Sometimes, old and abandoned ski areas can have a second life.

The Passing of a Legend

in
Warren Miller

For many, many years the unofficial kick-off to each ski season has been watching a ski movie at a local theater. For nine years I worked as a promoter, bringing a new ski movie to a local theater trying to fire up some excitement each fall. That tradition began with Warren Miller, the inventor of the action ski movie and perhaps the creator of the action sports movie genre. For bringing years of snowy fun and amazement all I can say is ...

Thanks, Warren.

“If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do.”

The Blue Bus Is Callin' Us

in
Blue Bus - RTD Mountain Trail

For many years 'mass transit' to our local ski area consisted of thumbing a ride at the 'Hitching Post' at the bottom of the road up the mountain. While effective (if hard to schedule) for one or two people, it didn't work for groups heading up. For the past few months there has been another option called 'The Blue Bus'. Early reports were dubious, but ridership has been building and the Mountain Trail Blue Bus looks like a success.

Leave it in the Ground

“That coal has to stay in the ground. You can’t make the math of climate change work if you get the huge coal deposits of the Powder River Basin out and pour them into the atmosphere.”

Winter Sports in Italy - Franz Lenhart - ski poster

I don't envy their equipment (low leather boots and scary bindings), but I do envy their style. I've loved old travel posters for years and just came across this auction catalog of vintage tourism and ski posters. While some of these are well out of my price range, a few are temptingly affordable and unsold. Browsing the posters is a pleasantly nostalgic way to spend a sunny Friday afternoon.
