What to expect: The bike park lies hidden like a jewel in the rough. Tucked in the lap of North Table Mountain, I would have driven right by, if my parents hadn’t been directing me. This park is a “bike only skill park.” Features include downhill flow trail (I had a blast on this), multi-directional trails,…

What to expect: This is by and far our favorite bike park for the kids! And they are perfect for the little Strider enthusiasts. (And the adult enthusiast too!) Here is a link with some pictures of everything the adults (or crazy kids) can do. But here is why we like it for the young…

I haven’t totally mastered this YouTube thing. I spent most of the week attempting to upload the video so I could link it. But if this is posting…then I must have found success somehow! Last week we cashed in on our REI dividend and 20% off coupon and bought our daughter a pedal bike. (Novara…

To me, Winter Park/Mary Jane, CO will always be a mogul skier’s dream. But now that I have three tiny tots, two of which are skiing, I have realized it is a kids dream as well! I practically grew up on the tree trails, runs, and lifts of Winter Park. I remember skiing up to…

OK friends, here is a recipe from my good friend Jen Dekorte. It is versatile, easy, and super yummy! This is the original recipe. However, you can use any muffin mix you like, any nuts, any fruit! Jen recommended trying the Krusteaz Brand muffin mix called Cinnabon. She also said she has cut the brown…

Since we moved to Utah, just over a year ago, we have begun our Tour de ski resorts. I grew up in Colorado and have skied nearly every resort it has to offer, but I had never skied Utah until I moved here. Well, this last month and a half it was Brighton’s turn, cause…they…

We are a society of instant gratification. But so much in life becomes good when we are in it for the long haul. Like, for example, our puppy, Kai. Now we really haven’t been in “it” that long with him. He is roughly 8 months old… But I can tell you that those first 3…

Today we took time to interview our blogging buddies at Bring the Kids and asked them a few questions about their marriage. How long have you been married? We’ve been married for 6 years! Where/how did you meet? We were both skiing up at Snowbird, were in the singles line and hopped on the lift…

My marriage gets mixed up, turned around and in-side-out ALL the time. And I am guessing yours does to. The circumstances aren’t necessarily epic…but the heat is turned up all the same. Perhaps you disagree on which family to visit for Christmas. Perhaps you are trying to get out the door and one baby is…

The is the second week of our blogging double header with Bring The Kids! We are talking about how to thrive in our marriages. So keep coming back! Several years ago, my wife would frequently say that she felt as though she had no hobbies. She didn’t know who she was anymore. That she’d been…

Welcome to A “Made for Adventure: Marriage series. I just wanted to note a few things about my wife that I love. One for every year we’ve been married.

Thanks for joining us for part 1 in our series called A “Made for Adventure” Marriage. Many, many people reach the end of their parenting years and realize one morning, sitting at the table that they don’t know the person across from them anymore. There is no love or passion. That thought terrifies me. I…

Here at The Kid Project we love family! We love kids and the outdoors and all [well…most] of what goes along with it. So this next week we are starting a series on marriage. What does marriage have to do with the outdoors? Nothing and everything I suppose. But our marriages do have everything to do…

I grew up skiing Winter Park Resort every weekend and hearing everyone rave about the beginner terrain. Not being a beginner or an instructor, this meant nothing to me. And the whole beginner terrain thing meant “boring!” Until this season. Well, now we live in Utah, far from Winter Park land and so we began…

Sometimes it amazes me what I will do out of sentiment. It’s not that I don’t love freestyle skiing in itself — I do. However, much of what I love is the feelings, memories, emotions and experiences I had growing up and living in the “freestyle” world during my teen-years. So when the 2012 VISA…
