Groundhog Day, 2022 We skiers have learned over the years you take the good with the bad. When the skiing is great we know at any moment conditions could change for the worse. And when conditions suck, we can remain amazingly hopeful for that big storm that will change our fortunes overnight. But the winter […]

While we wait for the next storm cycle to come through the Wasatch mountains sharing some recently released ski shorts and movies. Enjoy! Girl Crush follows five female skiers set out for a winter camping and skiing adventure – featuring Mali Noyes, Mary McIntyre, Jessica Baker, Lani Bruntz and Nicole Jorgenson. Love to see the […]

Most of us have been there – we work hard and crash into a ski vacation. We rush to the airport and catch a flight that is two hours late landing at our destination. We dive into the rental car; drive too far and once in the mountains we down a few celebratory drinks and […]

  December 22, 2021 With the holidays fast approaching you’ll have a little extra down time to spend time with family, get outdoors (American west, have you checked the forecast?) and watch some quality television. We’re sharing here a few new releases from the ski world. Enjoy! In case you missed it, linking our earlier […]

Hooey Mountain “The Parking Lot” Image Arguably the most fun find on this years gift guide are the Hooey Mountain images. The ski series are photographs of miniature antique figures from the 1930’s & 40’s. There are a variety of options (both framed or unframed) featuring all types of ski scenes. Take a look for […]

November 24, 2021 We at conSKIerge can be cynical about probably too many things, and surveys about ski resorts are a particularly difficult read for us. First, there is so much that goes into evaluating a resort, is it really fair to even try to rank them? And who are these people that fill out […]

November 9, 2021 Sharing a collection of our favorite recent ski shorts to get you pumped for the season ahead. Enjoy! *** Across America there are resorts that you’ve likely never heard of. These resorts are not owned by Vail, Alterra or Powdr, they are owned by independent individuals and families with a fiercely loyal […]

The holidays are coming! And gift guides have arrived – ours will come, don’t worry. In the meantime, I wanted to share a special feature on Alexandra Williams Design. The artwork may look familiar as we included AWD’s iPhone case in our 2020 Gift Guide. The artist, Alexandra (aka Ali) is a friend of mine […]

October 30, 2021 Stuart Winchester, the man behind The Storm Skiing Journal & Podcast, is not who you’d expect. First, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. Last time we checked, not a ski town. Second, he did not grow up skiing. But don’t be fooled, Stuart Winchester truly embodies the heart and soul of skiing […]

October 18, 2021 Winter is on our doorsteps and has made a visit to some of the western mountains. It isn’t that unusual for us to see snow in October. What is a tad remarkable this fall is that there has been a sustained period of cold temps and some western ski areas have received […]

October 12, 2021 As a reminder, conSKIerge is a duo father and daughter team that loves to ski. A close second for us on the fun meter is talking about skiing.  Often that talk is about a specific experience/memory – ducking under tree branches only to find a long open pitch of untracked Snowbird powder […]

September 28, 2021 The fall chill is starting to set in across the country and our minds have turned to the ski season ahead. Now that you’ve secured you’re pass (haven’t yet? check out our latest post for the Ultimate Pass Tracker to determine which pass is best for you) it’s time to start thinking […]
