Since my last posting, I have only managed a couple of days on snow. One at Sugarloaf after an 8 inch overnight and then a brisk day at Killington earlier this…

Branching Out: Skiing the Trees

Can’t We Stop the Fast & Dangerous Skiers/Riders?
In the past couple days many of you have read about two skiing tragedies: one affected multiple lives (a 5-yr old girl who was killed by an out-of-control skier), and the family she leaves behind, plus the alleged “killer,” a 40-yr old skier who…

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH CCSAA
I recently was part of a conference call of U.S. and Canadian cross country ski area operators. The conversation touched on who our guests are, their wants and their needs; whether we’re in a growing business (short and joyful answer: yes!); and what…

Don Burch’s Fun Times (at Mount Snow, Okemo & Stratton)
