Snow Biking and Tubing

I love working on stories for our Outdoors section, it gives me a chance to get a great hike in or try out an not-so-ordinary sport. The winter months make things more interesting, some of the stories we tackled last winter included skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, and hiking Alta near Salt Lake City. In an attempt to mix it up this winter, we started off with two interesting snow sports available in our area (Brian Head Resort), snow biking and tubing. So we grabbed our bikes and hit the pavement, er....slopes!

Here's our outdoors reporter Ryan Dionne taking on a diamond run:

Time to put the bikes away and grab a tube, here's the starting gate:

Here's a snowboarder getting ready to head down the mountain, I really liked the light and color in this shot:
