December 4, 2017 by braveskimom

I’m always interested in staying healthy and keeping my family healthy. I’ve long believed that skiing is good for me and my family (you can read one of my most popular posts about the benefits of skiing, here), so I am happy to share this infographic on the health benefits of skiing. I don’t agree […]

Cross-Country Skiing Tips for Families

February 6, 2017 by braveskimom

My husband and I recently arrived at a local cross-country ski trail to find 30 tweens and teens skiing with their coaches from the Aspen Valley Ski Club.  We were stunned. When our sons were younger, getting them to Nordic ski was nearly impossible. “It’s just like walking,” they’d whine. “We want to go downhill. […]

September 19, 2016 by braveskimom

sunshine village yoga for skiers

I’m a new yoga convert: I’m obnoxious. I’m proselytizing. I’m spreading the word. I’m trolling for other yoga converts. Most of all though, I’m all about incorporating yoga into my ski season conditioning.  Why Yoga? For years I’ve avoided yoga. While many of my friends embraced a consistent yoga practice, I did not. I found yoga intimidating. I didn’t […]

July 11, 2016 by braveskimom

I’m not a very good mountain biker. I live in a mountain biking town, where people regularly throw down 40 miles on technical single track. Not me.
