    Diva West @ Steamboat, Trip Report and Photos

    I was just up this weekend- Skied Xmas Tree and The Gully w my son and it was as filled in as I've seen it in a while, not too many rocks exposed and the snow is holding better than at the lower spots on the mountain where it's getting a bit sun affected and springlike. We didn't hike up Werner...

    Organizing ALL the gear?!

    My kids are 9 and 7. We boot up in the car. We have a Kulkea Tandem bag which I don't think they make anymore, but is basically like a family ski boot bag and it has four compartments. We put the kids gear in that and then my husband and I have our own boot bags, so that when we ski solo...

    Alyeska

    Thanks, yeah we are big fans of smaller resorts. Interesting to hear you say that the blues are mellow- a few random threads on online forums mention that they are steep? I know though that skiing on a run that is over flat water can make a run feel steeper though, so maybe that is what those...

    Hybrid, EV, or PHEV for a ski car?

    I have discussed this with my husband (re: EVs bringing a 'return to the classic pre-highway' road trip). We take our EV frequently on long road trips and when we charge, we often time that stop with visit to a locally owned restaurant or shops etc. I think a lot of people who are anti-EV don't...

    Alyeska

    Thanks! We are planning to spend a night in Anchorage before driving to Girdwood and will hit grocery store there. One of my older kid's friends will be up there w his family at the time (his uncle works Ski Patrol on the mtn) so if the steep terrain is open hoping he can give us a good overview...

    Alyeska

    Has anyone skied Alyeska? Headed there with my family over Spring Break to take advantage of our IKON days there. I've done some basic research and we have a place to stay booked, but would love to hear other skier's thoughts on the resort? Any things to consider with kids? I have a 9 (will be...

    Atomic Hawk Ultra 115 S

    Obviously @SnowHot would be the expert in this, but as an extra point of data I ski the Hawx Ultra XTD from about two seasons ago as my daily alpine boot. My fitter put me in this boot vs the Ultra because he felt the liner was a little thinner and would accomodate my wide forefoot better (i...

    Do you wear mid layer pant?

    I use the Backcountry insulated knickers over top a pair of thin Obermeier 3/4 length baselayers under my non-insulated ski bibs. The Marmot insulated knickers are not quite long enough to tuck inside the cuff of my boot (or maybe my socks aren't tall enough, either way they gap when I wear just...

    Ski Bibs: Yay or nay?

    I explained it a bit upthread, but basically I have the same size in both. There is more room through the hip and thigh in the Siren and the crotch doesn't ride so low. Basically, they just fit better around this area for me. Additionally, the under-boob rise on the Siren bibs allows them to...

    Ski Bibs: Yay or nay?

    I wore mine for some resort uphill today for the first time in a while after mostly wearing my Moxie bibs for alpine downhill. Man, the Sirens fit so nicely, I wish they'd do a similar cut/fit with a more hardshell material like the Moxies are made out of.

    (MCL)

    I partially tore my MCL several years ago (yikes I guess its now around ten years) and it was the season I was basically ski bumming up at Breck. I tore it on a routine groomer run with about 6" fresh over top groom when I was just warming up and waiting for some more terrain to open up. I...

    Eldora women's clinic- any experiences?

    Glad you had a good time! Any chance you skied today and were the gal I rode with who was asking about the blue runs?

    Eldora women's clinic- any experiences?

    Hm, I guess maybe 6-8 per group? And of course not everyone showed up every given day for various reasons. I'd highly recommend it, especially as it sounds like you might have the skills for the terrain you want but are maybe struggling with the confidence aspect? I'd say that fits very much...

    Eldora women's clinic- any experiences?

    I did the half day program last year and really enjoyed it. What level skier do you consider yourself? Because I do think it attracts a more intermediate crowd although there was a small group of higher level ladies in the program when I did it and it varies depending on who signs up of course...

    Please don’t teach your own kids to ski!

    I taught both my kids the very basic basics, and also spent to put them in a ski lesson program at the local. I think they get benefits from both of those things, if you yourself have experience with lessons and how you should be teaching them. Definitely the hardest thing (and I'll admit we...

    Help Needed: Denver ski shop recommended for ski tuning

    If you are open to a drive from Denver you all need to go see Timur in Lafayette at Snow-hut!! Best tune I have ever had, and I am not a person that normally notices a tune.

    Tesla (Model 3) in Colorado?

    We love our Tesla (Y) out here. But I wouldn't drive it in the winter on stock tires, we mount snows on ours. Charging is no issue out here, plenty of chargers.
