The first Sunday in April is unofficially Retro Day at Snowbasin resort. Ogden Utah is rich in skier history so its no surprise that everyone breaks out some pretty rare stuff. A sampling below:

Spring Report 2003:  This week was so much fun I will probably always leave this on the site. 

California rock & rollers, 5 foot tuesday along with Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips checked into the Chalet in early April for a steady week of rehearsing before  going on summer tour.  Now they are called the Tim Bluhm Involvemnet or Pinata?

All week everyone enjoyed skiing and snowboarding in sunny, warm, spring conditions. At the end of the week (closing weekend for the resorts) Atomic Chalet threw another margarita party for all our local friends. 5foot opened up the party After that, Tim with his mini Wurlitzer piano, joined 5foot for about a two hour set of the music they had been practicing all week. Most excellent show!

Last but not least, Frame of Mind (who are no strangers to the chalet and locals here) set up around midnight for the third set and tore the house down again with their high energy, jam style, rock and roll.

Bruce, OB, Neami and Josh, who form the "FOM" stayed at the Chalet frequently, especially when they were starting out  years ago touring the Rockies and home was far away in San Clemente Ca. The guys have now gone full circle and now enjoy livingagain in San Clemente California. It has been fun and entertaining watching this band evolve at the beach and then become Idaho's #1 Jam band! and now are playing gigs everynight of the week in Southern Orange County California while surfing and playing volleyball. Check their FOM website to see when and where they are jamming.
