Upcoming Events: Arapahoe Basin 2017 Opening Day, Breckenridge 2017 Opening Day
It had been quite a while since we went skiing. Nearly two full months, actually. And I feel like we completely missed out on the winter season here in Colorado. We visited Breck on Saturday and it was a beautiful, warm, sunny, spring day? The first weekend in March? Not good. Maybe I was just…
Our first day back on the hill this season was one of the biggest around: Vail! Rachel had never been to Vail and since we were in town for a conference, we made the most of a quiet Friday on the mountain. After a leisurely walk along the creek, we started at the Cascade Hotel’s…
After an awesome day exploring Peak 6 and skiing off the Kensho SuperChair we decided to check out Peak 7 and 8. Luckily we were greeted with snow flurries mid-day and after a few runs it was coming down hard. We had an inch or two underfoot in no time and enjoyed the soft, fluffy…

Ski Patrol started opening up a bunch of terrain Saturday morning and allowing access to fresh,…
How exciting: Breckenridge will open Peak 6 for the very first time at noon on Christmas Day!
The snow started falling in Breckenridge by mid-morning. We decided to let it fall and allow the crowds to thin out before we headed to the hill. We ended up starting around 12:15 PM and had plenty of fresh powder on all the groomed runs and plenty of untouched stuff in the trees and harder…
