Longtime readers may have noticed we had a shortened ski season last year and a slow start this year. We’re finally ready to share the reason: we welcomed a new little bear cub to the cosnow family this off-season!
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.

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.

We drove from Breckenridge, past Buena Vista and Salida to arrive at Monarch in about 90 minutes. Once we arrived, around 10:00 AM, we…
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…
