pass yesterday.
We then took the show on the road to do some fly fishing. Unfortunately Chuck doesn’t like to fish what he prefers to do is conjure lightning an sheeting rain so never take Chuck to fish, unless it’s for a Great White Shark.

As you can see my friend Brendan Rodman is holding the first fish of his 30th birthday. I probably caught this fish about 4 years back when it was 4-5” long. This was caught in Dinosaur National Park where it flows into the Green River—which was chocolate at the time. Happy birthday Brendan and nice job on the fish. MTF, Alby

It’s official! The first game of Jarts has been thrown and no one went to the hospital. For those of you who are not savvy in the world of yard games, the pointed lawn dart or “Jart” was banned for sale in the U.S. on December 19, 1988 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission—even though the box they came in said fun for the whole family. Not only did I win my first match but I also found that my Chaco, Flip sandal worked perfectly with the new throw I’ve been working on to destroy Ned this summer in Michigan. http://www.tetonvillagesports.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TVS&Product_Code=Flip&Category_Code=
Have a great week.

Our friend Brownie was on a roll last night. He may have covered every subject know to man including what Nixon and Elvis talked about in their closed door meeting. Kudos Jeff, keep up the good work.
