Two College Students Ride the Ski Train to Winter Park and Find it Good

September 25, 2017 by braveskimom

Here’s a first-hand report on the Winter Park Express Ski Train from two discerning and, possibly, hung-over skiers. They’ll happily ride the Ski Train again, just not on Spring Forward day. By Ian Lummis Sometimes it seems that Colorado’s Front Range ski resorts are better known for lift lines and heavy traffic than the actual […]

Ski Trip Report: More Than Expected at Winter Park, Colorado

January 18, 2012 by braveskimom

Last winter, after a two decade hiatus, my husband and I found ourselves skiing Winter Park and Mary Jane. We hadn’t stayed away from these mountains on purpose. We just hadn’t been in the neighborhood, and from where we live, Winter Park is a bit of a haul. But as we found out, the “haul” […]

November 10, 2011 by braveskimom

“Okay, now remember, look ahead to your exit. When you do that, the turns will be easy,” said David, our downhill biking coach. My husband, older son and I were at the Trestle Bike Park at Winter Park, Colorado. It was a beautiful July morning with bright sun, puffy clouds, gorgeous wildflowers and a mountain […]

Indigenous to Colorado

May 19, 2011 by braveskimom

Today’s post is a guest post by Dayna Ashley-Oehm, a Brave Ski Mom from Colorado. So to call my ilk indigenous is a bit of a stretch, but since my great-great-grandfather started farming sugar beets on the eastern plains of Colorado, I’m going to maintain that I am as indigenous to Colorado as the mountain […]
