Mountain recreation is our thing – has been for the last 30 years. Whether we are fishing a blue ribbon trout stream, hiking in the remote wilderness of the Uinta mountains, or riding some of the 400 miles of IMBA Gold-rated single track in Park City, we love to be […]

There is a buzz in the air right now. You can hear snow guns in the background blasting out a base, even if it is “just” man-made. The resort centers are filling up with managers, instructors, and other employees. Boxes of new product are being dropped off, display racks oriented, […]
As an experienced mountain biking and climbing guide for White Pine Touring, which is Jans’ guide service, Weston Deutschlander has a backstory that is pretty typical of most Jans’ employees – which is not to say that it’s uninteresting or uninspiring. The Road to Park City Two days after Weston […]
Here at JANS we like to keep ourselves busy outdoors. Whether we are spending time fly fishing on blue ribbon trout streams like the Middle Provo River, mountain biking IMBA Epic trails like the Mid-Mountain trail or hiking and climbing in the Uinta mountains, we always enjoy being outside in […]

I will be honest; ski conditions in Park City have been pretty light. The Wasatch Mountains have not been graced with the bottomless sugar as early as in past seasons. Temperatures have been cold enough, but we just haven’t seen the necessary precipitation. My three hometown ski resorts, Park City […]
Where should you rent skis in Park City, Utah? Well Jans of course! And here’s why… Quality Rental Skis The rental skis at most ski shops are bought specifically as rental fleets, and designed to be either overly durable (read: clunky) to withstand years of abuse, or overly flimsy with […]
First chair has never been that important to me. The coveted throne sought out by many was just never worth waking up that early. However, I do look forward to opening day, at just about any ski resort. Everybody is out and having fun with plenty of smiles all around. […]
Every fall the Jans sales force and Jans.com content team assemble dutifully for a couple of weeks of learning.
