• It Doesn't Matter If You're "Good" at Skiing

  11-03-2025 21:04 via powder.com
  
  "The best resort skiing I've done in 20 years," was the claim my step-dad laid after ripping his way around Mt. Bachelor, Oregon this past Friday. It was a bold claim, even for the most epic of powder days, but particularly given the context of the conditions and his extensive ski experience. As a kid, many of my weekends were spent putzing down Cramer and Village Way at Winter Park behind my parents on their tele skis, my older brothers off in the terrain park with their friends.

  11-03-2025 18:40 via nyskiblog.com
  Now that spring seems to have arrived, it is safe to say that this will be one of the best of my dozen years skiing Whiteface. Going into the season it seemed like management had planned to open the summit as early as possible.

  Powder aims to feature only the best products and services.If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.At an old job, I had a boss who let’s just say had a certain way about them. From regaling us with how many Outdoor Retailer tradeshows they had attended to bragging about who they’d rubbed shoulders with along the way, they seemed to have the need to be viewed as a paragon to us subordinates, in work and otherwise.

  A new film on the greatest discipline of skiing to exist has been released, and no, I'm not talking about Skijoring. What is the greatest discipline of skiing, you ask? Consider this: a young Izzy grew up enthralled by life's two most graceful pursuits— ballet and skiing.
