Upcoming Events: Arapahoe Basin 2017 Opening Day, Breckenridge 2017 Opening Day
The process of switching from snowboarding to skiing has been many seasons in the making. I was hesitant to invest in all new gear upfront and opted instead to borrow my mom’s old gear for a bit several years to make sure skiing was going to stick. The result: I LOVE skiing. I think it’s so much…
I’m in my last semester of my MBA (hallelujah!) and my final project is about lodging options near resorts. I’m exploring market willingness to stay in micro-rooms (about 1/2 the size of a typical hotel room) or group rooms (2-4 person shared hostel accommodations) in exchange for significantly reduced prices. I’m currently collecting primary data and…
If you want to read about how unsatisfying it is to flip your husband off in mittens when he takes you on a harder run than you wanted to do, this post about my day in ski school over at Breck is for you.
If you want to read about how I learned to combat my “back seat” tendencies, this post about my day in ski school is for you.
If you want to read about spreading peanut butter on bread as a metaphor for good turning technique, this post about my day in ski school is for you.
If you don’t want to read about any of those things, this post about my day in ski school is still for you because pretty much none of that is directly referenced in the article and I’m pretty sure you’ll love it anyway.

I love this article about a mom who started a clothing company after her daughter was sick of boys getting “all the cool stuff” while she was stuck with pink and purple clothes covered in flowers. There’s no pink or purple or glitter or hearts or flowers in the Girls Will Be clothing brand, and…
I’m notoriously adverse to shopping for clothes. Most of the time a trip to the mall feels somewhat akin to pulling teeth, unless I’m shopping for outdoor winter gear. I’m pretty sure I could shop for fleeces and coats and mittens all day. One of my favorite gear advances in recent years is the double…
You’ve probably already seen them around the blog and our Instagram feed, but I wanted to take a second to publicly profess how much I adore my Anarchy sunglasses (the women’s line is called “angel“). It’s always sunglass season in Colorado; the glare off the snow in the winter can be equally (if not more) punishing…
Colorful moments that added a little excitement to our season The time I Nordic skied without knowing how to ski You may recall our Nordic skiing outing with friends at Breckenridge. While it was fabulously fun, I do have a few recommendations based on my experience. Start by asking yourself these questions: Did you know…
