    Another Sad Story - Today's WAPO

    I have a sub to the WP. This link may work. Incredibly tragic and very hard to read. https://wapo.st/3UpvORo

    how do you carry your skis?

    I don't know if it's because I am short, or something else. But I have always carried my skis over my shoulder tips up in the back. My husband likes to tell me I am doing it "wrong" and tries to get me to do it "right". But when they are positioned on my shoulder with the tips in front, I...

    Your Oddest Airplane Seatmate

    I went to Pitt too! The bus system is pretty great! It gets you pretty much wherever you need to go. I lived in Squirrel Hill, so the 61C bus was my friend.

    Surge in CA ski accidents links to weed, GoPros, and selfies.

    I have seen an example of almost all of these scenarios. * A ski team instructor with 5 kids giving mini-lesson on balance Inside the lift corral, blocking an entire aisle. Granted it was a quiet day, but still he should have known better. * Out of control kid skiers flying down the...

    How do you feel about people leavings their skis on the ground outside the lodge?

    I used to see a lot of it when there would be races and the ski team kids would just leave all their skis everywhere. I have not been up on a race day in awhile, so don't really know if it persists. Or perhaps snowbasin has addressed it, they have added a lot more racks at the base area near...

    Surge in CA ski accidents links to weed, GoPros, and selfies.

    This really isnt surprising. I wonder if it's true for other areas like CO with the legalization of substances

    Skiing while pregnant - late season European resorts

    Congratulations! It's such a personal choice and it depends on your comfort and how you are feeling. I skied in March and April when I was pregnant both times, but was in my 1st trimester (November babies) and felt good. I stuck to groomed runs. You'll know what's right for you and how...

    A-basin in May?

    Thanks @RachelV I do love spring skiing. I have never skied any resorts in CO, much less ABasin. I just know I am far from an expert skier, so I don't know what terrain will be accessable to me, is it just the expert terrain that's open?

    A-basin in May?

    We are thinking of heading to A-basin for a mother's day weekend trip this year. Anyone have experience and know what conditions are generally like? What terrain is typically open? Stuff available to ski for a wannabe good skier.

    Looking for a narrow ski out west

    Have you had access to the Solomon QST line? I am more or less a perpetual intermediate. I am quite a bit heavier than you (though also short -lol). I demoed the Solomons a year ago and they were so easy to maneuver. I did find the tips a little floppy, not sure if I was pushing a speed...

    Skier dies at Taos Ski Valley

    This is so awful. That poor family. Having kids aged 11-13 it really hits home. My kids have always worn helmets, aside from when we just stayed on the magic carpet when they were 3. So for us it's 2nd nature. I have a neighbor though and her parents pay for a week at Snowbird every...

    Help Needed: I am afraid of the bunny hill.

    Is skiing as expensive as we think?

    This is a funny comparison. I do love going to our local AAA team. But even that is not the same. And if we went to see the Ogden Raptors, A I think?? Anyway sure it's baseball and sure it's still a fun day. But definitely not the same.

    Legs…so sore!

    Depending on the area you usually ski, getting used to higher altitude, longer slopes, and working in some heavy snow conditions can totally wear you out. I know when my husband and I made our first trip to Utah, from Washington, DC, we skied from 9 and then took a break, we were tired after...

    Is skiing as expensive as we think?

    Sure, skiing doesn't have to be expensive. if you are lucky to live close to those lower cost ski areas. There is Nordic Valley, Beaver Mountain or Cherry Peak here in Utah. Though I guess this article is geared towards people who live in Colorado/Denver area. But depending on where in the...

    Skier/Snowboarder responsibility code

    Maybe, but also on Sunday as I was taking a lunch break there was a dad and his two sons (prob around 9-13) laughing about how they keep getting told to slow down. even the dad. It makes me sad, because yeah, we all like the feeling of cruising down a run, but seriously there seems to be...

    Skier/Snowboarder responsibility code

    I honestly wonder if there is any solution here? Pulling passes, sure. But there can't be someone everywhere on the mountain. Yesterday, I was taking an access trail to the other side of my home mountain. Conditions were getting soft and on the right side of the trail kids/teens like to...

    Alterra to Acquire A-Basin

    I remember when I lived on the east coast, and when I first moved to Utah, I jealously looked at Colorado and their inexpensive multi-resort pass (I don't remember what it was called), and thinking Utah really needed to do something similar. How naïve I was. Hopefully this does not ruin...
