I’ve become much better at snowboarding over the past few seasons, but the T-Bar at Breckenridge can still give me pause. Getting up to the top…
I had the chance to drive a 2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS AWD for a week. As any self-respecting snow blogger, I took the opportunity to take it…
Wow, it looks like the entire state saw a bunch of snow in the past 24 hours. Why can’t today be Friday instead?
If you’re looking to visit Colorado and a bit short on skiwear (maybe you live somewhere tropical) then check out Mountain Threads. This local business of renting jackets, pants, gloves, hats, etc. is not a new concept (common in Europe) but fairly new to Colorado. Prices are fairly reasonable and the convenience can’t be beat. A typical men’s outfit (underwear, jacket, hat, gloves, pants, helmet) will run about $100 per day and deliver directly to any address you provide.
If you haven’t noticed, there’s been plenty of traffic (along with snow) in the mountains. The long-running SkiCarpool.org has always worked as a great venue to find a ride up to the slopes. Be sure to check it out if you’re looking for a carpool buddy…
From Morgan Bast at the Buzz blog:
[Vail Resorts] announced this morning that they have entered into an agreement to acquire the Lake Tahoe resort, making almost eight ski resorts accessed through the Epic, Epic Local, and Tahoe Value passes. As of today, Kirkwood passholders will have access to Heavenly and Northstar California, and Vail Resorts passholders will have access to Kirkwood. All pass options and information can be found at bestoftahoe.com.
Not too shabby.
IF you haven’t seen it yet (it’s everywhere!) check out this beautiful video of Jacob Sutton’s LED surfer (snowboarder). Slow motion, white boarder on black background. It’s surreal.
It was an ideal Saturday on the slopes. A-Basin saw 8 inches, Keystone saw 4, Vail had 10. We picked Keystone since we hadn’t been in a while and wanted to give the Outback a second chance. Good thing we did. The difference a month will make. The Outback at Keystone had plenty of fresh…
Plenty of snow last night in Summit County and Vail. Perfect Saturday morning conditions for those willing to fight traffic.
The big winner from this big snowstorm is Echo Mountain near Evergreen with 55 inches in 48 hours.
Nearly a foot of new snow in Denver but half that in the mountains. Hoping it keeps coming down…
