#CannonIsMine: New Hampshire Family Skiing at its Finest

December 1, 2020 by braveskimom

Cannon Mountain, New Hampshire first crossed our radar about a decade ago. We were chatting with my husband’s brother and our sister-in-law about skiing. They told us how much they loved skiing at Cannon with their two kids.  Then they swore us to secrecy. “Please don’t tell anymore,” they said. “Don’t write about Cannon.” A […]

October 13, 2020 by braveskimom

The leading paragraphs may seem a bit quaint at this moment, but when “normal” returns, I still believe that small resorts, like Sunlight, are reinvigorating our favorite winter sports. Please check at the bottom of this post for specific updates […]

I Shut Down Siri. I Rejected Alexa. But I Embrace Emma.

February 27, 2020 by braveskimom

Have you met Emma? Emma is Vail Resort’s Epic Mountain Assistant, a texting service that allows users to get immediate mountain information including chairlift wait times, snow reports, grooming, parking 411 and more. I recently used Emma to check chairlift waiting times in Vail while on the mountain. Why? So that I could avoid the […]
