A guest post from Rachael Stockwell, a brave ski mom from South Carolina. The years go so fast. One day you’re a child and the next day, you’re not. Luckily, childhood memories are often sparked again as you raise your own children. I look at my kids and I remember doing the same things, and […]

Snowshoe, West Virginia: A Southeast “Secret”

December 10, 2012 by braveskimom

snowshoe ski village

In late October, Snowshoe, West Virginia got a lot of snow. When 28 inches fell in 48 hours, this popular regional ski resort was headlining The Weather Channel. “We’re not located in what people generally think of as Ski Country,” explained Dave Dekama, Snowshoe Marketing Director. “We’re off the beaten path, so owning the snow […]

Instagram post 2194606802440017328_15787370 Wondering where to ski this winter? For an astoundingly potent combination of blue skies, tall peaks, dry snow, arts, culture and cuisine you gotta try Santa Fe! Fill up on skiing and riding, architecture, art ...like nowhere else. #thecitydifferent #skisantafe @skisantafe
Instagram post 2193996456574400157_15787370 Spending the weekend in glorious #santafenewmexico, I was pleased to get my hands on a hard copy of the current @skinewmexico winter guide! So honored that I was able to contribute and share my massively positive feelings about winter, skiing and snowboarding in the #landofenchantment! For the full article follow the link in my bio or search New Mexico at braveskimom.com. . . . #newmexicotrue #thecitydifferent
Instagram post 2189609439086348992_15787370 If you were willing to head into the trees today at @keystone_resort (at least on the north facing ski patrol approved runs)), the snow was exquisite — not just for December 1, but for anytime. #keystonekickoff
Instagram post 2187209242070932870_15787370 Because who doesn’t want to own and operate their own ski resort? . . . This combination of 3 #lego kits had us building late into the night. The only difference between having little kids and big kids is the amount of beer consumed as the bricks click together. . . . For details on the legos go to braveskimom.com. Link in bio. HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃
Instagram post 2186497244270002632_15787370 What really happens when you drop your skis off at the shop? @mackennea takes an entertaining and informative look at ski tuning and discovers it’s more specialized, interesting and necessary than many of us realize. And it includes diamonds, too. . . . Thanks to @powder7 and @amydannwolf for facilitating the behind-the-scenes look. . . . Link to full post in bio. . . . 📷: MacKennea Broyles #skituning #skimaintenance
Instagram post 2185703885997712922_15787370 Things I ❤️ about writing. 1) Always learning. Even on topics with which I am well familiar, I learn so much. 2) It’s a challenge. Not so much in that writing is difficult, but that crafting a narrative within certain parameters is like solving a puzzle. I like puzzles! 3) Writing is a gift. It’s something I do that gives me great pleasure. When I get an assignment it’s a gift to me. When I write it, I hope it’s a gift to you. . . . This is the cover of the new @spokeandblossom dropping soon. Look for my article about Mountain Town Museums on page 68 featuring @aspenartmuseum (Aspen) @mining_hall_of_fame (Leadville) @coloradosnowsportsmuseum (Vail) and #canyonoftheancientsvisitorcenterandmuseum (Dolores) . . . Plus my features on @hartmann_farmhouse and Ski Weekends on the Cheap! Enjoy!
