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…
The Colorado season is officially ending this weekend. Al at Arapahoe Basin announced they will close this Sunday, May 6.
This Sunday was the end of the regular season for most of the remaining resorts in Colorado. Breckenridge’s last day, except for it’s final two weekends, was yesterday and we were gifted 8-inches of fresh new snow. We haven’t seen this much snow at once in months. The new snow was great and we found…
In case you wanted to know what you’re missing out here: here’s some powder off the T-Bar at Breckenridge
Looking good, Breck.
Spending Easter morning at Breckenridge was a great spring activity. We started by waking up at 5:30 AM to head over to Ten Mile Station and attend the Sunrise Service. The near-full moon lit the chair ride up Peak 9. By 6:30 the sun crested over the continental divide and it seemed like we had…
It’s spring skiing in the Rockies and that means no traffic, no crowds and wonderful weather. We arrived at Breck around 9:30 and the airport lot had no more than two dozen cars. Once we hit Peak 7 we noticed something I haven’t seen in months: no lift line. We were able to get in…
I’ve debated posting this because it seems to add insult to injury to sit here looking at bare ground and sparse snow and think “hell yeah I want to buy a season pass”! But, putting some money down now will be like a love letter to your future self. Lock in some great deals before…
If anyone is looking for a place to celebrate Easter in Summit County (or is just looking for an excuse to watch the sunrise from the top of the Rocky Mountains), it looks like Breckenridge has a sunrise service on Peak 9. Meet at the Quicksilver lift (no ski gear allowed, but also no lift…
It’s Easter weekend and the season has slowed to a crawl. We haven’t seen any substantial snow in weeks and weeks. But, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. Here’s this weekend’s events worth checking out. Taste of Vail (April 5 – 7) In its 22nd year, the Taste of Vail is the nation’s premier…
The season is very much winding down and it’s not looking like we’ll see much more snow. But! If you want 14 days of skiing at Winter Park for only $99 you should snag this.
If you missed this, EpicMix has announced a special offer that allows you to purchase 20 of your high-resolution photos for only $19.80. Regularly the photos are $19.95 each so this is a great deal for those that held out. Plus, they’re “opening up” all of this seasons photos to go back and buy, share, etc. (but that really just seemed like unnecessary obsolescence from the beginning and is the right thing to do).
Check out what’s going on around the various resorts in Ski Country over at the Hub, a new site dedicated to pulling in all the blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and video content from around the state.
Here’s an easy way to save $40 on registration for what looks like one of the more entertaining ways to end the season: Copper Mountain’s CopperMan adventure race.
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 with a snowboard is always a bit of a challenge. So if there’s anyone else out there that always thinks it’s an accomplishment to make it in one piece,…
If you missed the sad news yesterday, due to the short season the Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin is closed… for now. Fingers crossed for a snowy April!
