A ski lives an interesting life.

A slave to the foot, yet exists completely free.

Slipping, sliding, carving and free falling is just another day (a very good day).

At first glance it is a simple thing; wood, plastic and metal, glued and squished together.

But upon closer inspection, the complexities of emotions, feelings and thoughts that a ski summons from ones inner self, allows it to transcend physical materials into something much, much more.

We’re just days away from one of our biggest family weekends of the year, and we know a lot of you are curious what’s been happening in our terrain parks.

For now, the “Big Easy” park on Easy Street is on hold.

We’ve been focusing our efforts on creating new features for our visitors to try in the Rodeo park.

But if you’re not a super-advanced rider, don’t worry, we’ve got four really great ‘introductory’ features in the Bear park to warm up on.

I’ve really got to hand it to our grooming crews this week.

Aside from a skiff here and a trace there, it’s been nine days since we’ve had fresh snow.

But you would never know it from the slope conditions.

Through some stroke of genius, luck or magic, our groomed runs are in amazing shape. Not just better-than-you’d expect shape, but actually super-smooth and REALLY carvable.

Our annual ‘Girlfriend Getaway’ weekend sparkled brighter than ever this year.

We’ve been enjoying the fantastic slope conditions and sunshine all weekend long.

Not only did we see an extra large collection of smiling faces, but our Diva Day visitors always seem to up the ante when it comes to style, too.

Some things never get old. You simply can’t beat excellent snow conditions served up under the sunshine.

That’s exactly what we had today and it was FANTASTIC.

The groomed runs are smooth and buttery. The edges of my skis just melted right in with every turn.

I think the imagery speaks for itself.  Hope you can join us soon to get some for yourself.

Sure, I was a little disappointed when I woke up to see 8″ in the snow box instead of the 10-14″ some forecasters had predicted yesterday.

But then I paused for a moment, and said to myself, “Hey! There’s EIGHT INCHES IN THE SNOW BOX!”

It looked pretty fluffy and I knew we’d racked up five inches yesterday afternoon, so I had an inkling today would be one of those days. (more…)

Today we enjoyed both fantastic slope conditions AND a break in the weather.

Stormy skies have delivered more than a foot of fresh snow since Thursday.

That snow, coupled with dropping temperatures, created some top-notch slope conditions today.

The first three 1/2 weeks of 2013 were marked by a long-lasting high pressure system. But that didn’t stop our local band of filmmakers from sniffing out some sick turns. Check out the latest edit from the Idahomiez…

It’s been snowing nearly non-stop since Wednesday night and we’ve had over a foot of snow fall on most of the mountain.

It’s not the fluffiest snow we’ve ever received, but after a long, dry spell; we are relishing its abundance. (more…)
