It's time for another season of "The Greatest Snow on Earth!" Many die-hard, super-excited skiers and snowboarders headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon for opening day at Snowbird. My dear friend Photo-John was one of them. Check out his picture montage.

It doesn't seem to matter what you do to keep in shape all summer, there is this unique combination of muscles used to slide down a mountain slope that just doesn't get used unless you're doing just that.
Photo-John was smart enough to drive directly from the slopes, to my office for what some call "The Greatest Massage in Salt Lake." Boy is that a great way to end a sweet snow day! Not only does is feel wonderful, but a massage is great prevention for the extreme soreness you're sure to wake up with the day after skiing or riding for the first time in months. It won't take away from that sacred experience of feeling each muscle you worked so hard the day before and remembering how great those first few turns were, but it will help your body recover more quickly and with more ease.
Try it! And who better to work out those kinks than someone who's out there riding the slopes too and feels what you're feeling right along with you?
