    A Women’s Ski Clinic in Utah

    ByEileen Ogintz February 6, 2008July 5, 2021

    I’m nervous. The rest of the women in the room are excited and upbeat. We’ve gathered from around the country on this very snowy morning at The Canyons resort in Park City Utah to work on our skiing with former Olympian Holly Flanders and her hand-picked crew of women’s coaches.

    A Visit to Park City, Utah

    ByEileen Ogintz February 5, 2008July 14, 2021

    When families told Park City Mountain Resort they didn’t like such big ski school classes for their kids, the resort did something about it — besides suggesting parents pay mega pucks for private lessons.

    ByEileen Ogintz February 3, 2008July 14, 2021

    By Eileen OgintzTribune Media Services Old Faithful spews thousands of gallons of steaming water right on schedule, but Miguel isn’t the least bit interested. He…

    SNARING A WINTER DEAL

    ByEileen Ogintz January 27, 2008July 14, 2021

    You gotta hate that guy. The guy sitting next to you on the plane, at the pool or the chairlift who can’t stop bragging about the fantastic vacation deal he snared that saved his family big bucks.

    TO MONTANA FOR SOME FUN IN THE SNOW

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2008July 14, 2021

    Mary Blilie had been at Big Sky Resort in Montana for just one day but had already snapped more photos of her kids than she had in a long time. That’s because when Blilie, now a Minneapolis engineer, was a kid her family skied here every winter and now, after a 17-year hiatus, she was determined to create some of those same happy memories for her own two children

    DISNEY WORLD 101

    ByEileen Ogintz January 13, 2008July 14, 2021

    Your next-door neighbor insists he has the skinny on finding bargain lodging (you can find rooms, especially in winter for well under $100 a night). One friend says she wouldn’t leave home without “Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World 2007,” the official guide to Walt Disney World, while a co-worker says her bible is the “Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World.”

    A visit to Yellowstone at Christmastime

    ByEileen Ogintz January 9, 2008July 14, 2021

    Did you know Yellowstone has more thermal feature than anywhere in the world? And I’d rather visit in winter anytime. The last time we were here in the summer, there were so many people, the kids could barely see Old Faithful. Now we’re hiking in snowshoes around the geyser basin and there’s no one but us and Miguel.

    A foot of fresh snow — and dinner in a yurt

    ByEileen Ogintz January 8, 2008July 14, 2021

    Mother Nature, my daughter Mel says, delivered the best Christmas present of all — more than a foot of fresh snow. But unlike other ski resorts during a holiday week, there are no lift lines and no crowds. Where is everyone?

    A snow day — lots of powder and a move to Moonlight Basin

    ByEileen Ogintz January 7, 2008July 5, 2021

    The good news is that it’s snowing — dumping snow actually. The bad news is that it’s snowing — so hard that there’s hardly any visibility Even my die hard skiers don’t want to move from the cabin. They’re watching an ER marathon. When do we get to do that at home?
