If you asked me my opinion on Copper Mountain at this time last week I would have said, “Eh it’s not that great.” If you asked me my opinion on Copper Mountain today I would say, “Holy cow it’s an awesome mountain, and I might switch passes next year!” What changed my mind? Well you … Continue reading »

So you want to go to the XGames
My goal every single weekend is basically to not hurt myself. And that was especially my goal this weekend when I headed to Aspen for the XGames. The life of a weekend warrior can be rough, and in “not my finest moment ever” I sort of hurt myself last year during the XGames in Aspen when I … Continue reading »
A tale of two ski days
After last ski season, I think saying that we Coloradans are powder starved would be the understatement of the year. Sure when I look back on last year, there were a few bright, shiny days of good skiing conditions. But mostly it just felt like I spent all of last season waiting for the season … Continue reading »
First turns
I’m the brat who has been upset about the 70 degree perfect weather we’ve been having in the Denver area the past week or so. I love idyllic fall weather just as much as the next person but ever since I went to opening day at Keystone last week I’ve pretty much been in full … Continue reading »
It can snow any day now…
If you had asked me three years ago to choose between winters or summers in Colorado I would have chosen summers hands down. For me, Colorado summers let me do everything that I loved: trail running, hiking, camping and white water rafting. Winters were just that annoying time of year when I couldn’t go trail … Continue reading »
Closing time
Ski season, like all good things, comes to an end eventually. And even though I haven’t gone skiing for six weeks, I felt the need to say a proper good-bye to this year’s season Admittedly, the snow this year was abysmally bad; I still had a great season. You can never be upset about any … Continue reading »
Paula and the boys
Somehow I feel like I always end up hanging out with boys. Like this past week, when I spent two days at a condo in Breckenridge with six guys. Good thing I grew up with two older brothers. It all started when my friend Andy mentioned that his band, Digital Beat Down, was planning on … Continue reading »
BroBoard Friday
After my difficult three day work week it was time to take a well deserved break yesterday for BroBoard Friday! My coworker and I coordinated our lieu days to go skiing, so every other Friday has been deemed BroBoard Friday. Although I’m not a bro or a boarder BroBoard Friday is really all about just … Continue reading »
Mogul domination
If you saw me skiing down a steep, groomed run, I might have you fooled into thinking I have been skiing for years. This would change the instant you saw me skiing a run with moguls. Especially since I’m using the word ski loosely here. Put me on a run with moguls and the way … Continue reading »
Xtreme Aspen
It’s a good thing that I recently decided to embrace whatever life throws me because I definitely had an interesting time in Aspen this past weekend! My friend Gracie suggested going to Aspen/Snowmass during the X-Games a few weeks ago, and of course I immediately was on board. I pretty much don’t turn down ski trips. … Continue reading »
