Aspen guy claims Snowshoe’s doomed

Posted on February 17, 2009 by Hawes Spencer

March 2008 issue of Ski Area Management

Snowshoe is doomed by climate change, according to the enviro director of Aspen Skiing Company, Auden Schendler. His blunt prediction: “Snowshoe— gone,” came in the March 2008 edition of Ski Area Management magazine. There, he also predicted that Stowe would get “more rain than snow,” that Park City will be in “worse shape” than Aspen due to its lower elevation, and that skiing in Europe’s lower elevations will be “gone.” He gives no timetable in the interview, but asks rhetorically, “How many more years like the last four [2004-07] could the East Coast take before it says this isn’t a viable business?” Of course, Schendler is such a doom-and-gloomer that he also predicts that “the economic impact of climate change will kill skiing long before lack of snow does.”

Will boarding fly at Taos?

Posted on February 15, 2009 by Hawes Spencer

map I’m still not exactly clear how snowboarders are dealing with the fact that Taos Ski Valley, one of my favorite places and one that only opened its slopes to boarding in March 2008, are dealing with the long runouts that conclude pretty much all runs at the New Mexico resort.

Inauguration comes to Snowshoe

Posted on February 15, 2009 by Hawes Spencer

snowshoe-obama-medFor some folks, Tuesday, January 20 was drive-home day after the three-day, Martin Luther King Day weekend. But for the lucky few who didn’t need to hit the road that day, it was a time to take a break from skiing and boarding and watch history being made. For the folks gathered in the Foxfire Grill in the Village, all TVs were tuned to the historic inauguration of incoming president Barack Obama.

Should Vail photog have been fired?

Posted on February 14, 2009 by Hawes Spencer

vail-chairlift-photo Should the on-slope photographer working for Vail one January day have really been fired for shooting this photo of a bizarre chairlift incident?

What happened was that the seat was left in the upright position, and the snowboarder, a a dad riding with his child in Vail’s Blue Sky Basin, slipped through the— err— crack.

Could this have happened on a Snowshoe chair?

Why I created this website

How snowy Snowshoe was before Thanksgiving!

I have been enjoying Snowshoe since the late 1970s when it had a round restaurant and no village. There’s just no other place with such excellent skiing and such chilly weather this side of Vermont.

In 1995, something exciting happened. A big resort company called Intrawest bought Snowshoe and began redeveloping Snowshoe. Chief among its innovations was the Village. By the year 2000, when I purchased a condo in the Highland House building, the Village was really taking shape. Since then, with the addition of Allegheny Springs, Expedition Station, and the Seneca, the Village has helped to transform the Snowshoe experience.

This is now a vibrant and exciting place to visit, and while future challenges surely lie ahead, Snowshoe has become a great place to visit for skiing— and for other things.

To help people learn about all the great things that Snowshoe offers and to strive to improve Snowshoe are the two biggest reasons I created this site. Thanks for visiting!

Subaru Master the Mountain

What the heck is Subaru’s Master the Mountain? Besides serving as a promotion for a well-known car company, it’s a chance to take some turns with some mountain experts, including checking out the new South Mountain trails— like that sweet and steep new glade— and you can even check out the new mid-station on the Cupp Run quad.
