The season has started at Arapahoe Basin with a few open trails. A dump is expected in Colorado next week. 

There’ a terrific interview with Jackson Hogen, publisher of realskiers.com. He shares views about the impact of corporate vs. family-owned ski areas, growing old on skis, and the importance of older skiers to the sport.

Part 2 of the Shape Up series has a variety of exercises that will get you ready for the season.

And there’s a video on synchronized skiing in the Alps. Pure grace on snow.

There are more seniors skiing every season. If you like what we’re doing, please tell your friends and on FaceBook, “like” us and “share” our articles.

Thank you!

There is a way to keep skiing year round.  As we have seen, the urge to keep skiing has been explored in many different ways.  This time, Snobahn, a “state of the art” indoor ski facility is coming to the US with its first facility in Centennial Colorado.

Hey, if you are learning or yearning, it’s a place to get some vertical done.  Snobahn says 30-minutes on the continuously moving carpet gives you the equivalent of 20,000 vertical feet.  That’s a work out.

Plus, there’s a lounge, and the price is right: $40 per rental and instruction. And Bode Miller is an enthusiast.  Pretty interesting.  Check out the video. And thanks Teton Gravity Research for the story idea.
