    Learning local history adds to vacation memories

    ByEileen Ogintz March 30, 2012July 16, 2021

    Since we’re here on a girl’s getaway, we find it amusing that at the height of the mining boom in the 1900 census, there were 22 seamstresses in Park City but only two sewing machines.

    A club dedicated to getting moms back on the slopes

    ByEileen Ogintz March 29, 2012July 16, 2021

    Welcome to Park City Mountain Resort’s new Ladies’ Club, offered certain days of the week. Women who hadn’t skied in a while, said Martell, “didn’t want a high powered clinic. They just wanted an opportunity to get back on the mountain in a non-threatening way.”

    Touring the old city of Dubrovnik, Croatia

    ByEileen Ogintz March 29, 2012June 28, 2023

    The city’s medieval walls helped protect the city and there was tremendous international publicity decrying the bombing of this historic city and in favor of granting Croatia diplomatic recognition.

    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!

    ByEileen Ogintz March 22, 2012July 16, 2021

    Not just any giant Buddha but the Tian Tan Buddha, the world’s largest outdoor sitting Buddha — some 98 feet tall and weighing 250 tons, his humongous right hand raised to deliver a blessing to all.

    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.)
