Many wonderful things have been happening in the mountains lately. The series of storms mentioned in last week’s newsletter ended up pummeling the resorts in the West. Week-long snow totals were reported in the triple digits in some places in Tahoe and Mammoth and close to that in areas of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. Locals and visitors alike were granted full days of skiing and riding in blower, over-the-head snow and their whooping sounds of bliss could be heard miles away.

As the snow continues to pile up, the world is watching the Rocky Mountains. In addition to Robert Redford’s famous Sundance Film Festival happening this week in Park City, the top skiing and riding athletes are descending upon Aspen for the 14th year of ESPN’s Winter X Games.
