I have finally been able to get some awesome turns ins! Gosh, it only took until March for the snow to actually fall! The resorts have been doing a great job making the best out of what they have, but it just has not been as exciting and entertaining as previous years. Well, last weekend I got the chance to finally play all day in the glades. I have been able to get into them before, but the coverage was sketchy and well, now we had over two feet to play in!
While I was in the glades, I noticed

by Jessica B. March 2nd, 2012 | Skiing
It’s March, and while it is getting late, it still isn't too late to schedule a skiing getaway to Europe while the peaks are still at their finest. Here are some not to miss hot spots where you can combine hitting the slopes with getting a little bit of culture.
1) Austria – The hills are alive with the sound of skiing. Austria is a great place to enjoy some amazing slopes and some good Austrian food and beer. Even if you are on a budget, chances are you can find a nice spot here to enjoy with a loved

Sugarloaf

This weekend I was given the opportunity to head up to Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. The last time that I had been there was over ten years ago, so I was pretty excited when my friend offered me an irresistible deal on a bus ride up and a two-night stay in a slopeside condo.
With snow, I think that Sugarloaf, or "the loaf," could be an awesome place. They are currently working on an expansion that could make my head turn once they finish up with it. They have Phase I done, and that by itself is already very enticing

Ski Gloves: Which to Choose?
by Jessica B. February 3rd, 2012 | Skiing
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
