It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over.
The ski season, that is. That’s why I’m thrilled about a fun giveaway promotion Mile High Mamas is offering. Ski wear industry leader Obermeyer wants to send your child to Spring Break in style and is offering up one of their cutting-edge I-Grow jackets as a giveaway.
Let’s face it: [...]

The last time I hiked Highlands Bowl, my younger son was 7. It was a horrifying experience. The skiing was sublime. The hike, well, let’s just put it this way: I waited four years to do it again.
There is something about being a mom following a beloved son up a snowy knife-edge of a [...]

Heading to Summit County for a day of skiing, on a Saturday, with the half the Front Range can take twice as long as the average trip to the mountains. I was proud we made our 6:30 am departure time, but as soon as we hit I-70 out of Golden we realized it wasn’t early [...]

My family had an unprecedented vacation to Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR).
It wasn’t just attributed to the eight inches of fresh powder without a lift line in sight or the glistening Elk Mountains (the frozen equivalent of Shangri-La). But rather, because I skied my first double-black diamond run (Rachels)…and later managed to fall getting [...]

Honestly, I didn’t know there was any skiing in Glenwood Springs until last summer when we went to explore. Up top, at the Glenwood Caverns, our guide told us about how the town was a great place for families—with year-round activities—and how his own kids had learned to ski “up at Sunlight.” Our eyes followed [...]

While the rest of the country is in a panic over the snow, here in Colorado we are doing backflips. One Colorado resort in particular, Steamboat Springs Ski Area, saw 17 [...]

On Saturday, my family had one of our favorite winter adventures in Colorado: We skated Evergreen Lake.
Located just 20 minutes from Denver off I-70, this lake is surrounded by blue spruce, pines, evergreens and is about as close to an authentic Canadian skating experience as you can get in the Denver-area.
Side note: I was raised [...]

“This had to be the most perfect day ever to ski Buttermilk,” laughed my husband as we walked back to our car at the end of our ski day. “Deep powder and no crowds,” he crowed. “This may have been my best ski day ever!”
I will admit it and just throw it out there: Our [...]

There are Mommy & Me sign language, yoga and swim classes but why should it stop there?
At Echo Mountain it keeps going—straight down the mountain in their Parent and Me private ski lessons for 3-year-old skiers and his/her parent. The concept is brilliant and simple: Take a one-hour lesson with your child to prepare them [...]
