Today a guest post (about something I’ll never try — but maybe you will) from Ritch, who blogs at heelsidechill.com. When the snow stops falling, and it all melts away, what is there for a skier or snowboarder to do? Sure, there is always golf or hiking, but there simply are not that many activities […]

September 12, 2016 by braveskimom

Say it isn’t so. As a passionate skier, with a houseful of passionate skiers, it’s nearly incomprehensible to me why someone would try skiing once and never go back. I mean, what’s not to love, right? Wrong. A recent study by Boulder-based consulting firm RRC Associates trains a strong light on what new skiers really […]
