A chat with Maria Baker of Nobody’s Princess: Snow Pants Made By Women, For Women
(Photo: Maria Baker, Chief Pant Splitter) Who here has had a problem with snow pants? Yep, I see you over there. A better question would be who hasn’t had a problem with snow pants. There’s no doubt it’s hard to find a pair with the fit and features women want. But fear not, Ski Divas,……
Paid parking is coming to Mount Snow. And yes, the price is too damn high.
If you weren’t paying attention, here’s something that may have slipped by you last week: Vail Resorts announced that next season, 60% of Mount Snow’s parking capacity will be reserved for paid parking on weekends and holidays.

Epic, Ikon, Mountain Collective, Indy: What’s New for ’21/’22.
Getting a season pass used to be fairly simple. You’d decide which mountain you’d ski the most, hand over your credit card, and that was that. Easy peasy. But in the past few years, it’s become a lot more complicated. Ski resorts have banded together to offer joint passes that are good at multiple locations….…
Vail has slashed the price of its Epic Pass. So what does this really mean?

On resort closing dates.
Hard to believe, but here it is: The middle of March, and ski season is starting to wind down. The fact that we had a ski season this year is pretty remarkable. For a while it was touch and go. There were questions about whether or not resorts would be able to open and if……

I’m sure you’ve noticed the lift lines this year. I ski exclusively during the week, and even then it’s been crazy. There are some lifts I won’t even go near because the lines are just too long. The post Why are lift lines so long this year? appeared first on The Ski Diva.
What’s it like to ski with the COVID restrictions in place?
Wondering what it’s like to ski at your favorite mountain during the pandemic?

In fact, most, if not all, ski areas have their COVID policies clearly outlined on……
Goodbye, Paper Trail Maps.
Have you ever put your hand in the pocket of a ski jacket you haven’t worn for a while and pulled out an old trail map? There’s something satisfying about that, isn’t there? You’re immediately drawn back to a time and place — a day you spent skiing at XYZ resort, for example, when the……
Get ready for Halloween: There’s plenty of spooky stuff in ski country.
Halloween is almost here. And though it may seem like nothing could be farther from skiing, that’s not necessarily the case. Oh, sure, there’s a lot to be afraid of this year — resort closures due to the coronavirus, getting infected on the lift. And there are some pretty heart-stopping, knee-knocking lifts out there, too……
