Andy stoked to have completed "The Plank". The Plank measures 20' long with an 18' drop off the end. Just one of the many new features you'll see in the Respect terrain park.

John Hall in the middle of the road gap construction. This gap measures 45' and will have a log pole jam option next to the take off.

When we left the park on Tuesday we didn't expect to come back to a foot of snow in the park. Its a good thing we finished painting all of the features. We should have brought our boards to do some testing.

Hey guys,Sunday night the whole crew assembled for our annual feature planning meeting and the ideas flowed out just as fast as the beverages were gong in. Just let me say, what we came up with is sick. The steel line up has a couple of new solid additions. Our box line up will be even funner. (and yes funner IS a word) I'm so stoked for this up coming season. The Canyons is going to be mega

Got on the hill with Steve Duke and Zach yesterday...Oh my, you guys and girls have no idea what you're getting yourselves into. Road gap off Sun Peak? Two 70ft long tree jibs? If our park doesn't TRIPLE in size this season it'll at least DOUBLE! Check out some pics of the proposed road gap and the new trail we're adding in the park!

The Canyons annual slope style event was off the hook. The talent killed it, the course was amazeing and the crowd loved every minute of it. We saw plently of 7's, 9's and every combo of jib trick in the book go down throughout the comp. McRae had the smoothest runs of the day. The Peter bros battled it out one right after the other all day. Flaska had large tricks pop out of his bag. Andy

Even though I'm always in painted horse on the weekend I gave my radio and my rake to this 6 year old and told him to call at the first sign of trouble. Why you ask??? So I could sneak over to check out the Celtek slug magazine beat the pro comp that was going down in upper respect! Grabbed me a red bull, snapped a couple pics, got yelled at by Duke (not really he loves when I snap pics and

So I took a few days off and next thing I hear is man they changed the C and they added this and that askfdakjsd. I can't keep up. Here's what painted horse was like last Saturday. I'll give you another update after tomorrow or when I'm working on Friday.

Sorry y'all been a busy week, had some more contests go down, epic pow, busy weekend (man my back is killing me). Ok ok who wants to see some pics of the BIG park. It's funny I refer to painted horse as our little park, kids are getting wicked in there. But when we talk about upper and lower respect, well put it this way. It's where all our local pros ride. So here's a couple pics I snapped

Sun was out for a bit this morning and I ran into my friends E-long and Parker as we were finishing up our morning raking, making the park all perfect and what not. "Hey you fella's wanna take some pics for the blog?" I said. "Dude I'll blast off that hip if you want, just see what happens" said Parker. I knew the rails and boxes were about to get some serious slide-age. I also expected Parker to

Now that Upper and Lower Respect are just about to where we want them.(minus a few more little surprises) It was time to head back to Painted Horse, our progression park located off the saddle back express lift.With our cat supervisor Andy at home on anti biotics it was up to Jonny, Mary-ellen and Zack to revamp the top of painted horse. Zack and M.E. came up with the idea of connecting the

Sunday Sunday Sunday! The weather held off till the afternoon and with the hard work of Zach, Mary-ellen and Jonny last night the top half of painted horse was completely re-done. The left side is now a Beginner style box line. The right side is also a box line but more progressive than the traditional style boxes. New features mean more raking at least for the first couple days. We stayed on top

We rolled into the park 8am powder shovels in hand. By 930 we were still shoveling out jumps boxes and rails. That sexy lady mother nature had dumped 8 inches of fluffy Utah powder. Not that this is anything new. When we need snow I say we just schedule a competition. By ten o clock I didn't know if I was at The Canyons or Alta. 30+ skiers, maybe more were tearing painted horse apart. I love when

My names Tim and I'm the captain of team blowing it. As far as writing blogs at least. So let's take a second to address a few things right quick. 1. Respect- open and really fun but still not finished to our standards. Expect a triple kink that should be in by this afternoon, next to the S-Box. The wall ride will be on top of the hip in the upper section. We still need to put in the new gong.

Here's some pics from yesterday that I took with my good buddies Parker and Eric. These guys are two of my favorite kids to shred with! Always super positive and giving out tons of high fives, they ride canyons at least 5 days a week so next time you see them give them a shout.Parker front board on the big down flat down.Parker "naughty dog" out of the up box, stomps it every time...Eric Big Gap

We held a random jam to celebrate World snowboard day. A random jam is a super fun mini session where we hook riders up with free product for throwing down sweet tricks. We figured there is no a better way to celebrate snowboarding than hooking dudes for learning new tricks. We started the session off with some basic tricks and it progressed from there. For this being our first random jam of the

All we were waiting for was a go from the big dogs. Thursday night we got that call and Steve and I headed up to meet Jonny and Andy and give you a full park on the painted horse run. Steve and I had it easy we were out at 2am. Our cat drivers got off the hill at 5am. Big props to the rest of the crew who came in and leveled everything early Friday morning.Without us knowing, Friday night Andy

Alright y'all. Here's the latest update on our park situation. Snow is lacking but we're doing our best to keep it fresh. Although the base isn't half of what we'd like we're still going to try and get even more features up for you weekend warriors. Soon as we get some more lifts open the snow making is back in the park and we'll have some jumps built. As for now check the pics if you wanna scope

We're up and rolling! 4 features can be found at the bottom of what will become our progression park. A flat box into a C box followed by a LEGIT city style down rail and one of our signature picnic tables can all be found at the canyons as we speak. Check the pics! Space is limited so bare with us until mother nature decides to cooperate. Soon as we can get some more runs open more features
