Resort Reviews, Remembering Stein.
As part of our new SeniorsSkiing Guides, we have two new resort reviews to check out. These reviews are designed to focus on aspects of different ski areas—Alpine and Nordic—that are “senior-friendly.” New contributor Jan Brunvand tells us about Powder Mountain, north of Salt Lake City, the second largest ski area in North America. (Bet you didn’t know that.) He shares the incredible bargain “PowMow” has for certain seniors.
XCSkiResorts.com publisher Roger Lohr offers his advice to seniors on Alpine and Nordic skiing Bretton Woods in the shadow of Mount Washington, NH. He even gives you some starter-kit routes to follow, a helpful guide for newbie visitors.
Finally, Co-Publisher Jon Weisberg remembers his personal encounters with Stein Eriksen, the ski legend who passed away this week.
Previewing Next Week’s Issue
Coming up next week expect to see our Sierra Roundup about what’s happening in the snow-laden West, thoughts about ski instruction for seniors and more product reviews. We’ll post our highly interesting poll results about Ski Patrollers lifting lift tickets. Have you participated in our poll yet?
We welcome your article ideas and comments; let’s hear from you!
Also, we are launching our Second Subscriber Survey soon. Look for it in your email and please help us by responding.
Tell Your Friends
Finally, tell your friends about SeniorsSkiing.com; send them a link and let them see for themselves what we trying to do. We are a grass-roots effort, a group of snow sport enthusiasts with an awesome team of correspondents and contributors who see a need to give seniors a voice in a youth-focused industry. Our mission is to raise the profile of seniors who love snow sports, sharing news and ideas for “senior-friendliness” to all. As one of the members of our Advisory Board said, “There are more of us every day, and we are not going away.”
