Today we went to Eldora. We took skiing lessons. We learned how to stop and turn on the ski slopes. I got tired and went inside.

Today we went skiing again. This time we went on the carrot lift and went with my teacher. I went all the way down by myself! I like my ski teachers. I like skiing a lot! We learned the pizza stop, duck steps up the hill, and banana gorilla going sideways up the hill.
There you have the first account of my skiing career. Who knew that the journal entries from my Thanksgiving vacation in

Volkl RTM
by Bea September 27th, 2011 | Skiing
For those of you who were looking to purchase something within the Volkl AC series, now would be the time to do it. Actually, last May would have been the best time to do it, but I am sure there is still something out there for you. You will not find anything for the 2011-2012 season, but you may be pleasantly surprised by the prices. I have a feeling that you will be able to score some ACs that have never been touched that range between $500 and $700. Talk about a steal!
Don't worry, ACs are still dubbed a

Ski and Surf
by Bea August 30th, 2011 | Skiing
How would you like to go surfing in the morning and skiing in the afternoon? That would be great right?

Did you know that there are places in the world where you can do both?

Skiing in July
by Bea August 5th, 2011 | Skiing
Yes, I got to ski in June in the Alps, but I recently saw pictures that made me jealous of my friends. You know what they got to do? They went skiing on the Fourth of July! To top it off, they were in the States.
Some of my friends were crazy enough to go out west. Others actually managed to find some stuff to ski and snowboard on in Mount Washington near Tuxermans Ravine. They have pictures of themselves on the Lunch Rocks, so apparently there was snow right in Tux itself. Pretty cool, huh? I knew that the

More on Glacier Skiing
by Bea July 8th, 2011 | Skiing
Glacier skiing is a whole other form of skiing. To be honest, it is not my style, because it is above the tree lines; therefore, I cannot get my fix of back country skiing in. I am not much of a open trail type of skier, but to be able to experience glacier skiing at least in once was the opportunity of a lifetime.
There are a few ways to approach glacier skiing. Some people use it as a vacation; they get some turns in the morning, sun bathe in the afternoon, and then commence the après ski fun. Due
