Women’s World Cup Weekend

Women’s World Cup Weekend

Nov 30, 2009

The final turns of Saturday’s World Cup Giant Slalom Another fun opening weekend has come and gone, and with that, another World Cup Event. The giant slalom and slalom races, the only U.S. stops on the Women’s World Cup circuit, were on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Crowds of spectators watched from the finish area and grandstand, no doubt contributed in part to the sunny weather and somewhat uninspiring ski options...

Deceptively Good

Deceptively Good

Nov 21, 2009

Blue skies and powder- no complaints from Pete Anzalone. There’s snow up high, yet the mountain doesn’t open until Thanksgiving and because we don’t like waiting– sometimes we’re downright impatient– four of us decided to go get a sneak peek. Neal Beidleman, Pete Anzalone, Christy and I made up the eager foursome and found things to be pretty good if not downright awesome by pre-opening day standards. One run in...

Once in a while we all have to give something back. So when I saw the email yesterday I knew the right thing to do was go donate my time. It was a worthy cause. Here’s how the request for volunteers read: Powder Posse on Friday April 17th (tomorrow) ski up the POWDER. To join this Posse: You must be an expert skier or rider in good physical shape You...

Santa Delivers

Santa Delivers

Dec 26, 2008

Who said Christmas is just for kids? Not Amy and Neal. With a little supervisory help from the grandparents, and with a few hours free before starting Christmas dinner, they left Reed and Nina to play with presents and snuck out in seek of their own. It looks like Amy got what she wanted. Having just wrapped up a casual-paced morning of gifts and coffee, Christy and I headed to Highlands...

Christy’s New Ski Pants

Christy’s New Ski Pants

Dec 18, 2008

What a shame. There was too much snow for Christy to effectively show off her new green ski pants at Aspen Highlands the other day. Were it not so much fun, she might have actually cared that her ’08-’09 ski season fashion debut went largely unnoticed. The twenty inches that fell by Sunday was augmented by another storm that came through Tuesday, with yet a third walllop expected Thursday. Things are looking good. Most of Aspen Mountain...

Hunter Mountain Memories

Hunter Mountain Memories

Nov 25, 2008

      The Little Nell, yesterday. (the Little Nell, yesterday) Resembling a scene out of  the early season playbook from upstate New York’s Hunter Mountain, a.k.a. “The Snowmaking Capitol of the World”, the recent low temperatures have allowed the still primitive-by-east-coast-standards snowmaking system of Aspen Mountain to crank out the fake stuff. An anonymous Aspen Ski Company insider, identified only as ‘M. Blakeslee’, confirmed that, if temperatures stay low and snowmaking continues, top-to-bottom...

Still skiing? North faces of LaPlata and Sayres ar Still skiing? North faces of LaPlata and Sayres are still looking good. And there’s snow in the forecast! ❄️❄️❄️❄️⛷
What’s the tallest named “hill” in the count What’s the tallest named “hill” in the country? (hint: it’s elevation is 13,761 ft.) ⛷🏔 the #colorado #ski13ers #backcountryskiing season is winding down. Still some good 🌽❄️ to be found but it’s going quick ☀️☀️☀️
Making the best of challenging snow conditions las Making the best of challenging snow conditions last weekend in the San Juans. It’s always better to be skiing than not, right? ⛷
It’s disappointing to have the spring season trashed by airborne dust and dirt though. 👎 Experts say the continuing drought in the American West is all but ensuring this spring phenomenon will happen with increasing frequency— and even earlier in the season— in the years ahead. 👎 Let’s hope those forecasts are wrong. The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
