Skiing Necessities: Collapsible Water Bottles

December 12, 2019 by braveskimom

Do you carry a water bottle when you ski or snowboard? We do. And it started when we were thirsty and couldn’t find a drinking fountain. Skiing makes us thirsty and staying hydrated is important when we’re skiing. Not only does hydration help everyone ski and snowboard better, but hydration also keeps us warmer. A […]

Stuff stockings with lift tickets and gift cards (from Liftopia.com, for example). Or, give your spouse or children a specialized clinic or series of lessons. For adults, consider a three-day camp with John Clendenin of […]

New Olympic Venues: Worth the Cost?

April 2, 2018 by braveskimom

olympic venues in disrepair

Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy, nay, am obsessed, with the Olympics. Winter or summer games, the break provided by a fortnight of watching sport is one of my pleasures. Curling? I’ll watch it. Sailing?
