    In this episode Nicole and Sarah talk with Tess Miner-Farra, the head of the Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah. This is a unique public charter school that serves 9th-12th grade students focused on winter sports.

    We loved learning about the Winter Sports School and what makes it such an amazing place for young student-athletes. The school has a non-traditional academic calendar, running from April to November, allowing students to focus on their athletic training and competition during the winter months. For a little history, the Winter Sports School was founded in 1994 as a partnership between the Park City ski team and local educators. In 2014, it transitioned to become a public charter school.

    The school's unique model allows students to train and compete at a high level while maintaining a rigorous college prep curriculum. Teachers and staff are very supportive of the student-athletes. The school serves around 150 students, with 30-40% being alpine ski racers, 30% freestyle/freeski, and the rest a variety of other winter and non-winter sports.

    Academics follow a traditional high school model, with students earning about 7 credits per year. As a public charter, the school must meet state graduation requirements. The application process is a lottery system for Utah residents, with a more selective process for out-of-state applicants.

    Tess discusses the challenges and benefits of the school's April-November calendar, the support provided to students when they travel for training/competition, and the school's partnerships and fundraising efforts.

    It’s clear that the Winter Sports

    In this episode Nicole talks with Alli Widman, CEO of Avant Ski. Alli recaps her eventful ski season, including trips to Alta, Heavenly, Grand Targhee, and resorts in Austria and Germany.

    Alli knows ski passes better than anyone, so we talked updates on major ski passes. Epic Pass did not have major updates, but did add the location of Crans, Montana (Switzerland) to their offering. Both Epic and Ikon Passes continued to increase prices for the upcoming season. The Indy Pass continues to be very popular, but sells out fast. And Alli recommends the Mountain Collective pass for occasional ski trips to big resorts.

    Alli shares some exciting new enhancements recently launched by Avant Ski, including a great new website with helpful features like resort guides, inspiration lists, and expanded trip planning services. We were excited to hear that Avant Ski is now offering flights, 5,000+ hotel partners, and local guide connections for full-service ski travel. Booking your ski trip through Avant Ski saves you time and gives you great perks like free breakfast, room upgrades, late checkout - and you pay the same as if you booked yourself.

    Alli also shares some of h

    In this episode, the Ski Moms are joined by Kelly Pawlak, CEO of the National Ski Area Association (NSAA). Kelly walks us through lots of interesting ski industry trends and data. The NSAA gathers data and insights from U.S. ski areas on visits, demographics, and spending. Last season there were 60.5 million skier visits, the 5th best on record, though down 7.5% from the previous year. The Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest performed strongest while the Midwest had a tough season.

    The survey highlights an aging skier population and as a result, resorts are focusing efforts on attracting more youth and families. As we often discuss, cost and accessibility can be barriers to getting a family on snow. It was great to learn that ski resorts are spending at record levels, mostly focused on lifts, housing, and infrastructure like snowmaking.

    From an industry standpoint, Kelly told us that resorts collaborate well, sharing best practices especially around safety initiatives. The NSAA has annual awards for sustainability, safety, marketing, and converting newcomers to lifelong skiers. The ski population remains majority white, affluent, and intermediate/expert skiers. Sadly, female participation is slightly declining, a trend we hope to see reversed as more and more resorts are led by women.

    Kelly recommends that families explore smaller, unique ski resorts and not just the most well known places. As always, we wrapped up learning about Kelly’s perfect ski day which involves skiing hard until lunch, then relaxing with a beer. Sounds great to us!

    In this episode we meet Maureen Poshman founder of Promo Communications, a PR agency based in Aspen, Colorado that specializes in luxury travel and hospitality. Maureen and her family have lived in Aspen for many years and she shares her extensive knowledge of the area.

    Maureen’s agency works with Portillo, a fantastic ski resort in Chile, located a 2 hour drive from Santiago airport. Maureen tells us all about Portillo, which really does sound like a perfect family ski destination. Portillo is the oldest ski resort in South America, celebrating its 75th anniversary this season. Portillo offers an all-inclusive ski week package with lodging, meals, and lift tickets at the iconic yellow hotel surrounded by 15,000 ft peaks.

    We talked about planning a family ski trip to Portillo, which would be during our North American summer.. The ski season runs from June/July through late September. Families will love the kids ski free weeks, childcare, hotel activities, and ski-in/ski-out convenience. Rates are around $4,000 per person for a week, that includes hotel, meals and lift tickets.

    We loved learning how Maureen balances running her business with an active lifestyle. Maureen takes advantage of powder days, even if that means working later into the evening. She also works in time for yoga, skinning and family ski days. And for those of us dreaming of a life in Aspen, we learned about workforce housing that aims to make living there feasible for families. It’s clear that real estate prices have soared, and the community strives to remain accessible.

    In this episode we meet Corinne Prevot the founder of Skida, and her mom Margie. Skida is a Vermont based gear and apparel company that is known for their colorful neck gaiters, headbands, and other outdoor accessories.

    Corrine and Margie walk us through Skida’s origins story, starting when Corrine was a high school student and ski racer in Vermont. We hear about the very first Skida hats and how Corinne later balanced entrepreneurship, skiing, and studies at Middlebury College (with a lot of help from her mom).

    Skida gives back to the outdoor community, both big and small with partnerships ranging from local ski programs to the US Ski Team.

    We loved learning about the Skida +1 program where for every Alpine or Nordic Hat purchase that is placed with a Skida Plus One promotional code, Skida will donate one hat to the corresponding cancer center.

    We know things get busy in December, so we're revisiting one of our FAVORITE topics...ski travel. In this episode we talk with Brianne Manz, ski mom of 3 (ages 14, 12, 10) and founder of Stroller in the City. Brianne went to ski in Europe at an all-inclusive Club Med resort. We were fascinated with this concept. We were so excited to learn about the family’s ski trip to Club Med La Rosiere in the French Alps. The resort is located on the border of France, Switzerland and Italy, they flew into Geneva and Club Med provided transportation to the resort. Brianne shares all her best travel tips.

    In this episode we meet Peggy Shinn, a freelance writer and author with extensive experience covering ski racing, Olympic athletes, and winter sports. Peggy started skiing at a young age and ski raced through college. Peggy transitioned from technical writing to sports journalism, covering ski events for local papers and national publications. Peggy began working with the U.S. Olympic Committee in 2008, covering all Olympic sports on their website. We loved learning about the many Olympic Games Peggy has covered including Shaun White's gold medal performances.

    Peggy tells us about her book, World Class which dives into the teamwork culture behind the successful U.S. women's cross-country ski team. The book provides insights on team dynamics, athlete injuries/comebacks and the need for more female coaches and reporters in sports media.

    In this episode we meet Maria Baker, the founder of Nobody’s Princess, a size and shape inclusive brand of ski and snowboard pants for women. Maria started snowboarding with friends about 9 years ago (at age 30) and instantly fell in love with being on the snow.

    Right away, Maria struggled to find snow pants that fit her properly. She kept ripping them, squeezing into pants that did not fit well and felt uncomfortable. When covid impacted Maria’s job in travel, she saw it was the right time to launch Nobody’s Princess. After some researching and networking Maria used indigogo and kickstarter to launch her snow pants. Nobody’s Princess snow pants have sizing that includes different lengths (short, regular, tall) in sizes 2-20. The snow pants come in a variety of fun colors like aqua, violet and raspberry.

    We loved learning about how Maria sourced real life women from her local Facebook group to model her pants.

    Maria also tells us about the ski resorts in Australia, including Buller and Thredbo and her favorite apres ski snacks.
