This week, we are publishing the first in a series of Skiing In Literature with an excerpt from Hemingway’s The 
Snows of Kilimanjaro. It’s our way of celebrating the 80th anniversary of the story, first published in Esquire in 1936. We will have more Skiing In Literature articles coming up. If you have any sources of stories, poems, novels, please let us know.
Our recent Subscriber Survey has revealed what many senior skiers view snowshoeing as a second snow sport. Roger Lohr, publisher of XCSkiResorts.com, presents a number of Alpine ski areas that run snowshoeing programs, from strenuous to casual. Snowshoeing, by the way, is a great way to spend time on the snow with grandkids.
There’s a clever way to “hack” using hand warmers from our resident craftsperson, Sue Z, as reported by co-publisher Jon Weisberg. Jon also reports on the auctioning of Yellowstone National Park’s monster snow coaches. Imagine one of those in your driveway.
