family skiing at ski showdown montana

For more decades than I care to admit, I’ve been skiing with my family. I started skiing with my parents at age three. A few years later, my brother joined in. For the last 18 years, my husband and I have skied with our sons. Over these many, many years, I’ve come to believe a […]

North America’s Favorite Powder Day Resorts

March 7, 2016 by braveskimom

telluride powder day zach templin

Here’s something you may have already guessed: I’m the mom who let’s her kid skip school on powder days. When they were entering grade school, a teacher/friend told me this was a bad idea. “It makes it hard on the teachers. They have to repeat material just for your kids,” she explained.
