Ski Utah App Reincarnated

Our BFFs at Ski Utah hit us up to rehaul their mobile app and drop some sexiness on it. We started by adding more user interactivity and a fresh coat of hot design. One of the new highlights is a Stats page where peeps can set goals for the season, keep track of how many days they’ve bombed at which mountains and share their conquests online. The more you check in the more custom badges you earn and the higher your rank goes.

We also did up some Skiosks that will live in Hotel lobbies where guests can quickly check out weather reports, mountain cams, photos and videos from all the different Utah resorts.

Do yourself a favor and snag it from the app store and start crushing some pow. If you’re of the Droid persuasion we did a version for you too that should be live real quick like.

How The Klepto Stole Christmas.

Not to brag or anything, but we created the greatest Christmas cards of all-time. After making our list and checking it twice, we handed them off to our Producer extraordinaire Melissa “Beef Jerky” Crespo. On her way to the Post Office to drop some holiday cheer on our friends across the globe, Mel was beckoned by the siren song of a William-Sonoma sale at the mall, so she popped in to swoop up the wine aerator she’s had her lushy eyes on. Little did she know, while perusing the isles a crack head was pillaging her car in the parking lot. While we’re flattered that the dirtbag robber liked our cards so much that he took all 500 of them, we’re also super bummed the World will never get to see them in all of their glorious glory. Maybe we’ll roll them out next year.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo El Cucaracha.

Maine hates us.

According to Google analytics Maine has some sort of beef with us. Every other state and a gaggle of other countries have checked out our site, but when it comes to Maine, nada. Goose eggs. What did we ever do to you Maine? You think you’re better than us or something? We check out your stuff all the time. We eat syrup and read Steven King on the reg. Until Google tells us you’re giving us some love we’re boycotting lobster, logging and lighthouses. This is going to hurt us more than it hurts you but we’re going to prove our point dammit.

Synchronized Beards

The crew was at lunch the other day when we suddenly realized everyone had the exact same mini beards. (With the exception of the ladies and Tanner of course). It wasn’t part of an elaborately planned office-wide beard-growing contest centered around a certain month. It just happened.

We’ve heard how women who live together can have their lady cycles match up. Considering how much time we spend in the same room, we suspect something similar is going on with our man beards.

Somehow unbeknownst to us, our face follicles planned a ZZ Top party using a complex silent communication system similar to that used by bats or ants. Our laziness and general lack of concern for our personal appearance played perfectly into their plan and just like that, our beards cycles synced. Now there’s nothing wrong with everyone having a beard but when more than 12 guys have the exact same beard it gets kind of creepy. We all looked like a Phish tribute dance troupe. We decided to take turns shaving so this would never happen again. Take that beards. You’re not the boss of us.

*We don’t know where this image came from. Please don’t sue us. If this is your work and you want it removed, or credit given, ask and we will pull it down or drop your name. But for the record it kicks ass.

FORT STS

Been working with our friends at Lloyd Architects to design up our new joint. We told them we were going for the warehouse Shredder set up for his Foot Clan in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. They nailed it. We’re super stoked. Highlights: Glass garage door on the front, full skate ramp, lounge at the top of ramp with stairs going to roof top patio, ample ping pong table room, giant kitchen so Potter can cook up crepes for the troops, and last but not least, double bathrooms. Finally, the contractors are ready to start swinging hammers. We bribed them with copious amounts of Beef Jerky and Pabst Blue Ribbon to get it done ASAP. Pretty sure we’re breaking fire codes in the space we’re in now. Ever have to ride the hump in the backseat of a car? Yeah, it’s like that. 14 hours a day.
