Zipfy Riding
Zipfy Riding - Join us this winter! You will love it!
Inspired by the Olympic sport of the luge and coal shovel racing, the lightweight Zipfy (~ 3½ lbs.) is compact and fast. Made of high-density polyethylene plastic, it is engineered for performance, safety and maneuverability on every type of snow. It features a feet-first design so that riders can control their speed and stop by digging their heels into the snow. With a low center of gravity and the rail design on the underbelly of the sled, riders can carve down the slopes, simply by leaning into the turn. It makes for a great family sport and comes in a variety of vibrant colors.
The Ride Just sit down, hold the handle between your legs, lift your feet and hold on - your legs are supported by the hood of the sled. Zipfy is also very light, so riders will not get tired from hauling their sleds back up the hill.
History & Today Zipfy [pronounced zip’fee] originated in a small town in the Bavarian Alps where it was designed as an improvement to sliding down the hill on coal shovels in the 1960’s. Over the last few years it has become a hip and trendy sport in the German, Austrian and Italian Alps, with competitive races for riders of all ages. Zipfy hit North American slopes for the first time in the Fall of 2007.

Camping in Utah
There are 2 types of camping - car camping and backpacking. When you first start out you want to make sure you have a great experience or you'll never get to the point of backpacking. Car camping means you can pack your car with what you'll need, then when you arrive, you can walk 10 steps and there's where your new home is for the next few days. It's simple and comfortable IF you know what you're doing. Backpacking, on the other hand, is like carrying your home on your back. You need to pack light, take ONLY what is essential and know what you are doing or go with someone who does.
My goal is to camp in every State and National Park in Utah that allows camping. There are 5 National Parks in Utah. To get an idea of just how many State Parks there are in Utah, visit http://stateparks.utah.gov/. I've camped in many of these already. Each one is unique and has an amazing beauty all of its own. Join us! We'll teach you how to camp if you've never been camping before.
