It was Hope on the Slopes day at Brecenridge. The day where all the teams that raised money for he American Cancer Society got to hit the hill and rack up as much vertical feet as they could.
Being on Team Breck was a blast. We had our hand-made capes which drew plenty of smiles and attention. And we had our large group flying down the hill, as quickly, yet safely, as possible. We had a huge day at Breck: over 26,000 vertical feet (16 chair rides). I look forward to it again next year.

Ullr, pronounced “Eww – lurr,” according to Norse mythology, is the son of Sif and a stepson of Thor. He’s known to be an expert archer, hunter, skater and skier.

Our pals over at Freeskier have the scoop on this season’s “The Meeting” (#9) in Aspen:
In addition to being the premier snow film festival with the latest ski and snowboard releases, The Meeting serves as the foundation for a weekend of panels, speakers, networking, music, art, and fashion. In its ninth year, The Meeting has become established as a must attend event for snow and action sports brands, film makers, media and resorts. The registration fee for The Meeting is $349 per person, which includes all of the panels, movies, activities, music and parties.
Film festival slash conference slash party. With excellent names appearing on both the film and the business sides, it looks to be well worth the $349. Learn more at aspensnowmass.com.
