Missing My Brave Ski Mom

November 23, 2022 by braveskimom

my brave ski mom as a little girl riding in an open trailer to go skiing in colorado

This post has been 5 months in the making. So many times I’ve sat down to write it, and so many times, I couldn’t begin to type. It was just too hard. But with Thanksgiving tomorrow, I am feeling thankful for you, for my family and friends, and for my mother, who passed away unexpectedly […]

March 10, 2020 by braveskimom

First, we skied.  Then, we had drinks. Meanwhile, we were freezing. Pro Tip: Check the weather before you go and maybe, just maybe, plan to après indoors on frigid days in mid-February at 10,000 feet.  Still, despite requiring hours of heat and hot tubs to warm up après the après, the drinks (and company!) were […]

Ski Day Burritos Take Flight! (Recipes for Instant Pot Pinto Beans and Veggie Burritos)

July 30, 2019 by braveskimom

ingredients for veggie burritos

If you’ve been reading Braveskimom.com, you know that we don’t really like dropping our hard-earned cash on expensive ski resort lunches. We feel the same way about airport and airplane food. So, this summer we took veggie burritos to new heights — carrying them on a noontime flight in lieu of purchasing something at the […]
