Whether or not you spend weeks on the slopes each winter or just a few days, investing in a pair of good gloves will make you feel a lot more comfortable – both on the slopes and off. And unlike your other ski gear, you can use them when you are walking the dog, hiking, or just scraping off your windshield before going to work.
1) Layering gloves – Just like all of your other ski gear, layering is often the best solution for your hands. There are gloves that are a layering system – like the Granddoe GCS -Glove

The Snow is Finally Here!
by Bea January 17th, 2012 | Skiing
Yay! Snow! We finally have some snow in New England! Until last week, all of the resorts were begging for snow. Most places had not even opened! Now that they have finally gotten some snow, most of the mountains have opened, and there is at least one trail to go down. That being said, the snow is still not enough, but for the trails that already have a base, the extra foot or so was a great treat over MLK weekend.
I got the chance to go up to Burke Mountain in Vermont. I had never been there before, so

Learning to Ski as an Adult
by Jessica B. January 13th, 2012 | Skiing
Growing up, most of my friends went on skiing holidays all over the world. Some went to the Alps, others to Lake Tahoe, but my family went to a sunny resort instead. My parents never owned a pair of skis, and that meant I never learned to ski.
So when my fiancé proposed we hit the slopes of Austria one winter holiday, I thought he was nuts. Then I tried to think of 15 other things we could do instead. Then I realized this would be a great chance for me to finally learn to ski.

Utah: Accessible Ski Destination
by Bea December 20th, 2011 | Skiing
748 daily scheduled flights arrive in Salt Lake City International Airport from over 90 different cities in North America on a daily basis; I plan to be on one of those flights next year. There is even non-stop service from Paris and Tokyo. Crazy huh? The airport is a major hub for Delta Airlines, but many more airlines fly there as well.
Utah's snow has gotten the nickname of "the Greatest Snow on Earth," so any flight there would be worth it. Plus, once you get there, it is really easy to get to this amazing snow. There is no

From Boston to the Slopes
by Bea November 22nd, 2011 | Skiing
Over Veteran's Day weekend, I got the chance to go to the Boston Ski and Snowboard Expo. The deals were not as great as I was expecting, and most of the lift ticket and lodging deals were raffle-based or not as exciting as expected. The ski selection in terms of last year's skis was not that big, but this year's models were plentiful.
I got a chance to talk to a lot of experts at Volkl and Solomon, and that was a great experience for me. Not only that, but we got a chance to watch guys jump on trampolines,
