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

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

Stubaier Gletscher
by Bea June 10th, 2011 | Outdoor Activities, Skiing
If I had a bucket list, accomplishing what I did last weekend would be on it.
Not only have I seen the Alps, but I have officially gone skiing in them. Not only that, but I went skiing on a glacier in the summer! As you may have read from other posts about the Hintertuxer Glacier or Zermatt, I had been debating for a while about where I should go skiing in the summer. My major issues were cost and transportation. The Stubai Glacier was a great middle ground that solved my problems.

Lift-service Skiing Season Over in the East
by Bea May 13th, 2011 | Hiking, Outdoor Activities, Skiing, Winter Activities
I have to hand it to Sugarloaf, they are the King of Spring.
With their last weekend of the season being this past one, they’ve finally taken the sad step and pulled down the ropes on Monday, May 9th to finish up the season. While most resorts have already been promoting their golf and mountain biking courses, Sugarloaf has still been pushing the diehards to come out for one last run.
However, that doesn’t mean that the skiing season is over on the East Coast. It just means that the lift-operated season is over. Yup, it’s time to put your hiking
