Morning PBR's on the Lift

My wife and I dropped my daughter off for her hour lesson at Mount Snow just before 11 am on Saturday and immediately hopped on the lift. For some reason we had lost our travel companion, Steve, who was decked out in a bright yellow and pink one piece from Tipsy Elves and was probably off having a conversation with yet another person who had stopped him to inquire about the cost, the technical features or just snap a photo with him. It was insane to think that 'one' article of clothing could create such a stir, but yet it...

Top 10 Après ski Bars in the West

Molly Green's - Picture Credit: Jon Cracroft www.joncracroft.com If you've read my blog, you know that skiing is social sport. It's about being out on the slopes with friends and/or family and then sharing those experiences at après ski. That's why the French coined the phrase all those years ago. Après skis about raising a glass and toasting a day of endless turns while recounting those very runs with the group that you are rolling with. That's why there is a bar located on or near every mountain ready to serve up frosty beverages to help you remember every last detail from...

TGR Goes Big for Their 21st Birthday

Everyone remembers their 21st birthday. Or, do they? Usually defined by excessive partying and a ton of booze 21st birthdays have a tendency to go big to the point of amnesia. For Teton Gravity Research (TGR) going big has never been an issue for them. Known for their epic lines and crazy stunts, TGR has pushed the boundaries of backcountry skiing for 21 years. So on their 21st birthday, it is no surprise that their newest film, Tight Loose, redefines big even by TGR's standards and with an anthology of clips from their early days, ensures you will remember. I realize...

Top 10 Après Ski Songs

Do a search online for top après ski songs and you'll mostly find European songs rooted in an après ski tradition that dates back over 100 years. This is far from a surprising revelation, and when I interviewed the great Eric Pollard this past summer, he spoke to the significance of these songs and how après ski in Austria is a unique and amazing experience. Hopefully one day I will be fortunate enough to take part in that, but for now I am enjoying our own American après ski music at the ski resorts in the U.S. Sure, our music may not be...

Food, Fun and First Tracks

Eager for First Tracks of the Ski Season To say that I was eager for my first ski trip of the winter would be the understatement of the year. I had my gear out and organized on Sunday and by Wednesday I was packed and ready to go. One problem...I wasn't leaving until Friday. What can I say, I was excited. With every passing hour on Friday, I could not wait to hop into the car and begin my drive up to Vermont. My wife knew not to hesitate when the work day ended, because doing so would get her left...
