Review: Swany X-Change II gloves

Categories: Gear, Recommendations
Written By: Devin Reams
The Swany X-Change II ski gloves are an awesome pair from their sports utility crossover collection. I haven't worn a pair that are so well rounded with little complaint. Interior The lining is comfortable and was perfectly snug. As with any gloves (not mittens) you're a bit limited in mobility but I found I had a decent level of dexterity with these. They are thick, and extremely warm, but tasks like buckling boots and adjusting straps on the slope were no problem. Exterior and shell I skiied with this pair a few days last season but none were overly snowy or wet. As far ...

A new way to rent gear

Categories: Deals, Gear, Recommendations, Telluride, Travel
Written By: BumpSkier007
With airlines now charging as much as $100 to bring skis on the plane, rental shops are becoming a solid option for someone traveling by air to their next ski destination. Besides traditional, retail rental locations a number of delivery rental companies are making a foot hold in many Western resorts. Ski Butlers, a ski rental delivery company started in Utah, has just opened yet another location, this one in Telluride, Colorado. Ski Butlers now serves all major resorts in British Columbia, California, Utah & Wyoming. With prices being competitive with all local ski shops, rental delivery is a nice alternative to ...

There are a ton of parties, events, and concerts coming to Denver this week as the snowsports industry descends on Denver, Colorado. The 2010 SIA Snow Show trade expo will be taking over downtown. Even if you’re not attending the show, you should be downtown this week as there will be plenty of fun to be had. Check out the Apres Ski website for the comprehensive list of events: http://www.denver.org/apresski/home.aspx

I’ll be downtown all week at various parties and events. If you’re around and would like to meet up, feel free to follow Colorado Snow on twitter or send an email to devin@cosnow.com.

Here we are half-way through January 2010 and most of Colorado’s most popular resorts are at 20-30″ bases. Most resorts don’t have enough snow to open up expert (non-man-made snow) terrain such as the Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin. So, it’s with even one or two inches that we get excited. It’s not much to get excited for, but it’s something. Given the state of things, every little bit helps. Joel Gratz has more information on the wave of storms moving through Colorado this week. Expect some good snow by this weekend!

This year she re-claimed the overall World Cup champion title and became the first American woman to win the world Super-G title. You can follow Lindsey on her blog at lindseyvonn.com, and is active on twitter at @lindseyvonn.

If you hadn’t heard, Arapahoe Basin is losing it’s “hard core” exterior and becoming “resortized” by Vail Resorts. With the parking upgrades and Montezuma Bowl lift, it’s hard to argue the resort isn’t trying to stay competitive with the major resorts. So, this summer A-Basin will be adding a high-speed quad lift to replace Exhibition at the bottom of the mountain. Suggestions for the name of the lift are being accepted at alanh@a-basin.net with the winner reciving a 2010-11 Arapahoe Basin Season Pass or $300 gift certificate to Arapahoe Sports.

If you’re a Vail Resorts season pass holder (Summit Pass, Colorado Pass, Epic Pass), keep in mind you have 6 “Ski With A Friend” passes to use this season. This entitles you to discounted lift tickets at the window. We recently visited Beaver Creek where a $97 adult ticket became $65 with the discount. For pricing details (as it varies during the season) visit snow.com or call 888-215-3867.

Updated: As Nicole pointed out, ‘buddy passes’ are different than ’ski with a friend’ passes and prices are posted online. Thanks!
