The response rate to SeniorsSkiing.com’s Spring Subscriber Survey 2016 is, frankly, astonishing. We’re at 29%, a number that reflects how engaged our readers are. Thank you so very much. Next week, we’ll start reporting the results, at least the big insights we see in the data. These fascinating and surprising results will help us steer how we manage our content and our relationships with our readers.
This week, we look at yet another indoor skiing facility, this one in the Toronto, ONT, area. There are many indoor ski areas around the globe, but most have man-made snow. This new one has “dryslope”, that is, faux snow. Very interesting development.
We report an update about the threat to free skiing for senior NH residents. There have been some developments on the positive side, but the final outcome is still up in the air.
Diana Nyad is a senior marathon swimmer who swam from Cuba to Key West at 64 years old. We discovered some words of advice and inspiration for all seniors. Let us know what you think.
Finally, what promises to be an ongoing feature on SeniorsSkiing.com is an account of a Wesleyan University course on Mountains and Art by professor Peter Mark. Professor Mark is an inspired teacher and outdoor enthusiast who combined his expertise to produce a unique view of mountains and their place in the history of art. His students have written essays on various topics that may become articles of interest for our readers. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, to our very engaged readers, remember: “There are more of us every day, and we aren’t going away.
