How to Save Money on Skiing: Bring Your Lunch (Ski Day Veggie Burritos)

March 14, 2018 by braveskimom

veggie-burritos-mix-up-rice-beans-and-cheese

  When people ask me if we often eat out when skiing, I laugh and explain that while we enjoy delicious food (and a lot of it!), we prefer to spend our money on skiing, not dining. This carries through to our philosophy about lunch. If we paid for ski resorts lunches every time we […]

Gear Notes: Surprising Gifts for Picky Guys

December 13, 2017 by braveskimom

ski stuff pillow and blanket

I had an interesting experience over Thanksgiving break. My son came home from college to find a throw pillow and blanket from Ski Stuff on his bed. This is a young man who doesn’t like me changing anything in his room. So I wasn’t sure how he’d react. Thus, I was quite surprised when he […]

Summer in the mountains is beautiful. Newly greened meadows, released from the monochromatic white and grey of winter, pop with colorful wildflowers. Creeks and rivers, swollen with snowmelt, rush by reflecting and refracting warm sunlight and lending a melodious rhythm to mountain life. Temperatures are moderate, cool breezes are many. It’s an idyllic time of year, both […]

ski go play

Just over 100 years ago, in March 1915 to be exact, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Term Occupancy Act, a law that would eventually shape how and where we ski in the United States.

Our Family Tradition: The Grand Canyon In Autumn

November 27, 2013 by braveskimom

family adventure grand canyon national park

As shocking as it may sound, our family’s favorite outdoor tradition has nothing, but nothing, to do with skiing. Instead, it has a lot to do with hiking and backpacking and spending time together, bonded and awed by the majesty of Grand Canyon National Park.  Seven years ago we gave up on Thanksgiving Day. It’s […]
