When I was older, one of my friends used to invite me pretty much every year to her family ski trip in Vermont or Maine, and it was so much fun. So I have been an avid ski for a long time, and now I go to school at the University of Vermont, so skiing is such a priority for everyone
But my boyfriend just went over winter break to Colorado and he did skiing with his family. He told me about how amazing it is. And I have been watching the Winter Olympics a little bit, and I have been watching it and I've just been like, wow, this is amazing. I wish I have had the opportunity to learn this and someday I really wish, too
Hi, Kris. I am from Colorado and I've skied Veil many, many times. And I can say that it's a great mountain and I love it. It's definitely for skiers that yeah, don't necessarily seek out moguls. I guess there's a lot of flats, but definitely the backbones are super awesome, too. I skied pretty much everywhere around Colorado. Love Winter Park, love Copper, Beaver Creek

It's been Alta in Salt Lake City or just outside in a couple of places in Canada that I loved. Whistler was great, but Banff in Alberta, just west of Calgary. That place was just absolutely beautiful. Absolutely loved it. But if you haven't been to Salt Lake City and Park City, skiing powdery just about every day, I would highly recommend it. Just a fantastic place to ski, easy to get it in and out of. Great place

So it's really good that it helps me kind of organize my schedule and really just gets me motivated. And I've also been loving the Winter Olympics right now, seeing all pike, the skiing and everything. Everyone is just amazing. The snowboarders. I love it. It's just pike. So cool to see people that talented

I'm so jealous. I want to ski in Colorado so bad and just out west. And that's pike. Good to hear about the moguls aspect. Because I went skiing the other day because we got so much snow and end I went later in the day, the entire mountain was pike. All moguls from people making them with the fresh snow. So my body was killing me. By the end of the day, my legs were burning

But yeah, I definitely think it's something I need to improve on. I would love to even still take a lesson now, even though I clearly know how to ski, I just want to improve my technique. Like one of my friends. Pike, what kind of you were saying? It's beautiful to watch them almost. They ski, and it looks like they're gliding and they're floating, and it's just pike, pretty to watch
