Traveling as much as I do I have become accustomed to trying on ski boots and know how they are supposed to fit. It took me quite some time to realize how a boot was supposed to fit properly. For years I had always gone up a size in boot from what ever they started me at. I like a little bit of breathing room in my boot it made for better walking. However after the first day or two of skiing my shins were constantly in pain. My instructor informed me that my shins were hurting because my boots were too big. So the next day I went down a size and kept my boots strapped tight like my instructor said. I could not believe the difference it made. The smaller boot allowed me to have more control over my ski. Walking might not have been as great but I will take comfort on the mountain over comfort walking to and from the slopes. The best part of the whole thing was my shins did not hurt. I was finally able to ski the entire week I was there. Now when I rent boots I know what to look and feel for. All of this could have been avoided if I would have just simply listened to the first person that fit me for boots.

yesterday my mother was in town and we had the greatest day together. after renting skis using a delivery service we hit the slopes. beavercreek was our choice and there is something for everyone there. after a couple hours on the mountain we took a ride up to leadville. leadville is about 45 to 50 miles away from the vail area. the ride was beautiful and relaxing. leadville is a sleepy old west town which is located just below the continential divide. the mexican food there is incredible. we went to a place called casa blanca’s. i would suggest ordering the shrimp sopapia. if you are looking for something off the beaten path this is definitely the place to go.

If your renting skis this week at Beaver Creek make sure that if it has not snowed in a few days that you rent some skis made for the moguls or for the ice. The first trail I go to on Beaver Creek is Golden Eagle, always anxious to see if it has been groomed so I can make some nice long steep turns on the hill. In the past week I went over there twice and one time it was a mogul field from top to bottom, the other time it was a long sheet of ice. It is a tough choice to decide between a soft ski or a stiff ski in these types of conditions if you are looking to rent for the week. It seems that Beaver Creek likes to wait on grooming on a lot of their terrain making it very bumpy for the morning person looking to make some groomed runs.

It has been snowing here in Beaver Creek for a couple of days and the forcast looks like more snow will be arriving this week. This is a great time to rent a perfect powder ski from a Beaver Creek ski rental shop. Rossignol Voodoos and Phantom 80s are available at one of the Beaver Creek ski shops and are prime choices. They ride like a cadillac in the pow pow. They are made specifically for powder, while providing a smooth ride on groomed runs. Check them out online for more details. Come soon, while the snow is falling because it won’t last forever.

Riding the terrain parks at Beaver Creek can be an enjoyable experience for all levels of snowboards and skiers. The resort offers four unique levels of terrain. Park 101 is the easiest level an is a great place to learn freestyle tricks on small jumps,rails, and boxes. Zoom Room is the next level with slightly bigger jumps and more advance rails. The Rodeo Terrain Park is the most advanced with large size jumps and exterme rails. Caution this park is for advanced riders only. The last park is the Half Pipe. This area is also for advanced riders but if you are willing to try the half pipe, just make sure to use caution and respect around other riders. DT

these days things are a bit rough on the wallet. one way to save a bit is when skiing rather than eating at a place on the mountain, start packing a lunch. you can reserve a locker for a minimal amount and over a 3 or 4 day period the money can fly out the pocket if deciding to eat on the mountain. I know everybody need to make a buck and until vail start to decrease there prices i would highly suggest packing a lunch. also dine in rather than going out to a resturant. vail and beavercreek each have a safeway and a city market. a hundred dollars there can go a long way compared to taking a family of 4 to a fine dining restuarant. so good luck and bona petit

A ski trip can be hit or miss depending on the fit of your boot. If you go skiing and get a boot that is too big or too small for you your trip is going to be miserable. A boot that is too small can cause your feet to go numb and cause a very miserable time skiing. A boot that is too big will give you next to no control and can cause blisters and sheer discomfort. That is why it is so important to get a boot that fits you perfectly. A perfect fit consists of your touch just touching the end of the boot when your standing normal. Once you bend your knees in the skiing position they should shift back a little but not too much. Strapping the boots up depends on the skier and how tight or loose they might want their equipment. Having a comfortable boot can be the difference between an amazing vacation and a miserable time. Before you hit the slopes make sure your boot is the perfect fit to ensure a great time on the mountain.
