Ski season will be upon us soon. I am making a concerted effort to get back on the slopes this season. I'd like to get out to Utah or Colorado (most likely Utah) as my wife has never been there. The powder is intense, the runs are loooong and the scenery is spectacular. Utah has the best skiing on the planet as far as I am concerned.
I don't own skis anymore. Why bother? The technology changes every year, so I'd rather rent skis in Utah than lug outdated skis on an airplane. I'd rather spend my dough on a nice new ski clothes. I hear Spyder clothing is the hot new brand out there, but I'm not much of a fool for fashion.
Christysports.com has a great selection of everything you'd need for skiing or snowboarding, plus they carry the aforementioned Spyder clothing. They also have mountainside locations at many resorts in Utah and Colorado. You can find out what you want to buy (or rent) and either get it shipped from their website or pick it up at the mountain! How cool is that?
Ski Stuff
Ski Utah
Utah has awesome skiing. Before I became a decrepit old bastard, I used to tear up the slopes in the winter. I've skied all over New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. I've also been to Vail and Utah.
Utah has the BEST skiing! Alta, Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon, Snowmass, Deer Valley, Park City; I skied them all back in the day. You can stay there for a week and ski a different mountain every day! The snow is deep, plentiful and FINE and the terrain is magnificent. All you need to do is grab some Park City lodging, bring a bunch of dough for lift tickets and GO! I can't imagine a better place for a winter ski vacation. Good digs are important when skiing and I always liked to be able to roll out of bed and hit the slopes. Lift side lodging in Park City is the way to go.
Ski Utah this winter!
