Living in Salt Lake City means we sit pretty at an elevation of roughly 4,300 feet (and even higher if you're up on the East Bench).

Whether you live in a classic Sugar House bungalow or a newer build down in Draper, if your home has a basement, it likely features a few deep window wells. Right now, our massive Wasatch snowpack is finally finishing its main melt, and June’s famous sudden thunder-monsoons are rolling into the valley. If your window wells are currently acting as an organic soup of last autumn's leaves, stray wrappers, and winter gravel, you have a recipe for an accidental basement aquarium.

Standard window glass acts like a magnifier for high-altitude UV rays. When that intense afternoon sun hits your south- and west-facing windows, it creates a greenhouse effect.

The slow shift from powder days to trail days.
