On January 21, 2018, World Snow Day, the Aspen Snowmass Ski and Snowboard School featured tours of an on-mountain microhydroelectric plant at Snowmass Resort, with the added bonus of a free lunch — regular and vegan hot dogs. “We wanted to do something for World Snow Day this year,” explains organizer Kevin Jordan who is […]

Skiing Snowmass With Teens

  When your children are young it’s easy to find great family ski resorts. Most resorts offer extensive programs for 12-and-unders, including learn to ski and ride classes, day care, craft parties, game nights and so on. It’s different with teens. They are less likely to jump feet first into anything, although most of them are […]

One of our perennial four-season favorites is….no surprise…Snowmass. Ten years ago this summer, my husband’s brothers and sisters joined […]

Why Our Family Loves to Ski at Snowmass, Colorado

February 23, 2012 by braveskimom

As you may know by now, we ski Snowmass many days each season. For a change of pace (and opinion), today I offer the perspective of Joy, a mom who took up skiing at the same time as her young daughter. On Monday, I’ve got an update on some of the mountain’s lesser-known charms and […]
