ive returned home from hawaii and since this is a ski/snowboard site I think the one thing from hawaii that is applicable is that you can ski on their volcanoes. Seriously. There was a sign at the observatory on Mauna Loa (which is a 13,000 foot hill) that said “Please use caution when skiing or snowboarding.” It didn’t say don’t do it, just be careful. I wonder how many people drive up to the top on a powder day in Hawaii…

Also we are considering offering the full line of some of our ski companies like Fischer Skis, Head Skis, and Dynastar Skis, and for products that we don’t actually have in stock the shipping time would be about a week longer. email info@levelninesports.com if you would be interested or have some comment.

that last part was a clever way to get some search engine optimization into this post, but it still is true.

I don’t mean hail and I don’t mean little specs that melt before arrival. I mean it’s snowing right now at my house in Park City Utah.

If this was a fluke storm then I would just say”huh” and move on, but it has snowed every week this year. I thought last weeks little storm was a fluke, but I am no longer prepared to call this June 11th storm the last fluke snowstorm of the season.

Who cares? I do. Why? Because…

You all break out your gear in November when there is 4 inches of man made snow and it’s really cold. Right now Snowbird is open with 3,000 vertical feet of skiing and about 140inches at the summit? Also, every other ski area in Utah closed in Mid April, almost all with top to bottom quality coverage. Plus the weather is perfect (well not today) Sunny and 50+ degrees. Slush is 2nd only to powder if you have the right skis.

But you all have to get on the hill in November and burn out by late March when the skiing is at its best.

So stop it. Shop early, Ski late.

The good thing is I have been too busy to take off the snow tires on the Level Nine truck. Snowplows in June…

It’s Snowing.. hard.
