Tom S. shredding the gnar at Alta Ski Area, an old-school skiers-only place (no snowboarders) in Little Cottonwood Canyon, about 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah. Tom reps the CFSBK sticker on the bottom of his skis, and says that sticker is all over this resort, even on his kid’s helmet!
Tom has been skiing 35+ years (!). In his words: “My parents took my sister and me on a trip to Stowe, Vermont in the late 70’s, and I was hooked. In the last decade or so, I have really applied myself, and taken advantage of the terrain, especially in places like Utah, and Wyoming—both beautiful and gnarly! I love the fresh air, the challenges on the hill, making friends (skiers are that way, especially apres) and getting my sons hooked has only deepened my love for the sport. And CrossFit helps!”
