Anstead Painting - Snowboarding Forbidden Here

Skiing or Boarding in Park City? Rent your gear or have them tuned up at Aloha!

Thanks to Aloha Ski and Snowboard Rental in Park City! I am working on a new art series that involves used skis and snowboards, which have been donated by the team at Aloha. 

This is Alex and me in their Main Street location. 

They are friendly and prompt and do a great job, so if you're going to Park City and need gear or just need to get your stuff tuned up, GO TO ALOHA!

These guys rock!
