Congrat's to Anna and her Spartan Clan, latest summer guests of Powder Condo

Tons of Amazing Snow this season in Eden - My dear friend Andre taking a quick break before hammering through the Powder 

Congratulations to one of our super start guests,  Jodie Bolt (Love that last name!!).  Jodie rocked her time trial cycling at Antelope island.  She rode 25 km; no drafting in an individual race against the clock.  She came in 6th of 18 in her age group.  Way to go Jodie !!

Sunsets at Snowbasin are Magical 

Gotta love the Fluffy Powder at Pow Mow !!

Mikah is a rock star !!

Gorgeous Views of Baldy at Powder Mountain

One of the hidden gems minutes from Powder Condo is the North Fork Skate Ski Park.  It's groomed by state of the art technology and besides Powder Mtn is the best kept secret in Utah.

Golf Season now Open at Powder Condo

Total Yards:

6845 yards

A challenging 18 holes in a spectacular mountain setting that plays like two different courses. The front nine openly roams out to a point overlooking Pineview Reservoir and the Ogden Valley with water coming into play on four of its holes. The back nine requires more thoughtful shot placement and meanders through groves of oak.

Powder Condo now offers a Vitamix Blender

The key to healthy eating is consuming a diet rich in whole foods like fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains. Some people find it difficult to consistently incorporate fresh whole foods into their diet because they find raw vegetables and fruits unappealing and the prospect of cooking is either too time consuming or too challenging of a task to take on. I do think that it is worth the effort to cook your own meals from scratch instead of relying on packaged convenience foods and I do think that making a habit of cooking regularly will allow you to become more confident in your own abilities. But I will also say having a Vitamix around does certainly make it easier to eat lots of whole-foodsand definitely cuts the preparation time down to a bare minimum for many tasks.

Here are some of the things I have made in our Vitamix Blender:

• Smoothies: Fruit smoothies and green smoothies.
• Juice: Whole-food juice with the fiber-rich pulp included is much healthier for you.
• Soup: Hot soup from raw ingredients in a just a few minutes. Great for when I am short on time.
• Dressings, sauces and marinades: Cheaper, tastier, and no preservatives.
• Dips and Hummus: Convenient for parties or just everyday snacking.
• Nut Butters: I save a lot of money by making our own almond butter and cashew butter.
• Baby Food Purees: Babies deserve fresh vegetables and fruits… not that gross stuff that comes in the jars.
• Ice Cream and fresh fruit sorbet: Rich, thick, creamy, satisfying. Yum.
• Fresh-Ground Whole-Grain Flours: We save a lot of money by grinding our own versus buying specialty grain flours from the supermarket.
