There’s a New Ski Diva in Town

November 14, 2023 by braveskimom

Meet Rachel Vecchitto, the new owner of TheSkiDiva.com, a popular, and groundbreaking, website for women who ski (and snowboard). She’s the new ski diva in town. And before we get too far, Rachel wants to make one thing clear, “I own TheSkiDiva.com website now, but the site’s founder, Wendy Clinch, is still THE Ski Diva.”  Gracious […]

Are You a Brave Ski Mom? Or Do You Know One?
