Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show 206 - Snowbasin

View fullsize

Running on full power with Todd to the Top, Gear Junkie James with wife Erica, and Host R. Brandon Long

Back to the river and the comfort of shade and beer on Slackwater's patio. Episode 206 features an awesome interview with Snowbasin Resort's power marketing duo Samantha and Tess. Summer is loaded with activities on the mountain including the uber-popular Blues Brews & BBQ FREE Concert Series. Definitely a great way to spend a lazy sunny Sunday afternoon.  

We run through upcoming EVENTS and NEWS items, as well as Gear Junkie's Psicobloc Climbing Comp experience in the rain. Oh, and the abandoned beer cart. James also covers a couple cool new gear items he discovered at Outdoor Retailer

Next week, we'll be at Indian Trailhead in Ogden Canyon, recording live after a good warmup hike! If you'd like to meet up with us and hike along, that would be rad! Check out Facebook for times.
