Seventy and still gliding. I do easy cross country loops at Sundance and Nordic Valley a few mornings a week, then hot cocoa. Gentle pace, good conversation, all welcome.

Southern Utah local. I switch between skis and a board depending on my mood, usually at Brian Head. Love gladed trees and sunny spring afternoons. Always down to carpool from St. George.

Grew up riding Niseko powder and chasing that feeling at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin. I'll drop everything for a storm day. Looking for buddies who love deep snow and side hits.

Dad of two who finally has time to ski again. Fast, smooth groomers at Deer Valley and Park City are my happy place. Up for carving laps and a long lunch.

Recently retired teacher splitting my time between classic cross country at Nordic Valley and relaxed blue cruisers at Sundance. Lunch in the lodge is non-negotiable.

Splitboard-curious skier who tours out of Alta and Solitude on storm days. Avalanche-trained with my own beacon, probe and shovel. Looking for a reliable touring partner who checks the forecast before coffee.

Grad student who just moved to Salt Lake and bought my first board. Cruising greens and easy blues at Brighton and Solitude. Would love a fellow beginner (or a kind teacher) to ride with.

Twenty years on skis and Snowbird is my home hill. Steeps, chutes and moguls all day. Happy to show newer experts the Cirque and Mineral Basin, but I keep a quick pace.

Snowboarder in my third season, mostly lapping the park at Park City and Brighton after night shifts. Still learning to stomp the medium jumps, so a patient buddy to film each other would be perfect.

Remote designer who sneaks up Little Cottonwood on weekday mornings. I love tree runs at Snowbird and Alta and I'm working my way into the blacks. Looking for someone who doesn't mind first chair.

Bio

A friend once described me as a “casual skier,” and I think that sums me up pretty well. I'm an advanced skier, but I love taking it easy, cruising fast groomers, and enjoying good company on the chairlift. I'll be spending most of this season at Deer Valley. Off the mountain, I'm a serial entrepreneur, real estate investor, and dad to a 3-year-old who's getting on skis for the first time this year! Looking to meet like-minded people who enjoy good skiing, good conversations, and don't take themselves too seriously.
