We almost didn’t notice that we weren’t skiing, that’s how much fun we had on a recent outing to the Utah Olympic Park with some friends visiting from out-of-town. Our plan had been to spend the day with our guests skiing at Deer Valley Resort in the sunshine. Perfect spring conditions were on the docket,

My friend Ron Palmer-Leger recently celebrated his 25th anniversary as a member of Deer Valley Resort Ski Patrol,  at the resort’s annual “Years of Service” dinner for employees. He’s also a captain with the Park City Fire Department, as well as an accomplished cyclist and cross-country skier. The Albuquerque, NM, native first visited Park City

  This week, my boys will have their last session of Children’s Sunday Ski Experience. A lot of my friends, particularly those from out of town, are surprised that Lance, 12, and Seth, 8, still take ski lessons as they are advanced skiers, who frequent bumps and tree runs. Our family time seems increasingly precious, as their schedules

World Cup Weekend knocked it out of the park. The weather was perfect—not too warm, not too cold, the mood was fun and the skiing was fantastic. It was good enough to counter my sports-mom stress levels of seeing my little ski jumper, Seth, through X-rays, ice and elevation after a bad fall during training

So, if last year’s experience taught me that it’s OK not to ski during Sundance, this year I proved that the Sundance Film Festival + skiing = Awesome.  Anyone familiar with Common Core math knows it’s true.

You guys, I am geeking out. Big time. I spent part of Sunday afternoon hanging with the folks who make this weekend’s 2016 FIS World Cup Freestyle Event. While I was taking some solo ski laps off of Carpenter Express chairlift, I spotted a group of people in World Cup FIS Freestyle jackets. I skied

Spending a family reunion on skis is one of the most fun excuses I can think of for getting the gang together. And while my cousins like to travel around to other canyons while they’re here, our family ski days are centered at Deer Valley. Well, as “centered” as our brand of multi-generational mayhem can

I’m still warm from the memory of the Torchlight Parade. Which is funny, considering it’s a stand-outside-in-winter-temps activity. Still, it doesn’t matter how many times we go; the experience of closing out the year by braving the cold to take in the lights and torches on the hill and the incredible gift of the formation

Everything you need to know about having a great ski day, you can learn at the Deer Valley Resort Celebrity Skifest. Here’s what I found out when I chatted with some of the competitors in Deer Valley’s annual opening weekend event to benefit the Waterkeeper Alliance. Remember to smile. Sometimes, the stress of pulling together

In my life as an avid skier and a journalist, my worlds collide in funny ways. The Sundance Film Festival—which brings a huge contingent of my professional community to my front door—is a great example of this. Last year, for instance, an interview with a favorite actor proved to me that not skiing can be a win.
