Focus on an Independent: Middlebury Snowbowl

Who here has an EPIC Pass? How about an IKON? Come on, don’t be shy, raise your hand! Okay, you know I can’t see you, right?  Put your hand down.  Nonetheless, I’m sure that many of you would’ve raised your hands, if we were meeting face to face. After all, Vail sold around 2.4 million… The post Focus on an Independent: Middlebury Snowbowl appeared first on The Ski Diva.

Sara Robbins believes in equality for women skiers. That’s why she’s producing a new ski film, “Advice for Girls.”

(Photo:Addy Jacobsend, taken by Bianca Germain) It’s no secret that skiing is a male-dominated sport. Plenty of men (not all, of course) think women are somehow less capable; that they’re less serious, less driven, and certainly less accomplished. Women can’t possibly know as much as men about gear and technique. And hey, they’re probably in… The post Sara Robbins believes in equality for women skiers.

A chat with Hooey Wilks, ski artist.

Have you ever been to Hooey Mountain? No, it’s not a mountain owned by Vail or Alterra. Heck, it’s not a real mountain, at all. Instead, it’s the internet home of Hooey Wilks, an avid skier and talented artist from a very real place called Connecticut. Hooey’s passion for skiing is what inspired her to… The post A chat with Hooey Wilks, ski artist. appeared first on The Ski Diva.

Get ready for Halloween: There’s plenty of spooky stuff in ski country.

Halloween is almost here. And though it may seem like nothing could be farther from skiing, that’s not necessarily the case. There are some pretty heart-stopping, knee-knocking lifts out there (see my post about Eleven of the World’s Scariest Ski Lifts).  And a lot of skiing can scare the crap out of you. But believe… The post Get ready for Halloween: There’s plenty of spooky stuff in ski country. appeared first on The Ski Diva.
