Walking to save our snow.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — Anyone who loves to ski knows we'd be lost without our most essential element: Snow. And though... many of us are aware of the dangers of global warming, not many of us actually get out there and do something about it. That's not the case with Alison Gannett, a World Champion Extreme Freeskier ... (more) Walking to save our snow.

Let The Women Jump
— skidiva.blogspot.com — Way back in December, 2006 (wow, has this blog been around that long?), I posted about the... International Olympic Committee's refusal to include women's ski jumping in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Ski jumping is the only Olympic sport that doesn't allow women to compete. In fact, influential IOC ... (more) Let The Women Jump

So much for "best of" lists.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — Outside magazine just came out with its top 16 ski areas. SKI magazine lists its top 50... every year . And Skiing has its own top ten. Number one? For Outside, it's Alta. For SKI, Deer Valley. For Skiing, Whistler/Blackcomb. They're all great ski areas. But the fact that each magazine has a ... (more) So much for "best of" lists.

My quiver for the new season.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — I'm entering the new ski season filled with excitement. That's nothing unusual. I'm always excited for ski... season to begin. But I'm especially excited because I have two new pairs of skis this year : a pair of Volkl Auras and a pair of Tierras, also from Volkl. And I'm keeping my trusty old ...

You are not alone.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — One of the most common questions we get over at TheSkiDiva.com has to do with which ski... to buy. It's a good question. The type of ski you select, in my mind, is as personal as the type of jeans you wear or the toothpaste you like. Everyone has different preferences. What I like to ski on, you ...

K2 Race for the Cure
— skidiva.blogspot.com — If you're like me, you ski because it's fun, it's great exercise, and it's a wonderful way... to enjoy being outdoors in the winter. But now there's another reason: to help facilitate a cure for breast cancer. Because on December 12, K2 Skis is sponsoring the K2 Pink Chase , where teams of three ... (more) K2 Race for the Cure

Allow me to toot my own horn.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — Yep, it's an advance reader copy of my book, DOUBLE BLACK: A SKI DIVA MYSTERY, coming out... January 5 from Minotaur Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press.

Have you ever cat skied?

Have you ever cat skied?
— skidiva.blogspot.com — No, this has nothing to do with kitty cats on skis, with their whiskers blowing in the... wind and their tails streaming behind them. (Though I'm sure that would be a sight to see!) I'm referring instead to being transported up a mountain by a vehicle known as a "snow cat," then skiing down ... (more) Have you ever cat skied?

Great deals. No kidding.
— skidiva.blogspot.com — Getting the kids interested in skiing is a win-win situation. It gets them out into the fresh... air and involved in a sport they can enjoy throughout their lives, and it gives you an excuse to be out there, too ("But honey, the kids have to ski this weekend!"). To keep costs down, a ... (more) Great deals. No kidding.

To buy or not to buy?
— skidiva.blogspot.com — That, indeed, is the question. Last season I vowed I'd buy nothing. Nadda. Zip. No new ski... equipment at all. Yeah, right. Aside from skis, I bought all new everything: gloves, boots, poles, jackets (2 of these, actually), ski pants, base layers. You get the picture. It's really shameful. But ...

Thanks, Ted.

I'm sure you'll hear everything you need to know about this distinguished senator from the news media. But I wanted to pay special tribute to Kennedy here for two important reasons: First, Kennedy was ... (more) Thanks, Ted.
