Saturday was a great day to be on the mountain: perfect temperatures, not too crowded, and some decent “early season” conditions. Rachel…
We had a great Saturday at Breckenridge. The T-Bar had only been open for a few days so we took the opportunity to milk it as much as possible. As…
We took a bit of a break and hadn’t been up for nearly a month due to work, holidays, sickness and.. well, the fact there has been absolutely…
There is no doubt in my mind that the place to be this weekend is Breckenridge. Just take a look at everything going on. It’s bound to be a great time. Happy Birthday, Breckenridge!

This week will be a busy one as the entire snow sport industry has descended upon Denver. Being a native I only find this appropriate and look forward to meeting new companies, brands, and fellow media. Here are some of the events you’ll find me attending: Wednesday, January 27, 2010: SIA Snow Fashion Show The…

I’ll be honest, the snow hasn’t been great in Summit County. It’s only been in the last few weeks that we’ve seen a lot of fresh snow up there. This was the first “real” day of skiing for me (opening weekend was just for practice). We headed up to Keystone on Friday night to catch…

A new line of snowboards called ‘Love’ from Burton have nearly-nude models on them and Vail Resorts, Winter Park, and Echo Mountain (so far) have prohibited employees from riding on them. Sure it’s common sense. Even though they aren’t preventing guests (and off-the-clock employees) from using them, I wonder how long until someone makes a…

I just finished up watching my first documentary in high definition: Heli-skiing: living the dream. Produced by Discovery HD Theater this was an awe-inspiring look at Mike Wiegele’s “Wiegele World” in BC, Canada. An expensive trip that is worth every penny as Wiegele has cited numerous clients walking away telling him it was “best day…
