I've been skiing since age 10, skiing Winter Park since 1988 and I'm almost half-way to 100 years old! While I've “adjusted” my skiing style over the years, the biggest change for the good has put me back on the Bunny Slopes. Yeah......My knees can still handle the Bumps on Mary Jane, my True Love is still finding the untracked tree [...]

Last Tuesday night was hoppin' at Smokin' Moes Rib House & Saloon in downtown Winter Park. The Grand County Blues Society brought Trampled Under Foot to town to play for their Fat Tuesday celebration and we ended up with the added pleasure of having Soulmate sit in for a few numbers at the end. It was a great night of music and dancing! Real [...]

The new Winter Park based company, Powder Addiction, is officially opened for business! My husband Jamie, aka Ski Boss runs the show so I, luckily, got to join him for his first tour yesterday. It was fabulous! Powder Addictions permitted area is on Jones pass which is accessed past Henderson mine on the south- east side of Berthoud Pass. The terrain is incredible. The snow cat transported us up to 12,500 feet. We had fresh tracks every run. I know that is hard to believe this year since we are all praying for snow but Jones pass actually had 8 inches new on Monday and a few inches on Tuesday. The guides are all avalanche experts and they continuously evaluate the slopes for stability to ensure our safety. Each guest is provided with appropriate avalanche gear, fat powder skis and a hearty lunch from Rudis Deli. We skied chutes, bowls, and glades all untouched fresh powder. The longest run from the top to the bottom is 3000 vertical! It was a taste of big mountain skiing right in our own back yard! If you love skiing the POW POW check out Powder Addiction- I promise you wont be disappointed!
