Unfortunately, Covid continues to impact our lives…even on the hill. Jon’s Short Swings! column explores the different ways two neighboring Utah ski areas – Park City Mountain Resort and Alta – are handling Covid. He also describes the time he was banned from a ski area in the 1970s. Don’t miss the link to an informative critique of the trails constructed specifically for the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.
Skiing Weatherman, Herb Stevens, has another clear-headed report on what’s happening, weatherwise, throughout ski country.
In her debut piece for SeniorsSkiing, Cynthia F. Jones explains the joys of skiing after a 30-year absence and her contentment with staying on the greens. It’s a fun read.

A piece by Jon on managing flat light while skiing has been updated from when it first appeared several years ago in Huffington Post .

Seth Masia, editor of Skiing History Magazine, summarizes that publication’s most recent issue.

Free digital copies are available by clicking on the adjacent ISHA advertisement.
Finally, try guessing the name of the short-lived New England ski area pictured in Test Your Skiing Knowledge. No one correctly identified the ski instructor pictured in the last issue. Read about his interesting background. And the latest reader-submitted crop of ski-oriented license plates is shown in LUV2SKI.

How do I know when it’s time to renew my subscription? Maybe it’s now because I can’t seem to open an article.
Good morning Jack, sorry you are having issues. Which article are you having trouble opening? We no longer have subscriber-only content on the website, you should be able to read any article.
The subscription is to sign up for the email newsletter, which you should have received this morning. Contact me directly at aucuttdesign@icloud.com and tell me which article/articles you are having trouble with.
Thank you,
Scott Aucutt
Jack, I don’t think our subscriptions expire but I could be wrong. Like you I cannot open any stories or links. Hopefully someone from Sr. skiing is reading these and correct this
