Hiking the Wasatch

Register here for year round hiking. We hike EVERY week of the year - at least 3 times a week! http://crazysheryl.com/year_round_hiking_payment.htm





Meet a lot of fun active outdoor enthusiasts! Generally, we hike or snowshoe (depending on the season) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning for approx. 3 hours. Join us for the full time or come for just a little while if you prefer. If you are new, ease into this sport so you'll stay with it a long time. If you push yourself too fast, too soon, you'll burn out and won't come often. You will love it if you take some time earning your "hiking legs." Adults of all ages and abilities are invited. If you have someone younger that you’d like to bring with you, just email me first and let me know what the circumstances are. Some trails/canyons allow dogs. Some don't. Check with me first before bringing a pet or a child. Cost: $35 for 15 snowshoeing/hiking outings of YOUR choice. When you pay, you’ll receive a Punchcard, good for 15 outings.

Slacklining



Slacklining - A great way to improve balance and coordination, no matter how old you are.
I was introduced to slacklining at the Summer Outdoor Retail Show in SLC. Since I hike a lot, I often see hikers on the mountain who don't seem to have much confidence with their balance and coordination. I want to help them along with people who just love having fun balancing on odd objects.

I have a slackline in my backyard and offer classes on it during the spring, summer and fall. The more you're on it, the better you become. In this photo, the girl isn't using poles to help balance. We use ski poles to help us balance. It's off the ground about 18 inches so if you do fall off, it's not far.

Slacklining with music is the best. We all take turns walking the line. You wouldn't think it's a great workout but it is! It's fun to participate OR just fun to watch others walk the slackline.

To be part of this group or if you want to purchase a slackline, contact me. I sell them for $80.

Flat Water Kayaking

Register NOW for our Flat Water Kayaking classes and outings at: http://crazysheryl.com/flat_water_kayaking_payment.htm
Once you've paid, you are among the first to be invited to our Kayaking Classes and Outings.

Flat Water Kayaking Classes and Outings are held on a regular basis from April through October.
We mostly kayak in Sit on Top "Ocean Brand" Flat Water Kayaks along with some other kayaks ranging in length from 6 - 13 feet. The Great Salt Lake, Jordan River, and Little Dell Reservoir are some of our favorite local spots. On our camping/hiking trips we'll kayak at Tony Grove, Bear Lake, Fish Lake, Mirror Lake, Lake Powell, etc. Kayak fee: $12/hour - includes kayak, paddle, and PFD (life jacket). If you haven't taken my Kayak Class, I'll quickly run you through some drills to make sure you know what you're doing. Small Group/Private Lessons are $20/hour on the lake. I need help loading and unloading the kayaks on and off of my car before and after kayaking. A regular 60 minute kayaking outing includes basic instruction, a chance to try out different types of kayaks, paddles, PFD, transporting the kayak to water and a photo shots. This is a super easy, quick, fun sport to get hooked on!

We meet at my home before kayaking. (Holladay Area- Approx. 5060 South 3000 E, SLC). Everyone helps with loading kayaks/gear. Learn valuable skills in securing kayaks onto a car. Same thing is expected before we leave the lake/river, everyone loads the kayaks and gear, comes back to my home and unloads all kayaks/gear until it's put away. Plan to carpool to the lake/river from my home. This is part of the kayaking experience and goes very quickly when everyone helps.

Cost $12/person for 1 hour on the water.
I provide a variety of flat and white water kayaks for you to try out. I also provide life jackets, paddles and kayaking instruction, as needed. You are required to sign a waiver before entering the water. If you are new and have not taken a Kayaking Class from me or been kayaking with me before, you will need to quickly pass off a few basic kayaking requirements in the water before taking off on your own.

Everyone will be learning and passing off these skills during this class:

Getting in and out of a kayak. Paddling: turning and going in reverse. What to do if you fall out of your kayak. Laying down in a kayak. Stopping your kayak. Eating lunch in your kayak.

Water safety rules you'll be required to know and apply. Why you need to wear a life jacket. How and wear to find a life jacket that fits you best. What to wear when kayaking. What to bring with you.
How to find a kayak that is best for you. Where to buy/rent a kayak on your own. What to look for in kayaking gear and what is essential. How to secure a kayak on your car. My favorite nearby kayaking destinations: lakes, rivers, reservoirs. Difference between Flat Water and White Water Kayaking. Different types of Flat Water Kayaks (short, long, 2 person, 1 person, wide, narrow, etc.) When you kayak w/ me you get to test out several different kinds.

Carrying a kayak to the water. Training on and off of the water. Exercises to do at home to strengthen your body. Dates and times we kayak during the spring/summer. What is expected of you when you kayak with me.

Cross Country Skiing



http://www.skisolitude.com/winter/nordic_center.php


Guide: Rob Harper

The main rule for cross-country skiing: Show up to have fun and don't worry about how good you are. If you are an expert, plan to go at your own pace. Rob will be happy to give informal lessons to people just starting out. Rob will stay with those who are new and make sure they get down the track alright.

Trampoline Aerobics



During the Spring, Summer and Fall I offer Trampoline Aerobics Classes on my four trampolines in my backyard. Join me for an easy or challenging one hour workout. These photos are just for fun. This is NOT what we do in class. Sorry, no flips or aerials, just a fun workout!

Long Board Paddling


http://www.kahunacreations.com/
This reminds me of kayaking on land. I never thought I would so hooked on long boarding at age 53 but I am - thanks so Kahuna Creations! By using the paddle, it creates an excellent stomach, upper body and leg workout.

Here in Salt Lake City, I enjoy this sport on the smooth boardwalk at Liberty Park, close to downtown SLC. It strengthens your core muscles and increases your balancing skills. I would love you to join us in this sport!

Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding




All abilities are invited. Ski or snowboard at Solitude Ski Resort with us. During the 2008/2009 ski season we skied every Wednesday, carpooled up the canyon at 9 am and had a blast until around noon or 1 pm - depending on the day. Stay longer if you like and ride the bus down.


Meeting place is generally 6200 So. Wasatch Blvd UTA Park n Ride (SOUTH end of the parking lot). Go at your own pace, pick the slopes you are comfortable with, ski or snowboard at whatever level you feel good at with. If you like, relax in the lodge around a warm fire and hot soup. Plan to ski with us EVERY ski season for incredible prices. To get the best prices of the season, buy your seasons pass in September for around $250/person. That allows us to ski every Wednesday throughout the season. Buying a pass during the preseason is by far the cheapest way to go!
