    Meet Holly Flanders – and make time for yourself on the slopes

    ByEileen Ogintz March 26, 2012July 16, 2021

    Flanders teaches women’s ski workshops at Canyons—I thoroughly enjoyed one a few years ago—but now has a new mission—to convince women they need to make that time, no matter what else is going on in their lives.

    Remembering a great adventure in the high Chilean desert

    ByEileen Ogintz March 25, 2012July 16, 2021

    It’s only 10 a.m. but I feel like we’ve been going all day. That’s because we left our hotel Tierra Atacama before dawn—I’d never seen such bright stars across the desert sky—on our way to the highest geyser field in the world—El Tatio Geisers at 14,190 feet!

    Getting out of your comfort zone is a good thing – just ask the kids

    ByEileen Ogintz March 19, 2012July 5, 2021

    It’s no secret that the snowsports industry wants to encourage more minorities to hit the slopes. But that’s not easy with lift tickets costing over $90 at many places, not to mention all the gear that’s needed. (Even long underwear and the right socks can be expensive.)

    When we suggest stopping for some soup, Mel sees her opening to leave us. “I have a PB&J in my pocket,” she says, “I want to keep skiing!” …So much for family time.

    Timeout for some spa time in Beaver Creek, CO

    ByEileen Ogintz March 13, 2012July 16, 2021

    Family ski trips can be a lot of work, especially for moms-all the schlepping, all the shopping for groceries and cooking. Certainly moms deserve some “me” time on ski trips and there’s no better place than a spa like this to enjoy that.
