Hi,

My best ski holiday was in Steamboat Springs, Colorado where I discovered Nordic Ski Jump.  I am only 128cm tall and my skis were 180cm, even taller than Dad! They go really fast as there are no edges, so the only way to stop was to get to the flat bit.  You had to turn them upside down when they weren’t on, otherwise they would slide away down the hill.  It was really scary at first, but after a while it was great!

Aspen/Snowmass has received more than 25 feet of snow this season and the spring skiing and riding is fantastic. Aspen Highlands will open for two bonus weekends – April 18-19 and 25-26 – with more than 100 inches still on the ground in Highland Bowl. 

Thanks to Jeremy Swanson for this amazing image.

Steam recieved 62″ of Champagne Powder® in 7 days…..it’s not too late to get some amazing spring skiing in Colorado.
