I just moved across the country to attend the University of Utah and pursue Chemical Engineering. Utah is amazing and I’m already loving my decision to come out here for college and the skiing. My question is, is there any way to interlink my passion for skiing and ChemE? Is there any part of...

Been progressing my park skiing and steamboat has no tramps, airbags, foam pits, anything. And finding housing up here is an absolute nightmare. Been looking and found many places in frisco, copper, keystone area. I know copper has a world class park with world class off mountain training. Was...

As the summer sun casts its (scarily) warm glow on the Swiss Alps, riders from across Europe are once again flocking to Snowpark Zermatt. After a prolonged closure last summer, the park has made a triumphant return, and I saw no choice but to make my regular summer pilgrimage to check it out...

I love skiing. Ultimately, that is why I do what I do. However, it is easy to become jaded and to forget. I watch skiing pretty much constantly, year-round. Skiing has become work and I've had a bunch of injury issues. When I'm sitting at home with free time, I'll watch snowboarding...
