$25 Hair Cut

Move over Fabulous Phil, there's competition in the SLC these days.  Patrick at High Life on Broadway (300 South) and 245 East is giving $25 hair cuts (he's regularly $50) through the end of March and 20% off on color.  He does great work, he's terribly friendly, and he's just great.  Go check it out if you're in need of a cut.

Rozi


Congrats to Ms. Rozi Plain for making it to the US and especially SXSW!!!
If you live or will be visiting any of the cities that are on her current American touring you should definitely make her as a priority to check out.  
Lovely music and equally lovely person.

Henna

Amanda finally came back!  and she brought henna - here is the collaboration that took place on my hand.  Turns out it lasts at least 10 days, sweet.

Now we're bed bugs - watching American Teen - very interesante.  I love it when the husbands are out of town!!!  But then again that makes me a pathetic

These are a few of my favorite things

This is the pic of the day at Alta from Tuesday when Chels and I ripped it up, well kind of.  I ate is literally half a dozen times, but for the most part it didn't matter because we were skiing in 2 1/2 feet of snowy bliss.  



Due to some rad friends I have been able to climb down at the front a bunch the last few months.  Huge perk is little bro Zach is climbing too.




Millcreek is wicked awesome right now.  It's sunny and there is still tons of snow up there.  When I don't have friends to back country with I take the old Sports Den rental cross-country skis, load the dogs in the truck and away we go to dog heaven/winter wonderland.  Max is hanging in there - still makes it to the end of the road, there's just a little waiting to be done for him on the way down - but not bad for 15!


Lastly, yet still on the list, is work.  Right now we're getting to the fun part on a cabin I have been designing along with Silverado Construction and our awesome clients who have really gone for it on this little beauty.  Right now the flooring and the wood paneling are going up and it's so nice to finally see the results of all of those decisions.


They're hard core and working through the winter.  You're choices to get to the job site are ride on the sled behind a snow mobile, take the snow cat, or hike it.



Ya, I go to work in a hoodie, hiking boots, and a back pack and it's lovely.
Living in SLC is going pretty well.
