At my high school, there was multiple study abroad programs, many that my friends attended! I should’ve taken advantage of the travel programs, but I chose to live vicariously through my friends. A really good friend of mine who was on my volleyball team studied German, thus sparked her desire to study in Germany! She […]

Whistler Blackcomb
For this week’s blog, we are going to head back up north to Canada and talk about Vail’s ski offerings. As I have spent the last however many weeks inside, I would kill for any type of outdoor experience, whether it be warm or cold. So, while I have sat inside with nothing to do, […]
Trouble in the Glades
For this week’s blog, I wanted to tell a ski story, instead of introducing a new ski mountain. This story will bring us back to one of my first blogs about Jay Peak in Vermont. Last spring break, my sister, dad, and I went to Jay Peak and Canada for a fun trip. As I […]
Skiing in the Summer
Have you ever wanted to ski in the summer? Well, you can in Chile! The best months of the ski season are mid-June to late October! Literally the opposite of our summer in the states… which some of you may prefer. But for me, I would much prefer to be in the snow covered mountains […]
European Terrain
For this week’s passion blog, I want to show my appreciation for European mountains. Skiing in Europe will forever be a bucket list item of mine, as the mountains, snowfall, and views are a skiers paradise. My dad’s best friend, Yvon, is an experienced skier who we spend a lot of our winters with. He […]
Kirkwood California
https://www.kirkwood.com/#main_nav__dropdown__2A dream of mine, not only for skiing, but for life in general, is to go out west. California, Colorado, Utah, you name it. All of these locations are none for their natural beauty, and with that, comes mountains (perfect for skiing). For this passion blog, I want to focus on one specific resort, Kirkwood […]
Gunstock Mountain
For this week’s blog, I thought I could talk about the very mountain where my dad had taught me how to ski: GunStock Mountain Resort in Gilford, NH. Being only an hour away from my house, Gunstock was an easy trip for a young family. My dad and mom would take my older sister and […]
The Big Three of Banff
Unfortunately and somewhat sadly, I have only ever skied in New England. Don’t get me wrong, I love New England, and I love skiing. But, the mountains and snow fall don’t compare to the conditions out west. A dream of mine is to ski at Banff National Park in Canada. With three major mountains; Banff […]
Sunday River
Sunday River has to be a close second to Jay Peak for North East skiing. With eight peaks and 135 trails, the terrain is very vast and holds a lot of promise. Located in the middle nowhere Maine, it’s definitely a location for only ski lovers, as there isn’t much else to do. But, as […]
Jay Peak
Winter may not be for everyone, but in my family, winter is the best season of the year. With the snow that most people have come to hate, comes skiing that I have learned to love. Growing up in New Hampshire, skiing has always been a staple in my family fun. When my dad, sister, […]
