2010/2011 T-Shirt Design Revealed

The UFS graphic design crew has managed to do it again. We managed to make a rad new shirt with an almost unreadable title that will lead to hundreds of questions from random strangers staring at your chest. Freaks. My eyes are up here.

The good news is we decided to make the girly cursive F on the back of the shirt pink on some of the designs so people wouldn’t get confused and think it stood for ‘Female’.

    This Saturday, April 17 will be the last Zoom @ Noon for the 09-10 ski season. If you haven’t made it out yet, come take some runs with UFS. We will be meeting between the Gadzoom and MidGad chairlifts at Noon. If you aren’t sure who we are, just look for the big group of skiers.

    ALSO, we will be celebrating this incredible spring ski season with a UFS Spring BBQ. Burgers and dogs cooked to perfection! Find the UFS tent on the Snowbird-Alta bypass road after 3:30pm. Come enjoy some Apres Ski dining. All UFS members welcome!!

  • Red Bull 1976 Games Qualifiers

    The Red Bull 1976 Games qualifiers are THIS SATURDAY, April 3rd, at The Canyons Resort in Park City.

    Check it out:
    Teams sporting vintage gear will compete in two events, “Snowbladecross” and “Old School Air.” Teams will be judged the Red Bull way: event performance, creativity, and overall 70’s style. Prizes will also be awarded for best costume and team mojo. So grow (or stick on) those mustaches, squeeze into your one-piece and get ready to party like it’s 1976.
    **Teams of college students will receive FREE day passes to the Canyons to be able to participate. Otherwise, the only cost to participate is a lift ticket at the Canyons**

    What inspired this wackiness? More than 30 years ago, Denver was awarded the 1976 Winter Olympics. Then, a coalition of activists and politicians campaigned against it and the games moved to Innsbruck, Austria, instead. Well, it’s time the year 1976 had its day state-side!
    For a registration form or for any questions or concerns, email or call Jordan Omohundro at:
    Schedule of events:
    8:00am – 9:00am: Registration at Smokie’s
