Ski Season is NOT over!
2008-04-12 04:45:00
Ski season is NOT over in Colorado. As I was driving home this evening, the news reported on the radio that there was terrible weather in Frisco at I70. I'm sorry for those who may not be comfortable driving in this weather, but for the rest of us who are still skiing, this is great news! There's been a ton of snow dumped in the past few days including today. Hopefully it continues through

Spring Break Skiing
2008-03-20 23:18:00
Spring break skiing is a popular event in Colorado. Ski safely. I was at Arapahoe Basin a few weeks ago and overheard a loud speaking skier who was bragging to his friends about how drunk he was. It was 9:00am. Now...keep in mind...if you want to be wasted by 9:00am, ok and I guess good for you. But...if you are wasted by 9:00am, I don't recommend taking runs. Just chill out in the lot. It's safer for you and the rest of us. Gosh, I don't mean to sound old, but really, if you're really wasted you shouldn't ski. http://rippinskiers.com rippinskiers@earthlink.net

Snowing again in Colorado
2008-02-22 01:58:00
This morning, Channel 9 along with all other television news stations in Colorado reported another snowfall in Colorado. They called for 6-12 inches in the southwestern mountains of Colorado. These are knows as the Sangre de Cristo's. I found it amusing that their tone, all of them, portrayed the snowfall as 6-12 being normal. I heard it it as though someone would say, hey...we're getting an inch or two. That was the tone. However, it's really 6-12 that may fall. There has been just so much snowfall this year that 6-12 is the new 1-2 inches. To me, this is hysterical and AWESOME. Keep on snowing!!!http://rippinskiers.com rippinskiers@earthlink.net

Powder Shot to the Face
2008-02-12 22:47:00
Have you ever had one of these? A powder shot to the face? If you have, you know the feeling. It's tremendously rewarding. On Saturday, I stood in a crowd of 50 plus people with my tallest Rippin Skier and hiked to the top of the ridge in Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin. Once we cleared the first fence, we quickly clicked into our skis and dropped in the bowl. I can tell you it was one of the scarier times with 50 plus crazy skiers and snowboarders going as fast as they can to get a fresh line of DEEP POW. I traversed and nearly got nailed twice so I quickly made a hard left and bombed down. I had a great line and was making killer turns. With each turn, I felt the powder nailing my face more and more. It's truly a fantastic feeling. I was in my element and was increasing speed. I was knee deep. I found myself going quite fast and floating through the deep fresh powder. As I reached the lift, I realized that this is why I am still living here in Colorado. The love for skiing only...

How the Weather Affects Your Day
2008-01-31 00:57:00
The weather today in Denver Colorado was sunny, warm and beautiful with some wind. Although, the weather in the Colorado Rockies was much better. Breckenridge ski resort reported nine inches of snow today. It is weather reports or ski reports like these that make me have a rough day. So for me, the weather report showing a nice snowfall dump truly makes me a bit sad that I am not skiing in the freshies! On another note, last week I skied with old family friends. They are all Rippin Skiers. The most mature of the group was sporting a new black pin stripe outfit. It was a bit baggy, yet fit him great. Having the new, baggy outfit with a lot of pockets is definitely the way to go. Proper gear is an important influence in making your skiing enjoyable. This Rippin Skier proved to not only be comfortable in his new pimp'd out gear, but he seemed to be skiing better than I've ever seen him ski! I quote my father who has always jokingly proclaimed, "It's not how you play, it...

Ski
2008-01-22 05:44:00
Are you planning to ski at a ski area on your ski vacation this year? If so, I recommend a Colorado ski resort. When you plan your ski trip, leave your ski boots and skis at home and just rent from the ski shop. Breckenridge ski resort is very popular. Just remember, don’t forget to bring your ski jacket, ski pants, and ski goggles with you. Actually, you should not forget any of your ski clothing including your ski mask. The Colorado ski report showed a very cold weather report during the past few weeks. Last Saturday was so cold, I was told I had frostbite starting on my nose. I had a white ring on the tip of my nose. With the windchill, the temperature was well below zero. I went into the ski lodge to warm up. I was freezing.The real question, is it worth it? Absolutely Yes!!! Arapahoe Basin has opened up new terrain called the Montezuma Bowl. This is absolutely amazing. I was fortunate enough to have skied this newly opened terrain the second day it was open. I skied only one ...

Excellent Conditions
2008-01-08 00:00:00
Ski conditions are amazing in Colorado. I had the opportunity to ski with a Rippin Skier on Sunday. It was our first POW POW day together and he rocked. He, the Nebraskan, achieved some serious lift off - aka AMPLITUDE. The day was so good I even jumped off a big rock. The landing was nice and soft! It just started snowing in Denver. It's been snowing in the mountains for days. This year is just simply fantastic.http://rippinskiers.com rippinskiers@earthlink.net

Driving on Loveland Pass
2007-12-16 18:46:00
Yesterday's weather maps did not show snow for Arapahoe Basin. However, the temperature was COLD. My thermometer read -7 degrees on Loveland Pass . Due to the high winds, the past three weeks of snow, and sub zero temperatures, the road in many spots was snow and ice packed. This type of driving calls for speeds less than the posted limit. Yesterday I noticed multiple drivers passing on the Loveland Pass. When they passed me, I was extremely nervous, as in scared for my life! So am I being a bit dramatic - I don't think so. If you are on a straight-away, go for it safely, but if you are on one of the tight curves at the top of the pass, and you really can't see that far ahead in the snow packed conditions, DO NOT PASS. You are going to arrive at your destination a bit faster, sure. But, can you really deal with the consequences of what can happen if it all goes wrong? I was behind a very slow driver yesterday. Rather than passing, I tried to keep a safe distance so he wou...
